Snowtime! (French: La Guerre des tuques 3D) (released on DVD in the UK as Cleo) is a Canadian film from Quebec, released in 2015. Directed by Jean-François Pouliot, it is an animated remake of the 1984 film The Dog Who Stopped the War (La Guerre des tuques).
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.
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. It had its American premiere at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival. The film was released in English Canada on February 12, 2016 and the United States on February 19, 2016.
The soundtrack features 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.
