Moana 2 - Flicks (2024)

this is a call from the ancestors to sail to new skies and reconnect our people across the entire ocean animation needs music to move it along and in Moana 2 it's Abigail Barlo and Emily bear Who provided they started out on Tik Tok now they're the first female composers of a Disney animated film I wanted to talk to them about the music of course but first I wanted to find out how it all started we started about 2 and a half years ago two and a half years MH so it's been a long time coming it's feels like a long time but also 3 seconds I don't know it's crazy they're in the process of making something and in the the animation process is so long and detailed it's tedious yeah even watching it happen for the last two and a half years I don't know how anything gets made it's crazy it it's pixie D they developed all new technology this about this one talk about the beauty of the visuals just to get your feeling for we saw it for the first time with lighting and like all of the animation fully finished a couple days ago on my birthday and it was the best birthday present ever because I've never seen animation quite like yeah this it's honestly a lot of the STS look like Photo like that's how detailed it is they look like photographs it's insane the beauty of the animation what didn't you want to do with your music that's a good question I I think we wanted to avoid stopping dropping and singing like at that point why why are we singing we have to have a reason to sing because words aren't [Music] enough all of our characters that we met in the first film have evolved and grown the world is a lot bigger the characters are a lot bigger and we wanted to show that in the music I'm really excited for people to see the final product how's it feel to have people respond to your songs it's wonderful it's wonderful it's terrifying it's all the things you know because we've spent so long with it living inside a small group of people and kind of like allowing it to fly away and take on a life of its own is terrifying well if you've written a comedy it's easy to tell if something that you've done has worked the place fills with laughter right in drama if you see people tearing up it worked how do you know something has worked as you're watching an audience Goosebumps Goosebumps yep if we give people Goosebumps with a song If we make them feel something it emotes in their body and their body has a physical response you can tell you can tell you can feel it you can tell also they tell us thank you both very much I appreciate your time thank you Patrick flicks with Patrick Stoner explores the craft and culture of film making that enhance our communities for television stations and websites around the country great [Music]
