Perlimps is produced by São Paulo-based Buriti Filmes and co-produced by Sony Pictures International and Globo Filmes. The animation for the film was hand drawn by Abreu and a reduced team which spent four years in a mountain village in Brazil.
As the film’s assistant director Viviane Guimarães explains, “We created a studio and hired our own team to work on the film, but the animation itself was mostly done by Alê Abreu (Claé and Bruô scenes) and animator Sandro Cleuzo (John Ovenbird), with some additional animation by myself. Alê Abreu animated in Photoshop, Sandro Cleuzo in Toon Boom and me in TVPaint, so the software itself didn’t matter at this point.
