It features songs by Christopher Curtis, Marjorie Duffield and Helen Park and a score by Steven Price (Gravity).

“It’s a very international production. We have people in Holland, in Spain, France, Canada, China. It was truly a new model of doing animation not only internationally, but within a studio system — unique the way Netflix and Pearl collaborated on this project,” Keane mentioned in an interview with media.
