The Snowman and the Snowdog

The Snowman and the Snowdog (2012) is a hand-drawn British animated film you can watch online — a sequel to Raymond Briggs' classic from 1982, made for Channel 4's Christmas broadcast on its thirtieth anniversary.

A boy moves to a new house with his mother and builds a Snowman and a Snowdog in the garden. Both come to life that night. Director Hilary Audus kept the same pencil-drawn, no-CGI style as the original and the storytelling stays wordless — expression and movement carry it. Twenty-four minutes. A quiet, well-made companion piece to the original that respects what made it work. Stream The Snowman and the Snowdog online on iFILM.
