5.0 out of 5 stars The First Snow of Winter, 21 Jun 2007
When Sean the duck displays the mischievous side to his nature, it almost costs him his life. But this little duck is made of stern stuff and with the help of his friends, he grows in both stature and character. This delightful tale of one duck's fight for survival in the frozen winter is full of the highs and lows of a perfect story. It is tinged with both sadness and humour and will delight children( and adults!) of all ages. A film which should have reached a bigger audience - a delight not to be missed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Film, 12 Dec 2008
By J. Mackenzie ""Snap snap, puppy"" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I got this for my little sister who is 10, and she absolutely loves it.

The film is about a duckling called Sean, who falls out the sky after being spooked by an aeroplane. Then, with a broken wing cannot join the other maigratory birds as they fly on southwards.

Sean meets a helpful Vole who mends his wing, gives him food, and later on, saves his life.
During the winter, Sean finds his best friend Puffy, who had also fallen out of the sky, and takes her to the safety of his Boot shelter.

This film is beautifully animated, with lovely country scenery and irish music.
The irish voice acting is well done also.

And, being under 30 minutes long, children don't get restless, as they normally do whilst watching a feature-length movie.
So it's SHORT and SWEET.

One of my sisters favourites now, and I highly recommend it to any child between the ages 4 and 12.

5.0 out of 5 stars For the young at heart, 21 Jun 2009
By Ms. J. L. Wilkinson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The first snow of winter is a tale about a curious young duck named Shaun, who in the excitement of heading south for the winter, becomes parted from his family and takes up refuge with his friends puffin and a mole. A heart wrenching tale as Shaun struggles against the cold isolation of winter, but many comical moments that will appeal to all ages, when Shaun finds that he is not so alone after all.

I bought this for my mum as it is on TV every chrsitmas and after years of hearing about, it but always missing it, i thought it about time that I see what all the laughter was about.
