XOLO

About This Movie

XOLO is a fascinating exploration of friendship framed within the vibrant brushstrokes of Mexican muralism. The animation style is particularly striking, as they’ve crafted each background by hand on canvas, which gives it a unique texture and warmth. It's quite a labor of love, using oil paint on paper for over 2,000 frames. You really feel the artisanal effort that went into every scene. The pacing has a gentle flow, inviting you to soak in its rich visuals. While the storyline revolves around Jorge and Rogelio’s bond, it also subtly touches on cultural themes, painting a broader picture of connection and the essence of companionship. It’s really something different in the animation landscape.
