Thelma the Unicorn Interview: Directors Jared Hess & Lynn Wang on Lampooning Fame

about the animated movie. The duo discussed the star-studded voice cast and how fun it is to parody social media and influencers. The film is set to release on

So it was like, “Yeah, let’s do it about that.” As Lynn and I were developing it, it was like all of the oddball characters that are in the book, all those themes of being insecure in your own skin and overcoming self-doubt, is something so relatable, and we really wanted to infuse all the visuals. And each character, you feel like, has experienced that in some way, whether it’s Vic or Nikki or any of the characters, really.

Jared, I’m a real Flight of the Concords fan, so it was fun enough just hearing Jemaine Clement perform and get to sing a song in this film. But then when I looked at the credits, I saw Bret McKenzie actually wrote several songs here. How did that come together? That’s such a fun reunion, seeing them both involved.Yeah, it was amazing.
