Five days ago, acclaimed Chilean animator Gabriel Osorio and his producing partner Pato Escala unveiled their latest project, an animated feature film titled "Brave Cat." The duo, known for their Oscar-winning short "Bear Story," are making the new film through their studio Punk Reboot, which recently collaborated with Lucasfilm on an episode of "Star Wars: Visions."
"Brave Cat" tells the story of Kona, a teenage forest cat who decides to face her fears and search for her missing mother, who was kidnapped by dogs working for humans. Joined by an abandoned guard dog puppy named Colin and a runaway old circus bear named Bernard, Kona embarks on a cross-country journey to find their lost families. Despite their differences, the trio stick together, embarking on a wild adventure that changes them forever.
Indie Sales, the Paris-based company, has boarded the project and unveiled a teaser showcasing the film's blend of 3D CGI and stop-motion animation. Osorio, the director, says the story is inspired by the experiences of those who stayed in Chile after the military coup, with families still searching for their loved ones. He hopes the film's message of forgiveness and hope will captivate audiences worldwide.
