Uprated for the childhood nostalgia.

Every bloody Christmas!

I hope everyone has a film like this.

I liked the art and style, but not the story itself.

an old classic

It's pretty cute and and enjoyable, with some nice animation. Still, there's something about it I found a little unsettling and it's rather tiring at times.

Nice enough, something you can watch with Granny and spawner of 1000 jokes involving Aled Jones's voice cracking during 'Walking in the Air'.

Highly charming little fantasy

*sigh* the movie version of hot cocoa + a warm blanket.

So cute, a must-watch every Christmas.

So lovely!

I prefer the original ending where he wakes up, not in his bed, but in the padded white confines of a sanitarium.

a great christmas movie

The music makes this more then just pure nostalgia. A seasonal classic.

For me, this is almost perfection... a sentiment which is based 90% on nostalgia, having first seen it as a young child and grown up revisiting it frequently on VHS. Yet even when I disregard that history, I can still see the elements which make this a classic - the universality of the story, the crystal clear language of facial expressions, the beautiful warm humour, the magical realism, the haunting music. And of course the ending - it still brings tears to my eyes every time.

Watched this almost every christmas. I have fond memories of it.

amazing short film!

Wonderful short film.

Dreamlike.
