Zagim said the movie has been on his mind for years, but it’s hard to break the story line to convey its message of empowerment to the fantasy world where music is at its center. Perry’s presence as an employee helped bring things to the fore with his enthusiasm and enthusiastic voice. “It’s very difficult, but after all these years I’m glad I didn’t do it sooner because only now I feel ready,” Zag told Deadline. “Melody is a person who needs to believe in herself, and for that she needs to learn to love herself before thinking about how people look at her. Big pop stars live in golden castles, famous for paparazzi but for a girl there is passion and fear. And I’ve never seen anyone as creative as Katie to play this character. ”

Perry said there’s good reason for that. “I’m a 37-year-old woman still struggling with insecurity,” she said. “I realize that everyone is vulnerable, and if you’re not like that, I’m wondering if you have negative qualities because of that. I’m a big fan of the animation world and since my daughter was two years old I’ve been more immersed than ever before. What resonates with me about his melody and character is that the whole script is about self-confidence. I realized that laying the groundwork for my son to be fearless, confident and courageous, there can’t be enough movies with such strong empowerment themes.”

“I come from a different generation now where there is a constant response, usually in the form of comments, peer pressure, and bullying,” she said. “Storytelling is a good way for young people to find courage and confidence. When I was a kid, I only needed one person to help my mentor. I took it and kept rocking. I say fragrant peach jelly every time, but it wasn’t always like that for me when I started. There have been many setbacks and many losses over the course of almost ten years. I moved to Los Angeles when I was 17, signed with three labels and left. I have two cars, but when I went to the farmer’s market across the street, people stopped for a long time.

So I knew I had something to do and I had to keep working and rocking on it. “And if you keep moving, especially if you really work on improving your craft and do it really well, the math will start in your favour,” he said. “I think the first step for young people is to try to get involved. I believe in trying everything once and not sitting on the sidelines. I encourage my daughter not to be afraid because she has a fearless mother and father. You don’t want to live with 10% of what life has to offer. Why not 100%? Melanie is a great character, self-confident, she struggled to lose her spiritual guide sister. She goes to the big city and feels very lonely. I went through this process, left my small town of Santa Barbara, and went to Los Angeles at age 17 to make new friends. And I almost have to trust my imagination, like Melanie, who has to trust her seven magic notes.”
