Backed by the Ministry of Cultures and the strategic support of ProChile, the Chilean audiovisual sector lands at MIPJunior 2026 with a targeted slate of animation and youth-focused programming, aiming to break into global kids’ entertainment markets.
Leading the animation showcase is Hera Management, which arrives at the market with two distinct series. Dani explica la ficción (Dani´s Fiction Rules), directed by Coty Luzoro, is a 15-episode animated comedy (six minutes per episode) currently in pre-production and seeking financing. The highly imaginative series follows a 12-year-old girl and her cat as they explore storytelling tools and face fun challenges alongside unique guests.
In a co-production with fellow Chilean company Pataka, Hera Management is also presenting Boca sucia (Potty Mouth). Directed by Sergio Pavez, this 13-episode (11 minutes each) series revolves around a boy grappling with a curse that transforms his mouth into a toilet whenever he uses foul language. Already in the distribution phase, the producers are actively aiming to close deals with international streaming platforms.
Rounding out the country’s animated and short-form offerings is La Torre de Babel (The Tower of Babel) from Praxia Producciones. Directed by Samuel Restucci Sánchez-Zinny, this adventure comedy consists of 35 micro-episodes of 1.5 minutes each. Set in a cigar factory under a totalitarian regime, the story follows a marked child who must carry the burden of being the chosen one destined to free the tower. The project arrives at the market in pre-production to secure international financing.
