With animation becoming the premier form of entertainment in the quarantine era, many new and creative ideas have been given the greenlight! Some projects that have been in development for a long time have also had the necessary time given to them so that fans will finally be able to enjoy them.
One project that has taken around two years to bring to life was AINBO: Spirit of the Amazon, a CG animated film developed by multiple Dutch and Peruvian companies. The film tells the story of a young girl who finds her home threatened by those who wish to exploit the Amazon's resources by mining.
The project has been something that the creators have been working hard on, even with the rules set in place due to the pandemic, and fans have been allowed to see what they have been working on, in a brief teaser. As of now, the video won't play directly on the page but clicking it will redirect to Vimeo where it can be viewed!
While the film won't release until next year, there is still a lot of effort that can be felt in the world so far. Make sure to check out the new teaser, and don't forget to share your thoughts in the comments!
The film, set in the deepest rainforests of the Amazon, is about a girl named Ainbo who is born and grows up in the village of Candámo. One day, she discovers that her homeland is being threatened and realizes that there are other humans in the world besides her people. As she fights to save her paradise against illegal mining and the exploitation of her homeland, she embarks on a quest to reverse this destruction and stifle the impending evil of the Yakuruna, the darkness that lives in the hearts of greedy people. Guided by her mother’s spirit, Ainbo is determined to save her land and save her people before it is too late.
AINBO: Spirit of the Amazon plans to release in mid-2021!
