We're riding that music for the entire episode. It really is like doing a combination of a movie score and a Broadway show.

One thing [the composers] bring to the show is a sense of not playing down to the audience. The music works on so many levels. It's fairly sophisticated, but it's also lots of fun.

We don't make fun of the music in the slightest. We treat it with the utmost respect.

It's a brand-new kind of animation developed for Nick Jr.. It's very real-looking.

This is a unique series, one that doesn't talk down or play down in the slightest to its audience. It's not something a teenager would be embarrassed to enjoy or admit he loves. Parents, the same thing.

We're dedicating this concert to John Rutter out of profound respect to him and his contribution to choral music. What he's given the world is really remarkable.
