Have the double-feature disc myself; really enjoy both. For this new release, I wonder if they'll use the American dub version this time for Father Christmas, or the original Brit track with Mel Smith (which I have never heard, but it's supposed to be a little "saucier" than the U.S. one ...).

I've always loved The Snowman as a child. A classic 
I always watch it at Xmas to get me in the mood.
The ending is very sad
As for Father Christmas, I'm only familliar with the original English track (with Mel Smith doing the voice of Father Christmas).
