It ends with a request for donations to War Child.
In an interview on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Bush said she is “very keen” to record new music but has yet to start work on it. “I have a lot of ideas and I'm really looking forward to getting back into this creative space,” he said. “It's been a long time.” Asked about a return to performing live, she joked: “I'm not there yet.”
Bush told the BBC that she began working on the film immediately after Russia invaded Ukraine. “I wanted to make a little animation that had a little girl in it initially,” she said. “It was really the idea of children caught up in war. I wanted to draw attention to how horrible it is for children. And so I came up with this idea for a screenplay and felt that, actually, people would be more empathetic towards a creature than a human. That's how I came up with the idea of it being a bit perceptive.” The animated film was by Inkubus for the Tomato Twist production company.
