I remeber it, but I can’t remember the name either!
The First Snow of Winter
UK, 1998.
30 minutes. Color.
Directed by Graham Ralph. Produced by Jackie Edwards.
This delightful animated film from the UK tells the story of Sean, “a duck run amok,” as we are told by his affectionate but reproachful mother. Though “Fly South for the Winter Day” is fast approaching, Sean and best friend Puffy the Penguin have other things on their minds. Sliding down hills and racing through a landscape awash with the last colors of a waning fall, the youngsters are cheerfully oblivious to any dangers that surround them, such as hungry foxes and jumbo airplanes.
But Sean soon pays a price for his distractibility, becoming separated from his family during the annual migration and breaking his wing in the process. Befriended back on land by a clever and caring water vole, Sean learns how to gather food and prepare shelter for the coming harsh winter.
Through it all the plucky young duck learns about friendship, resourcefulness, loyalty, and love. A favorite on the festival circuit, parents will find themselves cheering along with their children at the uplifting and discussion-provoking ending.
Producer Jackie Edwards has worked on children’s films since 1995. Her projects include “The Forgotten Toys,” starring Bob Hoskins; SPIDER!; the BBC’s “William’s Wish Wellingtons” and “Angelmouse;” and Channel 4’s “So Many Santas.” She is working on a BBC Christmas special entitled SECOND STAR TO THE LEFT and a new series for ITV.
