In 2017 we released the first episode of Luli and Gabo, Vivir es Increíble. Mexican insurance brand GNP tasked us with creating an animated web series aimed at preventing young children from having accidents at home. Four years, 15 episodes and 120 million views later, Luli and Gabo keep on living new adventures, not only in their series, but also on board games, stuffed toys and they even have their own app. We are currently in the planning stages of their first feature film.
