Directors Tomm Moore and Ross Stewart from Cartoon Saloon, the Irish animation studio behind the Oscar-nominated films "Song of the Sea", "The Secret of Kells" and "Wolfwalkers", gave their contribution for fanstasy scenes set in the virtual world.

BELLE is produced by Hosoda's long standing collaborator, Yuchirio Saito, president of Studio Chizu, the director's animation banner.
