A double bill screening of Raymond Briggs' animated Christmas classics 'The Snowman' and 'The Snowman and the Snowdog' at Odeon Stoke.
The Snowman and The Snowman & The Snowdog are playing as a double bill at Odeon Stoke on Friday 6 November. It's two of Raymond Briggs' animated classics back-to-back, so you get both in one sitting rather than having to pick one or the other.
The Snowman is the one most of us know by heart: a young boy builds a snowman who comes to life and takes him on a flying visit to the North Pole. It's a short, wordless story, and it's the one that usually starts the whole thing off. The Snowman & The Snowdog picks up the thread later. A new boy moves into the house where the original snowman was built; he finds a photograph of him, rebuilds him, and fashions a snow dog out of the leftover snow. The three of them then fly off in a plane to meet Santa, who gives the boy a magical dog collar that makes it the happiest Christmas ever for him. Together they make a full programme of Briggs' two winter stories.

It's a double bill, so you'll see The Snowman first and The Snowman & The Snowdog to follow. Both are based on Raymond Briggs' work, and both are animated. If you've seen one but not the other, it's a good chance to catch up on both in one go. The screening is at Odeon Stoke in Stoke-on-Trent on Friday 6 November.
