Suzy Snowflake
Now I am sharing something very personal, & very beautiful with you, dear reader. It's old, & only 2 1/2 minutes long, & once you see it you never forget it.
This magical stop action short is from 1951 & was shown on TV during the holiday season throughout the 1950's. I first saw it as an impressionable child. "Suzy Snowflake" is a collaboration between four American pop artists from early in their careers: film artist & designer Wah Ming Chang; songwriters Sid Tepper & Roy C. Bennett; & choral conductor Norman Luboff. It might still be a popular little film had it been made in color.

My mother used to say "Here comes Suzy Snowflake." Like when a kid came in from making a snowman or something. I never knew where it came from, I thought she made it up.
