He wrote, "Singing, dancing and playing in the sandbox with Will Ferrell made a whole lotta dreams come true." He further penned down, "Perfect time for a little sabbatical from movie making. I’m gonna miss every second of working with this obscenely gifted group of creators and artists. These days, kindness matters as much as talent. I’ve been lucky to work with folks who are flush with both." Spirited is touted to be a Christmas musical and will be a modern retelling of Charles Dickens' tale A Christmas Carol.
