In the immensity of the jungle, staying alive another day is not an easy task, especially if you are a tiny, nervous, clumsy and defenseless lizard like Chase. Everything pricks, cuts and tears, everything is deadly, but Chase is the most stubborn, obsessive and tenacious reptile this side of the tropics, and he will not give up until he does the impossible to survive… “Chase” is a tribute to classic cartoons in which it was not necessary to use words to express emotions or actions, such as “Coyote and the Road Runner”. Developed with 2D digital techniques and with the integration of some 3D elements, the story is framed in exotic natural enviroments with numerous extinct animals, in an indeterminate time and place. Chase, our lizard, is pure kinetic energy, pure will to keep going. We are all Chase!
