Studio 100 Film to Bring Toxic—Miracle of the Jungle to Market

Studio 100 Film is set to launch worldwide sales for Tunche Films’ new CGI movie Toxic—Miracle of the Jungle.

Currently in development and slated for delivery in early 2027, the film follows the story of Dante, a small but extraordinary Amazonian dart frog with a special gift—when his skin comes in contact with clouds, he can generate rain.

The rare and mysterious ability makes him the subject of scientific study, until a test flight goes wrong and he is unexpectedly dropped into the depths of the jungle. There, he stumbles into a lively forest community of small animals and dreams of becoming one of them. His toxic nature, however, leads to fear and exclusion. When a forest fire threatens the existence of the jungle, only Dante can save it.

The film builds on the culturally rooted storytelling of Tunche Films’ 2021 movie Ainbo—Spirit of the Amazon, which grossed more than $13 million internationally.

Toxic—Miracle of the Jungle is being directed by José Zelada and César Zelada (Ainbo, Kayara, Searching for Hearts). It is based on an original idea by César, who co-wrote the screenplay alongside José. They both also executive produce, alongside their brother Sergio Zelada. The production design is led by Pierre Salazar (The LEGO Movie, Happy Feet, Walking with Dinosaurs).

Studio 100 Film will be introducing the film at Marche du Film, Cannes, with the official teaser and first concept art designs.

“With Toxic–Miracle of the Jungle, we want to tell a story that celebrates the power of nature and the courage it takes to embrace who you are,” César said. “Dante’s journey is deeply personal to us; it reflects the beauty and fragility of the Amazon, and the resilience that lives within it.”

“When I first heard about Toxic–Miracle of the Jungle, I fell in love with it right away due to its heartfelt and wildly entertaining adventure,” commented Lorena Booth, senior manager of sales and acquisitions at Studio 100 Film. “This movie follows its main character Dante—a little frog who never quite fits in—until he discovers that his unique gift might be the very thing that can save his world. With humor and heart, this story tackles themes of belonging, which everyone can relate to, alongside the urgent environmental message, while keeping audiences on the edge of their seats.”
