Mundoloco CGI

Mundoloco CGI is an independent animation and digital intellectual-property studio based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Its origins date to 2007, when writer and producer Gastón Gorali established Catmandu Branded Entertainment; the business evolved into Mundoloco CGI around 2013 during the production of Metegol. The studio also appears in screen credits and promotional material as Mundoloco Animation Studios.

The company develops and produces animation for feature films, television, streaming and short-form projects. Its work spans full-pipeline 3D CGI and hybrid 2D/3D production, from story development, scriptwriting and showrunning through character design, modeling, rigging, lighting, compositing, editorial and visual-effects supervision. It also develops pipeline software and tools and incubates properties for publishing, transmedia and merchandise adaptation.

Screen work and franchises

Mundoloco’s debut feature, Metegol—released internationally as Underdogs and Futbolín—helped establish the studio’s feature-animation profile. The company subsequently expanded into episodic and cross-platform work, including the preschool music franchise Mini Beat Power Rockers, the Metegol spin-off Underdogs United, and TriviaTopia, based on Etermax’s Trivia Crack.

Its credits also include Ian, una historia que nos movilizará (Ian, A Moving Story), an animated short made with Fundación Ian about inclusion for children with disabilities. Current and announced work includes a 3D CGI animated adaptation of Quino’s Mafalda for Netflix, directed and showrun by co-founder Juan José Campanella and slated for a 2027 global premiere, as well as the developing feature Escape to India and preschool series Gloria Wants to Know It All.

Creative focus

The studio’s output centres on original character-driven entertainment, particularly children’s and family IP, while also serving film, television, streaming, publishing and branded-content markets. Its production model combines creative development with in-house animation, technical direction and digital-production capabilities, supporting projects from concept through finished screen work.
