Emilio Mayorga. “Elcano” traces the adventures of Portugal’s Fernando Magellan and Basque Juan Sebastián Elcano, the historical navigators responsible for the first circumnavigation of the Earth, completed in 1522. Magellan started the three-year journey, but Elcano was the one to conclude it.
“It seems an adventure movie rather than an episode out of history. It’s targets children in particular, offering a great diversity of landscapes and cultures –the whole world,” Ricardo Ramón, a producer at Dibulitoon, told Variety.
“It’s one of those movies that parents feel very pleased about, because in addition to pure entertainment there’s an unquestionable educative element,” added Iván Diaz, head of Filmax International.
“Elcano” will be the second animation feature of Ángel Alonso (“The Thief of Dreams”). The script was penned by Garbiñe Losada and José Antonio Vitoria.
The movie’s release is planned for 2019, to coincide with the 500th anniversary of the start of Elcano and Magellan’s circumnavigation.
