A co-production between <strong>Studio 100 International<\/strong> and <strong>Mexico\u2019s<\/strong> <strong>Lunch Films<\/strong>, the movie blends the spooky charm of Halloween with the vibrant spirit of D\u00eda de los Muertos and follows two unlikely young heroes on their journey to bridge a centuries-old divide.<\/p>\n<p>When the candies of the rival towns, Halloween Ville and Day of the Dead Town, mysteriously vanish before their most important festivities, the celebrations are suddenly in danger. The fate of both villages rests in the hands of <strong>Pumpkid<\/strong> and <strong>Bony Lu<\/strong>, who join forces with a quirky group of friends to save the holidays and reunite their communities. More than a tale of rivalry, this heartwarming story weaves fantasy and humor against the backdrop of magical landscapes, exploring universal themes of friendship, family, courage, and self-discovery.<\/p>\n<p>Written and directed by <strong>Celso Garc\u00eda<\/strong> (<i>The Thin Yellow Line<\/i>, <i>The Great Seduction), <\/i>the film brings together executive producers Martin Krieger (Studio 100 International) and Axel Vielma and Fernando Estrada (Lunch Films), with Thorsten Wegener, Celso Garc\u00eda and Gerry Cardoso as producers. The result is a story that proves great hearts and the strength of friendship can outshine even centuries of old adversities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorking with Studio 100 International to bring <i><strong>Halloween vs Day of the Dead<\/strong> <\/i>to life is an exciting opportunity to share a story we hold close to our hearts. Together, we\u2019re creating a vibrant, heartfelt film that honors both traditions while telling a timeless tale of friendship, unity and hope. We believe audiences everywhere will connect with the journey of these two children from rival villages.\u201d says <strong>Celso Garc\u00eda, Founder, Lunch Films.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Producer Gerry Cardoso<\/strong> adds: \u201cWe wanted to create a film that\u2019s not only fun and full of adventure but also celebrates the heart of Mexican culture. It\u2019s a playful clash of two iconic traditions, told through a story that\u2019s emotional and deeply rooted in family and identity. We hope audiences around the world will laugh, be moved and walk away with a greater appreciation for the beauty, spirit and meaning behind D\u00eda de los Muertos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrowing up Mexican in New York, I looked forward to twice as many sweets and double the ghosts. Halloween and D\u00eda de los Muertos were both part of my life, so when this project came along, it ultimately felt like home. After two years of spirited &#8211; and occasionally spooky &#8211; talks, I\u2019m thrilled we\u2019re kicking off development and sharing it at the film market!\u201d, says <strong>Lorena Booth, Senior Manager Sales &amp; Acquisition of Studio 100 Film.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Studio 100 International<\/strong> and <strong>Lunch Films<\/strong> are creating an animated feature that resonates across cultures while delivering a universal message about connection and understanding.
