Chris Appelhans, the movie\u2019s co-writer, told the New York Post<\/a> at the Saturday ceremony, \u201cAnimation is a truly collaborative medium, and it\u2019s their voices, literally, their voices, that have brought Rumi and Mira and Zoey to life and put these songs on top of the charts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so grateful for the fans and for these wonderful, talented women who made this movie such a beacon of connection and joy in the last few months,\u201d he added. \u201cI think it\u2019s really awesome to have a symbol like the Empire State Building lit golden, just to kind of bring everybody in the city together and have a moment with music connecting us all, because it does do that. And really, really happy and proud that the movies sort of played on most of that.\u201d<\/p>\n
