Snowtime! (French: La Guerre des tuques 3D), also released as La Bataille géante de boules de neige in France and Cleo in the United Kingdom,[4] is a Canadian computer-animated 3D film from Quebec, released in 2015.[5] Directed by Jean-François Pouliot, it is an animated remake of the 1984 film The Dog Who Stopped the War (La Guerre des tuques).[6]

The film inspired the spinoff television series Snowsnaps (Les Mini-Tuques) that premiered in September 2018. A sequel film, Racetime (La Course des tuques), was released in December 2018.[7]

Premise

The film centres on a group of children, led by Luke (Nicholas Savard-L'Herbier / Angela Galuppo) and Sophie (Mariloup Wolfe / Lucinda Davis), who plan and stage a giant snowball fight during the Christmas holidays.[5]

Production

Having earned $3,359,425 in 2015, the film was the highest-grossing Canadian film at the domestic box office during the calendar year, thus winning the Cineplex Golden Screen Award conferred by the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television.[8][9] It had its American premiere at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival.[10] The film was released in English Canada on February 12, 2016 and the United States on February 19, 2016.[2]

The soundtrack features many songs by various artists, including two recordings of "L'hymne" by Celine Dion, one English rendition as a solo artist and one French rendition recorded as a duet with Fred Pellerin.
