The campaign that ended in December 2016 was also used as a platform by the creators to share their feelings and thoughts. They wrote of the decision to create a cartoon that tells an LGBTQ story, saying that they feel it is a topic that hasn’t been explored in computer animation. They added that they are very excited to share what is a personal topic in a sweet and cheerful way.
