Quati

A little character. A lot of life.

Watch the film

An original character, a countryside world and a complete production built around 3D character animation.

01 / Character design

Personality, on paper.

Silhouette, expression and costume. A clear visual starting point for the whole production.

Quati is a HUUDA Original, rooted in the warmth and charm of the Brazilian countryside. A straw hat, blue overalls and a little bird companion give the character a world before the first frame moves.
