“We know so many people who struggle with anxiety or we struggle with it and have panic attacks ourselves,” Crawford says. “Children can handle these scenes, maybe sometimes better than adults, and it can help everyone to feel seen if we create a scene that feels like it’s drawn from something that really happens.”
Lynn Bufka, a clinician with training in the area of panic attacks and associate chief of practice transformation at the American Psychological Association, says breath control is a crucial part of learning to manage panic attacks and Perrito’s support is also a significant lesson. “Animation can definitely be a place for escapism, for these sort of fairytale worlds,” Crawford says. “But what we were after was a fairytale look that was also grounded in realism with Puss’ panic attack. These feelings are real and important.”
In the scene just before the panic attack, Puss and his friends are fighting to continue their journey, so the sound is full of dialogue, music and other elements. Jennings and his team decided to create a contrast from the earlier scene by just using the sound of breathing and a real heartbeat.
