The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf should have aired before the first season of The Witcher. Maybe then the latter would have made some sense (I haven't read the books or played the game).

This animated movie is so good, it should have actually been a series; it is gripping from beginning to end, the action is top-notch, and it's filled with interesting characters. And I actually enjoyed the main Witcher and Geralt's future mentor, Vesemir; I'd like more of him, please.

Because of the movie, I will be watching season 2 of The Witcher, in the hope that the editing and mood are better than in the first installment.

I don't care what color the actors are or even about the inclusion of modern music, but I do care how the characters are completely butchered compared to the books. I'm a huge Quinn fan and this series, although welcome in theory, fails to capture the subtleties of each character and the humor of the narration. I want more period pieces on Netflix, yes, but please don't call this one Bridgerton. I wish I hadn't read the books, perhaps I'd have enjoyed it more.

I used to watch this movie around Christmas when I was a little girl and it hasn't left my mind since. It's one of those simple, pure stories with a poignant theme song and an endearing main character. A little bit of magic, a lot of soul, and a lesson in loyalty and kindness, topped with a satisfying ending. As a child, I was fascinated by Brother January, his long beard, and his wisdom. When I rewatched the movie today, I still had goosebumps whenever he appeared. The Snowman is my Christmas tradition and from now on I will make Twelve Months my end of the year tradition.
