And he will be singing in it just like he did in Lyle, Lyle Crocodile. According to Variety, Shawn Mendes will have his original new song Something Big featured in new animated movie BUTTERFLY TALE from Pink Parrot Media.

Patrick who stows away in a milkweed trailer in order to be part of the
journey of a lifetime. With his best friend, a goofy caterpillar named
Marty, and Jennifer, a butterfly who is afraid of heights, Patrick will
become an unlikely hero. But first he must face his fear, embrace his
uniqueness and triumph over adversity while battling changing weather
patterns, humans and three evil birds bent on revenge. It is a tale of
adventure, self-realization and heroism told with humour whose message

it is in adversity that our true character shines through.
