Speaking in a Netflix press release, the duo discussed their involvement in the music and how the charming film is needed now more than ever: “I feel like what I have desperately needed over the last 15 months is joy, friendship, and community.”
“I think putting music in a film like this cuts to the heart of why friendship feels good and the importance of finding moments of joy in a life that has been rough for a lot of people,” Mahler explained. “I’m so excited for people to hear these songs and feel joy together. I think we all need that right now.”
“From the beginning, it was clear that this movie had a point of view about inclusion, and when you couch important discussions in an animated film like this, these ideas can be digested easily,” He went on. “The songs get you into the heart of these characters and help you follow along with the story. To be a part of that has been fantastic.”
