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)
