Since we've done that type of work [ voiceover], we know how isolating it can be, and we wanted to make the actors more comfortable.

The world is in such a place of social unrest and there's so much violence.

I was trying to foster a great working relationship between those two departments [design and the writing teams], because classically in animation the two don't get along.
