Molly and the Moon tells the story of Kate (Bell) and Brian (Groff), a couple expecting a babe girl, whom they sing to while she is still in utero to help her detect her mode to the moon — a metaphor for "beingness live and participating in the world," Bays, 45, told Borderline.
The story was inspired by Thomas and his wife's experience with their son Elliot. "Nosotros discovered later on he was born that Elliot had Jacobsen Syndrome, a rare genetic deletion where a piece of 1 of the 11th chromosomes has cleaved off, resulting in the loss of sure genes that become into making a healthy, typical baby," Thomas said, explaining that he and his married woman were not initially able to concur their babe.
"What do you exercise when y'all can't agree your infant? You sing to your baby," Thomas continued. "Singing was our mode of speaking to Elliot."

"That is the reason we made Molly and the Moon a musical, and to this day, music is such a part of what defines Elliot. Information technology got him to stand upward, and he walked and talked considering of music," he added of his son.
Thomas went on to share that his wife "fabricated upward a piffling simple lullaby near [Elliot's] name that she would sing to him that just sort of came to her in that location in the [neonatal intensive care unit], and that actual melody and lullaby is what we employ in the flick. The meter of Molly Moon is sort of the same as Elliot."
"Musicals are always well-nigh the showtime moments that evidence why they are musicals," he connected. "Kate, our lead character, the mother, is singing a lullaby to her pregnant belly and the camera pushes in on her pregnant belly and that is our entrance into a whole other world where nosotros run into a mysterious fiddling daughter in a rowboat in the middle of the ocean, looking up at the moon and hearing that song, hearing that lullaby come through the moon. It's the moment you realize in that location's this little soul, this life that wants to exist and be in the world and wants to reach the sound of that vocalism. She doesn't know what information technology means or who it is."
"It just sounds similar love, and she wants to achieve information technology, and that'due south sort of the moment that nosotros connect the ii worlds of our picture show, the world of Molly and the real world that her parents are living in," Thomas said.

Bays told Borderline that the movie — executive produced by Tory Metzger, with producers Renee Witt, Jaren Ian Goldman and Jamal Daniel, alongside Bays and Thomas — would be "all live action," as he and his writing partner "really wanted to make it feel like the classic live-action fantasy movies of our childhood, things similar Labyrinth and The Night Crystal."
"Equally nosotros were building off of this metaphor, it became, how do we show this journeying? How do we visualize a soul trying to make information technology into the world?" Trophy said. "For us, information technology felt like the journey of climbing a mountain. Molly is this footling girl and the moon in the moving picture represents being alive and participating in the earth. It'south her journey, trying to get to the moon."
"Effectually that, we congenital this magical fantasy world that we cut back and forth from, that interacts with the real earth in surprising ways," he added. "We see the fantasy journey and the friends she makes along the manner. In that location's a knight in shining armor. There'southward a talking bunny that she meets in the wood. At that place'due south a monster that she has to face. It's a real hero'due south journey for her."
Bell, 40, expressed her joy over the film on social media Th, sharing a link to the Borderline commodity and writing, "I am so excited for this project!!!!" Bong and Groff'south Frozen co-star Josh Gad commented on the postal service, "Yesssss!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥."
