Nostalgic youtube finds...
Discussion
On my travels around youtube when bored you come across classics, and little gems from when you were a wee whipper snapper... I just stumbled upon 'The Snowman' by Raymond Briggs. Now that was proper nostalia. reminded me of Christmas when I first saw it on TV, and was absolutely gobsmacked by the animation. Stunning stuff.. I also feel a bit sorry for the young guy who did the original song for the film, as the git Aled Jones really stole his thunder.

From there I tried to remember the other Raymond Briggs animation, (I refuse to call them cartoons), 'When the Wind Blows'. Again, a fantastic bit of mini-cinema, made even better by the voices of Sir John Mills, and Peggy Ashcroft. Apparently they did the voice-overs in one take.

Along with 'Watership Down' and 'Plague Dogs' these truly are astounding bits of film.
Any more for any more?
