Mexico’s massive presence as the country of honor at Annecy is no mean feat, taking organizer Pixelatl at least a year to put together the programs and secure the classic and recent short films to showcase. “We had to speak to the widows of some of these animation artists and get their works restored,” says Pixelatl founder-CEO Jose Iñesta. Mexican film institute, Imcine, helped in the recovery of at least 11 shorts, some dating back from the 1930s. For Annecy’s tribute to Mexico, Iñesta teamed up with seven renowned Mexican animation pros Sofía Carrillo, Ana Cruz, Lucía Cavalchini, Tania de León Young, Lourdes Villagómez, Christian Bermejo and Jordi Iñesta, to curate and organize the nine programs comprising 88 short films, 39 of which are directed by women and 29 produced by Imcine. While Imcine’s incentives program allots some funds to animation, they are small sums divvied up among live action, animation and other formats. Limited state support is one of the reasons why Pixelatl, an association dedicated to the creation and promotion of Mexico’s multimedia content, was born. According to Imcine, it has backed six animated features and 12 shorts in the past three years. Last year, it backed only one animated feature and five shorts while this year it has supported three features and three shorts. Private funding is just as scant. “The television networks are keener to invest in telenovelas than in animation,” observes Iñesta. Its annual festival in early September showcases Mexico’s animation, comic and video game industries, while offering training, recruitment and a market where screenings, panels and pitches are held. A host of deals on notable projects were forged at Pixelatl, including hit series “Frankelda’s Book of Spooks,” “Toontorial,” and “Villainous” that were picked up by Warner Bros. Discovery Kids & Family. José Iñesta Credit Mau Olivares Paganoni “Some 12 years ago, when Pixelatl started, there were around three people working in animation in Mexico, now we have a proper animation industry, thanks to Pixelatl,” says Iñesta. It has become a key event for studio executives from the likes of Cartoon Network, Disney, etc. Among its many activities is Ideatoon, a call for pitch bibles of animated projects of which eight are selected from the multiple entries to participate in Pixelatl’s pitching sessions. Secuenciarte calls for graphic novels or comic books. First launched in 2014, it has led to the publication of 32 comic books, some selling out at a rapid clip. Chinelos is a call for shorts from both local and international animation students and another category for international entries. Winners will be given passes to participate in the Pixelatl Festival. Paal calls for illustrated books for children ages 5-7 that is open to Latin American residents from the ages of 15 upwards. The five shortlisted projects will participate in the festival’s pitching sessions from which a winner will be picked. Each year, Pixelatl chooses a creative partner who, inspired by the year’s manifesto, develops an animated promotional short film for the festival, from which all the art and graphic images are derived. This edition counts on Lucy Animation, an all-female animation outfit from Colombia, to be Pixelatl’s creative partner. Pixelatl’s manifesto this year is “Dare to Believe,” says Iñesta, who adds that socio-political events tend to inspire the manifesto. In the year Trump became president, its manifesto was “Diversity.” After the pandemic that forced them to go online for two years, the manifesto was “We Need Each Other,” he relates. It’s keeping Aula, its online platform, running. Launched during the pandemic, it has proven useful in broadening their reach. “What is Mexican animation? It’s a group of talented Mexicans who keep on telling stories despite the host of economic challenges they face,” Iñesta concludes. The 2023 Pixelatl Festival runs Sept. 5–9.

The Annecy Festival’s tribute to Mexico as its 2023 guest county of honor brings over 250 artists and executives to the world’s biggest animation event. Here are 10 Talents to Track emerging directors and artists among an exploding animation scene. Variety could easily have chosen another 20 more. Sofia Alexander Celebrated as the executive producer and creator of Crunchyroll’s first original series “Onyx Equinox,” the tale of a young Meso-American slave who becomes the last hope of saving humanity from invading gods of the underworld. On TV “I never saw Meso-American Indigenous Mexico without Spanish influence, and I wanted to connect with my roots,” says Alexander. The series is anime influenced, not just in its aesthetics – the painterly fields of Meso-America and the frenzied gory combat – but also in its being serialization, pacing and broad audience target, including adults, she argues. A freelancer for Cartoon Network, Hasbro and Nickelodeon, but “Onyx Equinox” is her major achievement. JH Arturo and Rodolfo Ambriz Mexico City-based stop-motion specialists, the biggest in Mexico, and Annecy animation stars with Episode Four of 2019 milestone series “Frankelda’s Book of Spooks,” made for Cartoon Network Latin America and HBO Max, playing in the Mexico retrospective. They also present “Frankelda and the Prince of Spooks,” a movie spin-off, in Work in Progress. Also real film directors, moving the camera with verve on their stop-motion work, as they construct meta tales about the difficulties of creation, says Rodolfo Ambriz. Prolific, both titles form part of a far larger Cinema Fantasma slate, one title, feature “Ballad of the Phoenix,” being presented at Annecy last year. JH The Awesombrosos Sebastian and Diego Ramírez Best known to date as character designers on “Frankelda’s Book of Spooks,” with work for Netflix, Nickelodeon, Disney and Sony yet to see the light of day. Also animation producers in their own right, behind Pixelatl’s Ideatoon 19 winner “Noisy Nomads.” “We’re identical twins, so we think no two people do the same thing, we’ve had to look for individuality,” says Diego. It tells. Their high-energy projects – such as 3D comedy musical series “Noisy Nomads,” for which they’re making a teaser, and 3D feature “The Magic Market” – burst with color and characters, while often inhabiting the same physical space, still doing their own thing. JH Calladitos Ariadna Galaz and Jorge Peralta Touting murals informed by their surroundings, towering characters serving as guardians over each global city they inhabit, Galaz and Peralta take on Annecy, teasing plans to turn their static illustrations into a dynamic animated series. Diving into the psyche with no dialogue their moniker alludes to quiet, the project allows viewers to examine the mystical visuals in silence, and stands as a wholly unparalleled proposal. “Socially, we’re living in a total frenzy of noise. We want this space to be a space of silence, of meditation, lending space to the internal dialogues we’re losing more and more,” they say. HJ Sofia Carrillo Part of the so-called stop motion Guadalajara School who broke out with 2012’s “Prita Noire,” winner of a Mexican Oscar, an Ariel, then directed two jewels, 2013’s “La Casa Triste,” an attempt to process a strong history of cancer in her family, and 2017’s “Cerulia,” in which a woman revisits her now abandoned grandparent’s home, reviving, near literally, its figures of a world now dead but not buried. A doyenne of quaint gothic and multi-layered thought-provoking films, now set to direct live action feature “Dead Man’s Secret” for The Latin House of Horror, with another project close to announcement. JH Alonso Ramírez Ramos, Ana Ramírez González, Rodolfo Ambriz, Sandra Equihua Ana Cruz An animation producer and co-founder in 2013 of Mexico City’s Casiopea Studio, a collective with Sandra Medina, Andrea Mondragón and Alexandra Castellanos, whose “Poliangular,” produced by Cruz, plays at Annecy’s Tribute to Mexican Animation program in its Sur-Realities Poetic Imagery session. Accessible but experimental – “Poliangular” is a case in point – and running a large gamut of techniques, Casiopea’s productions range from shorts to video clips, commercials, festival image campaigns, capsules, workshops and exhibitions. Now aiming to provide animation on more long features and looking to enter co-production, including on international projects, Cruz tells Variety. JH Sandra Equihua Working in close tandem with her partner Jorge Gutiérrez for the past 20 years, Equihua is a graphic designer, illustrator and character designer who has won an Emmy for the character design of their acclaimed animated series “El Tigre The Adventures of Manny Rivera” and an Annie for her character design in their first animated film, “The Book of Life.” She was born in Tijuana, Mexico where she graduated from Ibero University with a bachelor’s degree in graphic design. As Gutiérrez’s partner, muse and sounding board, she plays a vital part in the creation and execution of their projects. Their latest, “I, Chihuahua,” about a masked dog wrestler luchador, is now in the works. AMDLF Ana Ramírez González Raised in Mexico, Ramírez González moved to California to attend CalArts, studying animation. Landing with Pixar, she was a visual development artist on Disney-released triumph “Coco,” her ethereal illustrations further adorning companion book “Coco Miguel and the Grand Harmony.” Recent work takes in Peter Sohn’s “Elemental.” Currently developing a short while simultaneously cultivating storytelling and directing prowess, she “likes the idea of doing something a little darker, not having so many restrictions on what to create,” and hopes to work collectively with other Latin artists in the future, delving deeper into the experimental cinematic styles that fascinate her. HJ Alonso Ramírez Ramos Having developed pilots for The Cartoon Network while boasting credits on “Gravity Falls,” Disney’s “Mickey Mouse Shorts” and “Steven Universe,” Ramírez Ramos cites close-knit peer networks and generous mentors for his buoyant, contagious enthusiasm for the Mexican animation scene. Having earned two Primetime Emmys and several Annie Awards, he strives to deliver fresh narratives with several unnamed projects in the pipeline. “The part that I’ve enjoyed the most is creating original ideas that aren’t tied to something we’ve seen before and bringing together people with diverse backgrounds to create, in an environment where we’re all thriving, being our authentic selves.” HJ Karla Velazquez and Adrian Saldaña A visual development artist for DreamWorks, Velazquez will tease her first feature “Kolaval” at Annecy alongside creative partner Adrian Saldaña. After attending the Quirino Awards and a mentorship program for women creators through Ventana Sur, the pair realized the need to present a story “where women are the leaders, the strong ones, where we change the stigma that indigenous people need to be saved, show how they can take the lead.” With an unapologetic and bold approach and striking illustrating style, the duo are set to decimate homogeneity to represent the full spectrum of their Mexican heritage.

