Production notes
A group of Walt Disney Animation Studios Artists wanted to say something to help create empathy for immigrants and refugees. They felt that if they could make people feel compassion for something as tiny and insignificant as a little dandelion, perhaps they could make people feel more for their fellow human beings.
