John Coates a very good friend and producer if The Snowman has a just giving page set up in memory of him. If any of his many films ever touched you then please donate .

Thanks for taking the time to this page in memory of John Coates.

John spent his career making animated films to entertain and delight adults and children alike. There was always a charitable angle when any of the numerous TVC films were launched and it is fitting that the family have chosen children's charity, Children With Cancer.

John's film credits include:

Yellow Submarine, When the Wind Blows, The Snowman, Wind in the Willows, Beatrix Potter and Friends, Granpa, Famous Fred, Oi! Get off Our Train, The Bear to name a few, and he was currently working on the sequel to The Snowman at the time of his death.

We hope that you take a moment to reflect on the joy these films have brought to many over the years and donate towards a really good cause.
