In celebration of 100 years of outstanding Brazilian animation, creative design studios Lobo/VetorZero harken to Brazil’s colorful past and innovative future with the short video “Brazil Frame by Frame – 100 Years of Brazilian Animation” for the Annecy International Animated Film Festival. The 100-second video, helmed by directing duo Alton, reimagines some of Brazil’s most celebrated animated work, from the first Brazilian short film “O Kaiser,” created in 1917, and the 1929 “Macaco Feio, Macaco Bonito,” to the more recent fan-beloved and Oscar-nominated “The Boy and the World,” among others. The vibrant short cuts together iconic moments in Brazil’s storied animation history, weaving 100 years-worth of styles and techniques, breathing fresh life into some of the most beloved characters and moments in a delightful homage to the industry’s centennial. The film was part of an activation created by Agency F/Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi that featured outdoor and digital components and 10 documentary shorts.
Choosing the short films to be featured in the project was no easy feat, and Alton selected the artists to best represent the animation community out of hundreds of Brazil’s creative greats. Notes Alton, “This project was only possible thanks to the work of several talented illustrators, who recreated some animations that were lost in time,” including “Piconzé,” created by the author of colored animated feature films in Brazil, Ypê Nakashima.
Considered among the highest-regarded animation film festivals, the Annecy International Animation Film Festival showcases the best of cartoon films over various mediums in categories including features, shorts, television and advertising, student and internet works. The festival took place in Annecy, France from June 11, 2018 to June 16, 2018, where Lobo/Vetor Zero earned the acclaimed Cristal for a Commissioned Film for Leica, “Everything in Black and White,” directed by Mateus de Paula Santos.

About Lobo
We are Lobo, a creative studio dedicated to moving images. Our expertise covers a broad range of media and techniques, like 2D animation, stop motion, 3D, VFX and live action. Grounded in state-of-the-art facilities and an experienced team of directors, our studio is ready to turn your stories into films.
Founded in 1994 by Nando Cohen and Mateus de Paula Santos while they were still in college, Lobo immediately stood out for its bold style and innovative visual language. We soon grew into one of the major players among the top ad agencies, TV networks and film studios in Brazil. It wasn’t long before we expanded our structure to cater to markets all across Latin America, Europe and the USA, raking in plenty of awards along the way from institutions like D&AD, The One Show, Cannes Lions and the Art Directors Club, to name just a few.
To make our North American ties even stronger we opened a satellite office in NYC under the Creative Direction of Guilherme Marcondes, a member of the original Lobo roster who is now back into the fold after a successful solo run in the US that included work for clients such as British Gas, Google, Hyundai, Audi and Pepsi.
