Powerful beauty

An amazing animation that conjures emotions to the point of tears - a beautiful film with beautiful music.

The first viewing reminded me of childhood - and the freedom of being a child. The second viewing reminded me of the same childhood freedom,

but with the reality of being trapped in an adult world.

Anecdotes
Aled Jones, the singer of single "Walking in the Air" that was released in 1985, three years after the film, is much more widely known than Peter Auty who sang the same song in the film. Many people mistakenly believe that Aled Jones also sang the song in the film. Jones sang the chart release because the song had been re-recorded for an advertisement for an English toy store's Christmas campaign (which also featured new animation).

Gaffes
When James and the Snowman are flying to the North Pole, they fly over some penguins which are not found in that region.

Citations
James: [singing] We're walking in the air/We're floating in the moonlit sky/The people far below are sleeping as we fly/I'm holding very tight/I'm riding in the midnight blue/I'm finding I can fly so high above with you/All across the world/The villages go by like dreams/The rivers and the hills/The forests and the streams/Children gaze open-mouthed taken by surprise/Nobody down below believes their eyes/We're surfing in the air/We're swimming in the frozen sky/We're drifting over icy mountains floating by/Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep/Rousing up a mighty monster from his sleep/We're walking in the air/We're dancing in the midnight sky/And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly.

Versions alternatives
The 1982 British VHS release added an introduction by David Bowie . This was included as an additional extra on the UK Special Edition DVD though the film itself featured the Father Christmas introduction, voiced by Mel Smith .
