Product description

Product Description

A Snowman-like animation - Woman; A moving, unsentimental and often humorous take on the traditional story - The Guardian; A 25 minute animated film without words based on the picture book by Peter Collington. The traditional nativity characters feature in the story but the setting is contemporary the plot touching and original. On Christmas Eve a poor old woman plays her accordion in the street. Apart from two children, the passers-by ignore her and by the end of the day she has to sell her accordion to buy some food. Worse is to come. On her way home a thief steals her money. She discovers that he has also vandalised the church - the little Nativity figures lie scattered on the floor and the collection box is empty. The old woman restores order and sets off exhausted towards her caravan. But before long she collapses in the snow. And now the magic begins. The little Nativity figures come to life and carry her safely home. They make sure that her good deeds are rewarded so that in the morning she wakes to the most wonderful Christmas she could ever imagine. Includes the bonus story On Christmas Eve

the best animated christmas film ever

ByMs. T. Airthon 8 February 2009

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

I'm beginning to think i had dreamt about this film because nobody seems to have watched it. I was clearing away the wrapping paper one Christmas morning when my daughter had gone to her dads and i was feeling sad. The tv was on and this little film i had never heard of came on. It was magical and lifted my spirits!!!! Please watch it.

Re-lived my childhood

ByMr. Mm Tayloron 23 January 2014

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Like everyone else on here I have bought the DVD for 'on christmas eve' as I have fond memories of watching this when I was younger. My parents still have the video cassette but I wanted a copy on DVD so this fits the bill perfectly. It's a simple and silent christmas story but there's something about it, maybe with the music in the background, just seems to take me back to being a child eagerly anticipating christmas morning. Looking forward to one day showing this to my children.

'On Christmas Eve' and 'Granpa'

Bys.stewarton 26 November 2010

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

'On Christmas Eve' is a beautiful and magical piece of animation that was shown on television many years ago. I have shown this film to my class of nursery children every Christmas since then and they have been captivated by it. So why isn't is screened every year on television? It's the same with 'Granpa' - another fabulous piece of animation directed by the late Diane Jackson. Again, I show it to my 3 and 4 year olds and they are entranced!! And it hasn't even been released on DVD!! Utter madness. Channel 4, hang your heads in shame. 'Granpa' and 'On Christmas Eve' are every bit as good as 'The Snowman' and much better than 'Father Christmas' for the younger viewer. Children in this country are being deprived of superb animation. It's such a terrible shame and makes me want to weep.

I love it so much

Bygoldduston 28 January 2016

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

I've searched for this little gem of a film for years and at last I found it....for Christmas of all times !...I love it so much...kept watching it over and over again over the festive season. It's a silent festive film, although there's no talking in it, you can still make out what the story is about ( it brings a tear to your eye as well ). A Small Miracle is a film I will never ever part with !!!!!

I have bought this mainly for the bonus DVD - "On Christmas Eve", which is a beautiful Xmas story for children. My own children loved it and so did I. I am sure my granddaughter will love it in a few years (she's newborn right now) and it will make her feel "Christmassie"

Christmas dvd

ByJb Grahamon 5 February 2014

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Bought this for a friend when I saw it for sale on Amazon. There's two short films on one dvd. I think after
Being used to Pixar films this was slight disappointing. Glad I didn't pay a lot of money for it. She says her grandchildren like it.
