In this new episode of The Animashow, I sit down with Emmanuel Delétang, founder and CEO of 22D Music Group, to explore how music doesn’t just accompany a film—it elevates it. We talk about the emotional power of sound, the evolving role of music editors, the creative relationship between composers and directors, and the impact of AI and streaming on the animation industry. Emmanuel also shares how initiatives like the Annecy Music Lab are bridging the gap between emerging composers and filmmakers. Behind some of the most iconic animated soundtracks of recent years, 22D has helped bring unforgettable scores to life—working with composers like Le Feste Antonacci, Pablo Pico, Florencia Di Concilio, Amine Bouhafa, Jeremy Zag, Manu Dibango and more on films such as 7 Bears, Falcon Express, Amélie, a Belgian child in Japan, Hola Frida, The Upside Down River, Sirocco, Miraculous: The Movie, Ernest and Celestine, Runes, The Summit of the Gods, Little Vampire, Calamity, Zombillenium, The Big Bad Fox, The Swallows of Kabul, and Kirikou and the Sorceress.. If you care about how stories sound—and why that matters—this episode is for you.
