Animal Channel

The stork Katy, the mouse Nico and his family are forced to close the cinema where they work for a living. It has reached the age of television and many of its old spectators stay in their houses fascinated by the new television programs. With the courage and imagination that characterize, our friends decide to become the intrepid reporters of a new television channel directed by papa mouse. A television channel made by and for animals. The animal channel has been born.

From the beginning I knew that it would have to be redesigned. The old characters of Qué Vecinos Tan Animales! were 11 years old and they were too weedy and simple.

We looked for an aesthetic probably less original but that worked better with the history and the characters and also with the taste of the spectators. From the technical point of view we combine the two dimensions and the animation in flash.
