She said:
“It’s been over four years in the making, developing these scripts and then having an in-house team of about 48 artists who developed all the characters and the worlds.In animation, nothing is for free. Every prop and everything, as you know, has to be created. And we were so lucky to be able to work with this group of very global artists.”
