PICTURED: The Snowman: an original animation cel of the Snowman and James Flying.

Original animation cells from the Christmas film 'The Snowman' have sold at auction for £14,000.

The 16 drawings were sketched on celluloid plastic and then filmed in sequence to give the impression they were moving.

They were sold individually, with the most valuable being a picture of James and the Snowman embraced in a hug.
