Snowman Film

[Bo]

Who sung the 'we're walking in the air' song on the animated film 'The Snowman'? Was it actually Aled Jones?

[emma_landray]

yes

[Rumford]

No. According to imdb.com 'Walking in the Air' was sung by Peter Auty in the original 1982 release but it looks as though Aled sang it when it was rereleased.

Rumfords right, it was Peter Auty, jones version was a cover.

[jenstar]

No, it's always been Peter Auty. Dunno where anyone would get the idea that it had been changed to Jones' version, especially considering that would mean having to pay royalties on the thing. Don't trust everything you read on IMDb!

I thought it was a well known fact that Aled only sang the single release and not on the original animation.

..Aled Jones did not sing on the animation... he just had a very canny agent who released Aled's version at the right time... the poor old choir boy who sang on the Snowman just got paid a small fee for the one off performance....succker!...
