Nahuel and the Magic Book is a 2020 Spanish-language animated fantasy-adventure coming-of-age film produced by Carburadores, co-produced by Chilean Punkrobot Studios and Brazilian Levante Films and directed by Germán Acuña Delgadillo. This is the first animated feature that was made in Chile in collaboration with Brazil as well as the first Chilean-Brazilian 2D animated film that entered the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in Annecy, France on June 15, 2020 and in Chile on January 20, 2022.

Production

The film production started in 2015 with the help of the Brazilian animation studio Levante Filmes and, later on, other Chilean animation studios like Punkrobot Studio (which created and produced the Oscar award-winning short film Bear Story), Red Animation Studios, Dragao Animation Studios, LMS Animation Studios and Draftoons Studios

The CEOs of Punkrobot and Levante Films, Patricio Escala and Sabrina Bogado, helped Acuña and his team to make the film quickly due to their funds.

The co-founder of Carburadores and the executive director from Levante Films, Sebastian Ruz and Livia Pagano, were the producers of the film, who were in charge of hiring animators, sound producers, editors, financiers, and sales agents.

The writer of the script in the film were Germán Acuña and Juan Pablo Sepúlveda which they wrote together after his research back in 2012, when he was on the island of Chiloé.

The music composers were Acuña, Felicia Morales, and Christopher Carvajal and the sound designers were Marcelo Vidal and Leonardo Guimaraes. They used the software device called Alcateia Digital to create sounds for the scenes. Marcelo Jara was the editor of the film.
