Historical epic “The Flame of Blues,” from Argentina’s Blu Animation Studio and father-daughter relationship tale “My Dad the Truck,” by Colombia’s María Cristina Pérez, figure among 14 titles – half series, half features – at Ventana Sur’s 2022 Animation!.
Further buzz titles take in “Esther,” from Argentina’s Ezequiel Torres, an action-packed coming of age adventure, doc series “The Imposible Future,” by Argentina’s Martin Haas and Antonio Balseiro and pre-school comedy adventure “King Gaston,” from Brazil’s Diogo Viegas.
Now firmly established as one of Latin America’s foremost animation forums, 2022’s Animation! saw an all-time record of 203 submissions.
That high attests to animation’s continuing growth in Latin America, powered primarily by a new generation of vocational animation talent which has broken through in the last 5-15 years, often spending much of them making shorts or animated commercials.
All of Animation!’s movie projects are from first time feature directors,...

Spain’s Lightbox Entertainment, producer of the smash hit “Tadeo Jones” toon movie franchise, is teaming with Portugal’s Sardinha em Lata, Brazil’s Gepetto Filmes and Spain’s Xose Zapata to make “Alice’s Diary,” a 52-episode animated series for toddlers.
“Alice’s Diary” is also backed by Portuguese pubcaster Rtp and its Spanish counterpart, Tve.
Sardinha em Lata is best known for backing “My Grandfather Used to Say He Saw Demons,” a film that counterpoints 2D and stop-motion to contrast life in an alienating big city and the protagonist’s rural land.
Brazil’s Gepetto Filmes produced “Chico Na ilha dos Jurubebas.”
Pursuing a proficient itinerary for an animation project seeking partners from Spain, Latin America and Europe, “Alice” was presented at France’s Annecy Intl. Animation Festival and Spain’s Weird Market as well as the Co-production and Business Forum of the Quirino Awards, which today Saturday celebrate their 2021 prize ceremony.
