I thought there was a sequel, but maybe I'm thinking of some other Raymond Briggs animated stories that are often packaged with it... haven't seen them, but the Snowman is one of the very best things. Brit animation hit some other high points around that time too. That color pencil on frosted cel look has so much warmth and charm. (Canadian animator Frederic Back is a master of it too.)
Worth looking up- I think there were several versions (for TV, for video) and the Bowie intro is only one of them and not the only official one (but it's cool).
