Parabella delivers another lighthearted narrative with this year’s holiday piece for the Belgian Lottery. The life of a snowman is often cold and noninclusive. While families celebrate indoors, these cold frosty gentlemen are left outdoors to their own devices. One such snowman in Belgium has his dreams granted, as the animals of the forest assist in cultivating the holiday spirit in this snowy landscape. It’s quite impressive, not to mention the top notch character design and roaming camerawork.
