Brasil Animado is a 2011 Brazilian animated comedy film directed by Mariana Caltabiano. The film is based on As Aventuras de Gui & Estopa, an animated series created by Caltabiano.
The movie combines the use of live action and traditional animation, a technique used in films like Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Space Jam. This is the first Brazilian movie completely produced with 3D technology.[4]
A couple of dogs called Stress and Relax leave in search for the Cariniana legalis, the oldest tree of Brazil.[5] They are not sure what city the tree is. While Relax thinks only about having fun and get to know the culture of different parts of Brazil, Stress becomes increasingly eager to find the tree as he hopes to get rich selling souvenirs of it.
Filming took place between October 31, 2009 and December 3, 2010. Part of the animation was produced by Mariana Caltabiano Criações and TeleImage, while the live-action was recorded in the studios of Globo Filmes. The footage was shot in Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, São Paulo, Foz do Iguaçu, Ouro Preto, Gramado, Brasília, Florianópolis and other cities.[6]
