Logline

CONEJ STEPS OUT

Space tourism is in vogue — not only with aloof billionaires, but apparently also with rabbits. In this charmingly retro cartoon musical, Conej builds a spaceship for his girlfriend, Claire. The other animals who inhabit their surreal cartoon universe diligently assist them, while dancing and making music as is typical of the genre. But what if Conej’s beloved doesn’t want the gift? “To all the young in spirit out there, this picture is for you.”



  • Duration: 7 min.

CONEJ STEPS OUT

Pablo Río

Pablos Río’s fascination with animated films began in childhood with the Disney classics. Since then, he couldn’t think of anything else, which naturally led him to pursue a career in animation. After attending DigiPen Bilbao, Pablo now aims to revive the spirit of the master animators of the ’30s and ’40s who elevated this medium to an art form, and resurrect this forgotten chapter of history.
