This Christmas, Disney has released a brand new original film, "The Naughty Nine" on Disney+ around the world.  The film is a hilarious holiday adventure following eight kids and one grown-up who fly to the North Pole and break into Santa’s vault to take the presents that they didn’t get for Christmas, because they were on the naughty list. In this family-friendly heist film, audiences are treated to heartwarming moments and a positive message.
Recently, I got to speak with the film's composer Kenny Wood and director Alberto Belli, where they shared stories on how they decided to stir up the holiday magic by paying homage to the golden era of film scoring. The music is reminiscent of 80’s and 90’s film scores, and features memorable themes told with a symphony orchestra and stellar vocalists. Of course, there’s also some fantastic jazzy heist scenes!
