More information:
Originally published in 1978, 'The Snowman' - created and illustrated by Raymond Briggs - has become one of the world’s most popular children’s stories. In 1982, it was adapted as a 26-minute animated film, which quickly turned into a hand-drawn animation bible.
In keeping with the book, the film of 'The Snowman' is wordless and free of dialogue, except for the now iconic 'Walking in the Air' which features as part of a now timeless musical score.
Both song and score were written and composed by Howard Blake, who had in fact written the melody some years before, having been inspired by a walk on a Cornish beach.
