The Abominable Snow Baby will premiere on Channel 4 on Christmas Day (Saturday December 25th) at 7:30pm.
The Abominable Snow Baby tells the story of a quintessentially English town which is thrown into disarray by a huge snowfall and the dramatic appearance of a 14-foot tall Abominable Snow Baby. Shunned and feared by the local townsfolk, Snow Baby is rescued by the indomitable Granny (Julie Walters) who along with grandson Albert (Hugh Dancy), welcomes him into her home.
She showers her new pet with love and affection, changing the town’s perception and helping the community overcome their initial prejudices. David Harewood will serve as the narrator.
The one-off animated special, which is an adaptation of a Terry Pratchett short story that was published as part of his book of Christmas tales titled Father Christmas’ Fake Beard, is being produced by Eagle Eye Drama in association with Sir Terry Pratchett’s indie Narrativia.
The special will feature traditional hand-drawn animation techniques.

Ohhhh. I was just about to say that there's no way this was written by Pratchett. And man, the male hero is such a whiner! I just want to give him a good slap and send him to his room. And the message that the female hero should just put up with his nonsense because a boy's feelings are so much important than a girl's is a rotten message to send out these days. Gah!
But I reread this post and realised that what I'm actually watching is a Dreamworks film called Abominable.
Thank the gods for that! I can stop watching this crap now.
