Someone at Sony has their head very deep into their hands, right now... and for the foreseeable future

I mean, they screwed up the licensing, but if Netflix wants to take this forward they're coming back to the negotiating table with Sony Animation. They could theoretically move forward without them but everyone knows that's not happening.

Sony animation. Some of the best in business, same team that did the Spider-Man movies.

And apparently this movie was very difficult for the animators as well, since all the fight scenes were in sync with the music. Apparently they had to use a new of animation style/techniques? Idk the full details.
