Animated short film "Puc Puc"
We are Los Calladitos! For 9 years we have been painting our characters on murals, but now one of them will have an animated adventure.
Hello! We are Los Calladitos, Mexican painters and muralists who bring our art and characters from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, to many corners of the world.
We started this project ten years ago, and since then a shared universe of fantasy has emerged in our murals, giving life to small and giant beings of light with each brushstroke.
In a world saturated with noise and constant stimuli, as artists we consider it of utmost importance that people find moments of silence that allow them to know themselves better in order to cultivate self-awareness, and thus confront their lights and shadows. Calladitos conceives silence as a response to the current frenzy.
Our path
Recently, we embarked on a new adventure: bringing the characters from the mural to the screen through animation. Thanks to the events and festivals that have allowed us to present our project, we have met wonderful people from this animated industry and we have managed to develop the story of Puc, one of our most beloved characters. And now we have the opportunity to tell it in an animated short film.
Surely many of you already know this little guy who has accompanied us in countless murals around the world, but for those who don't... Puc, a little plant-loving aluxe, and Goyo, his scientist friend in charge of taking care of the island where they live, have noticed that the other living beings are slowly withering away. One day, the plants on the island strangely fly away towards the distant horizon, and it will be Puc who will have to discover the reason. On his solitary journey he will meet Momu, the silent guardian of the waters, who will reveal to him the secret to recover life on the island again.
Calladitxs, we want to tell you that this year we were selected in the call for Support for the pre-production and production of animated projects 2024 by FOCINE, and thanks to this we will be able to carry out the pre-production until December of this year.
Your help is super important to achieve our goals and continue working on the project next year. If we achieve this goal, we will be able to do the rough animation, and at the same time work to consolidate the remaining financing to finish the short film.
Also, a part of the resources obtained in this campaign will be used in the illustration of backgrounds by specialized artists who have joined our team.
"Puc Puc" was born from an idea we had a long time ago about a hypothetical scenario where nature comes to life and plants take action to protect themselves, depriving us of food and benefits that we normally enjoy. What would happen if, in the midst of the constant hustle and bustle that surrounds us, we gave ourselves a moment to return to silence? What if we allow ourselves to introspect in order to evaluate our actions and become more aware of our behavior?
The focus of our short film is on the visual experience and contemplation, valuing silence as a fundamental means of transmitting profound messages.
At the same time, we want to speak to children through our characters, bright colors and movement. Puc's personality and his playful interaction with the environment will be the means for the message to connect with both the youngest and the oldest.
