After more than a year's worth of work, two Colombian companies have finished a short animated film and wish to share it with the world through a free online premiere.
Victeria and Globuleo is the retelling of Romeo and Juliet in 3D animation, and it makes their odds even harder since Victeria is a flu virus and Globuleo is a white blood cell: a most impossible love story would be hard to come by. Los Filmes Videocreation [1] and Vectorial Animation Studios [2], both companies located in Cali, Colombia and a team of additional Colombian talent [3]: animators, scriptwriters, singers, artists and producers came together to make this short movie happen and it is being released online for free today, December 4th.
Following is the trailer for the short [4]:
