Don Quixote’s Heir Takes Center Stage in Studio 100 Film

LOS ANGELES: At this year’s AFM, Studio 100 Film is showcasing the new CGI-animated movie Quixote’s—The Heirs of La Mancha, about Alfonso, the 11-year-old heir of the iconic literary character Don Quixote.

Quixote’s will follow Alfonso, along with his three imaginary friends and musical rabbits, as they join Pancho and Victoria to save La Mancha from a dangerous storm. Along the way, Alfonso learns about the power of friendship, falls in love and gets his father back. The GG VFX production, which comes from screenwriter Carlos Kotkin (Rio 2), is slated for delivery in 2018.

Patrick Elmendorff, the CEO of Studio 100 Media, remarked: “We are delighted to present this new feature film at AFM. The story promises an exciting adventure for kids and families alike. The tale of Don Quixote has captured audiences for more than 400 years and to this day its fascination is still unbroken. This new interpretation of the topic into a thrilling children’s adventure will continue the success story of a masterpiece.”

Gonzalo Gutierrez, the director of Quixote’s, added: “Our film aims to give a different, fresh and youthful tone to the already world-famous literary masterpiece written by Cervantes, with an aesthetics that seeks to differentiate itself from the one in standard animated films today. The film uses humor to convey Don Quixote’s values and captivate the whole family through shared laughter.”
