For starters, the fact that it's a playful universe allows for more daring than in realistic films. In a live action film, whether fiction or documentary, sound must be mostly invisible, so that the average moviegoer never discovers what happens in audio post production.
We work for hours solving problems, guiding the audience's attention, inserting sound into each every single event and editing everything heard in the theater, but few people know what we actually did.
In the animation our presence becomes clearer because there is no immediate connection with reality, so you quickly suspect that a team was behind that thinking, recording, creating, editing, mixing and supervising every step of the shoe, slipper, flip-flop; every car, big or small, gasoline or diesel; every bird from the Amazon, Canada, or the Savannah... But, deep down, it's all about the sound editor's ego, because what matters most is the immersion and emotion created.
