About Immagini Animation Studios
Immagini Animation Studios is an independent Brazilian animation production company founded in 2008 and based in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. It develops original intellectual property and produces 2D and 3D animated content for cinema, television and streaming platforms, with a particular focus on children and family audiences. Its work spans feature films, series, shorts and audiovisual production services.
The studio supports projects from their initial creative development through finished production. Its capabilities include scriptwriting, IP bible creation, concept art, character design, visual development, storyboarding and animatics. Production services encompass traditional hand-drawn and digital cut-out animation, character rigging, 3D modeling and animation, lighting, visual effects, compositing and post-production. Alongside its own productions, Immagini undertakes international co-productions and contracted production work.
Films and series
A major milestone was Chef Jack: O Cozinheiro Aventureiro (Chef Jack: The Adventurous Cook, 2023), directed by Guilherme Fiuza Zenha. The production became the first animated feature film produced in Minas Gerais. Sony Pictures Brazil and Cineart Filmes handled its Brazilian theatrical distribution, and the film subsequently reached streaming audiences across Latin America and distribution markets in Europe and Asia.
The studio's broader catalogue includes the 3D television series Salve-me Quem Puder! and A Zeropeia (2019), a musical adaptation of a book by Herbert de Souza, known as Betinho. Its shorter productions include Mina e Elvira (2022) and the non-verbal slapstick comedy Saru & Anta (2023).
Immagini also works with other Brazilian producers on television animation, including Cosmo, o Cosmonauta (2024) and A Liga do Atol (2025). As of the November 2026 research, its development and production slate included Caju & Malu, a planned 26-episode animated series. Beyond animation, its reported service work includes visual effects for the British documentary TT3D: Closer to the Edge (2011).
