Macanudo is getting an animated adaptation!
Mercury Filmworks and the Danish-French studio Sun Creature are working on an animated adaptation of the Argentine comic strip Macanudo, created by Liniers!
King Features will represent the series as they're already the worldwide distributor of the comic strip (they also represented The Cuphead Show!)
All the studios involved are aiming for a 2027-28 release and will present the series at Annecy next month 🙂
Macanudo isn't the only Argentinian comic to get an animated adaptation as Netflix announced in 2024 that they're producing an adaptation of Mafalda! Also, the Macanudo comics have been collected and published in the U.S. in a series of books by Fantagraphics :)
