On further reflection, I've decided that any sequel to The Snowman is a bad thing. The Walking in the Air sequence was magical specifically because it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The boy's scarf is special because it came from a friend who had but one day to live. It was a special Christmas memory that the snowman gave to one boy in the whole world. Having him come back to life and do it all over again cheapens the original short.
