Reception
[edit]Music critic Jonathan Broxton commented "Jeremy Zag handles the tonal shifts well, captures the emotional content of the story, and allows his music to build to some superbly satisfying heights, especially in the action sequences and in the stirringly emotional finale."[5] Lori C. of Ready Steady Cut felt that "The music could have been better. Not only are most of the songs forgettable, but it's also obvious that the voice actors and the singers are different people, and the contrast between voices takes away from the story."[6] Tessa Smith of Mama's Geeky called it as "catchy and entertaining".[7]

[edit]Foreign language versions of the album were released on 5 July 2023, alongside the score album, in international territories were the film was released theatrically. For the territories where the film was distributed by Netflix, it was released on 28 July 2023.