For slow cooker: In a 4-quart slow cooker, whisk together milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and nutmeg “Ahahayy!! Viva Mexico, cabrones!” With that battle cry, Academy Award-winner Guillermo del Toro announced Mexico as the Country of Honor at this year’s Annecy, France’s preeminent animation film festival. According to organizer Pixelatl, an association dedicated to the creation and promotion of Mexico’s multimedia content, more than 250 Mexican animators and producers will descend on Annecy with nine programs scheduled. “The Book of Life” director Jorge R. Gutiérrez, whose Netflix series “Maya and the Three” won four Emmys and an Annie, created the poster and title cards of the festival and will also be hosting a Master Class and screening of “The Book of Life.” Del Toro’s best animated feature Oscar for his “Pinocchio” this year could not be more fortuitous and timelier for the festival, Gutiérrez observes. Aside from a special screening of “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio,” the maestro will also be presiding over a master class. Reflecting on the rise of Mexican animation on the international stage, Del Toro says “Particularly in stop motion, Mexico has been working its way into the medium stronger and stronger. My partner Rigo Mora and myself started experimenting with stop motion formally in the 1980’s and that jolted the interest of the community in my home town of Guadalajara, Mexico. A very strong contingent of stop motion animators came from that and a decade or so later, a few groups started in Mexico City and Monterrey etc. and eventually started getting recognized in festivals around the world.” He points out that Marcel Delgado, a Mexican from Coahuila, was present at the genesis of modern stop motion, creating “King Kong” alongside Willis O’Brien. “I think this medium is natural to us – and allows films to be done with relatively smaller resources,” he says. Today, a number of animation companies in Mexico have been successful theatrically, led by Anima Studios and the Huevocartoons franchise, founded in 2001 by the Riva Palacio family and Carlos Zepeda. “Mexican film is better represented by dozens of brilliant animators participating in short films or lending their talents to films like Spiderverse,’ Pinocchio’ and productions at DreamWorks, Sony, Disney,” Del Toro says, pointing out that talents like Carlos Carrera even won the Palme d’Or in Cannes with his short film, “El Heroe.” “We’re now more of a service industry but we’re growing into a force to reckon with internationally,” notes Jaime Jimenez, VP of content and original production, kids & family for Warner Bros. Discovery Latin America WBD LatAm. “We have many animators working abroad but we hope more of them return to give back and share their expertise,” he adds. Annecy Festival Poster 2023 WBD LatAm is also presenting Lucha Libre 2D animated series “Rey Mysterio,” a co-production with Mexican studios ¡Viva Calavera! and Mighty, and hit series “Villainous,” among other projects, at Annecy. With more people working abroad, “we now have the first generation of experienced animation artists who are teaching at our schools,” Gutiérrez observes. Leading the vanguard of upcoming original feature films made entirely in Mexico is the much-anticipated stop motion pic, “Frankelda and the Prince of Spooks” a co-production between Cinema Fantasma and Cartoon Network, a WBD brand. A spin-off from the popular series “Frankelda’s Book of Spooks,” a few minutes of the feature will be shown at Annecy’s Works in Progress sidebar, says Pixelatl CEO Jose Iñesta, as will the new take on DC’s Dark Knight, “Aztec Batman Clash of Empires,” a collaboration involving WB Animation, Particular Crowd, Mexico’s Anima Studios and “Book of Life” producer Chatrone. “The animation industry has grown tremendously in Mexico, especially during the past few years,” notes Anima Studios’ Jose Carlos Garcia de Letona, who will be participating at a panel in Annecy. “What really sets us apart is the wealth of Mexican folklore and mythology that we can exploit in our stories,” he says, adding that Anima Studios has produced 24 animated features so far and runs studios in Mexico City and the Canary Islands. “By shedding light on the untapped heritage of Mexico, we are uncovering hidden treasures that offer profound insights into our country’s history, identity and the contributions of its Indigenous peoples,” says Jacobo Salomón, producer of a Mexican-Brazilian-French co-production in development, “The Mark of the Jaguar” trilogy, which has been selected to participate in Meet the Producers – Gap Financing day at Annecy. Part one of the 2-D animated trilogy, “The Mark of the Jaguar The Awakening of Fire,” centers on Aztec warriorXilacatzin, whose dark mark on his body makes his people reject him. Said director Victor Mayorga “I chose this theme because there is very little known about the latest findings in archeology and anthropology about the culture of our Indigenous peoples, even in their fight against the Spanish colonizers.” Meanwhile, Gutiérrez hopes to make his upcoming Netflix animated feature about a scrappy masked luchador dog, “I, Chihuahua,” in Mexico, with comedian Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias as producer, co-writer and lead voice talent. He has also been developing an adult-targeted series and a family series, which he also wants to make in Mexico. The country has the infrastructure for “I, Chihuahua’s” above-average budget, but perhaps not the experience, although having some scenes of “Pinocchio” made there has “opened the doors for more major productions,” he notes. “Annecy giving our country a big recognition was something vital that has been pursued and earned for years now and I, for one, am very thankful,” says Del Toro.BigBangsinger Seungri, who announced his exit from show business on March 11 amid a probe into procurement of prostitutes for his club customers, has been linked to a new scandal.
