The Brazilian team of prodco The Youth and animation studio Colossal (who were both behind this Doritos insanity) return with a wave of character chaos in this film for Havaianas and their ubiquitous flip-flop sandals.

From the team at The Youth: “There are few things in the world that can translate so many meanings without a word. Havaianas sandals are on this short list for sure. Trying to translate everything that is not said about the brand/product is the challenge that brought all these images, textures, and movements out of our heads.

“Each character in the film carries inside it a whole universe of references. They are a way to humanize music, art movements, famous personalities, and all the elements around the term brasilidade. We tried to create a group of personas with the attitude, humor, and situations that any Brazillian can identify with.

“The mix of languages, different textures, the shapes that are constantly changing, adapting – everything comes from the challenge to translate a feeling that is not in the dictionary.

“We wanted people who watch the film to feel the product somehow. Make it tangible. We couldn’t limit ourselves to just one illustration style, so we embraced the metamorphosis that happens when putting so many feelings into a piece of work.”
