Autour de Minuit, a co-producer of Annecy contender “Unicorn Wars,” has acquired international rights to another Annecy entry, the dialogue-free “Two Little Birds” (“Dos pajaritos”), a 20-episode series by Uruguayan animators Alfredo Soderguit and Alejo Schettini (2013 Bafici Audience Award winner “Anina”). The deal excludes co-production territories Argentina, Colombia and Uruguay.
Produced by Luciana Roude at Argentina’s Can Can Club (“Teclópolis”), Soderguit at Uruguay’s Palermo Estudio (“Anina”) and pubcaster Señal Colombia, the ornithological slapstick comedy follows the hilarious situations lived by two little birds sharing the same tree. One is white and the other is black and they coexist harmoniously until a new element – an absurd object, a visitor – bursts into their peaceful ecosystem. They will then face extremely absurd confrontations and their consequences. A new scenario begins in each episode.
Although the characters are bird toons, their impulses and emotions give them deeply human traits.
