Original score from the 2025 family adventure feature film directed by Joona Tena, starring Siiri Virtanen, Tommi Korpela and Albert Oksala, produced by Yellow Film & TV and Nafta Films.

THE STORY: A little girl has secret superpowers but can’t use them when a highway project is threatening the nearby forest. Desperate to save it, she invents an elaborate lie about an endangered flying squirrel inhabiting the woods.

THE SCORE: “At this point writing music for Super Furball is like returning home, as this is the third film in the series. It’s been wonderful developing old themes, and coming up with new ones like the squirrel’s whimsical yet melodramatic theme, as well as an anthem for the forest the students try to save. This is probably the most thematic of the three Super Furball scores, with multiple themes often intertwining to tell a story from many angles. What remains constant throughout all of them is a celebration of melody, which you will find a lot in here!” – Panu Aaltio
