A big part of the charm of Strange Magic is how very fun it is—the film deals with a number of serious issues, but there is still so much joy and happiness in it. So I would like the theme for February to be ‘fun’!
Zero, who had been inspecting one of the corners of their new Lair, hoping to find a mouse, instantly abandons her fun when she hears the inflection in his voice. Usually she would make him wait, and call her again, before going to him, just to make sure they both knew that she didn’t have to come when he called.
But this is his things-are-very-serious tone, the tone he uses when things are dangerous, or when he really needs her for something important. So she goes to him immediately.
