With an eye in the global market for animation, which exceeds U.S. $ 128 billion annually, Brazilian producers and studios are starting to prepare their internationalization.
A success case
The animation Rio topped the weekend box office of Pixar classics like Toy Story and A Bug’s Life , according to figures from Box Office Mojo . Most watched film in the United States in the last two weeks and most watched in Brazil in 2011, with 4.2 million viewers, Rio puts in evidence the successful international career of Brazilian director Carlos Saldanha ( Ice Age 3 ).
Playing in a different league
The plan is to export stories with universal appeal and with characters, sound tracks and scenarios acceptable in many cultures.
“The creative capacity of Brazil is enormous, but there was a lack of international entrepreneurial spirit. Now, we begin to see more initiatives,” said Marcos Magalhaes, filmmaker and professor at PUC-RJ on an interview to Jornal Folha de São Paulo. The ability to succeed in the international market goes beyond the universal content. It involves competition with companies such as American-Dreamworks “Shrek” and “Madagascar” – and Pixar’s “Toy Sory,” “Cars” and “Finding Nemo.” Distribution in theaters and home video are not easy tasks as well.
The export strategy
One example of the new formula “type export animation” comes from Mauricio de Sousa Digital Productions (MSDP). Sousa is the creator of “Monica”, a comic character that made it to Brazilian TV. With $ 15 million in joint investment, the company begins to create the first animation project with international ambitions.
Anima Mundi
A good opportunity to check the Brazilian animation is coming up in the next months. Brazil is home to the third-largest animation festival in the world – the Anima Mundi, which is second only to Canada and France. The 19th edition of Anima Mundi – International Animation Festival of Brazil -will take place in July 2011.

Dear Albert,
Thank you for your contact. We do not directly trade iron. What I can do, is help you find the right partners in Brazil. Or you can contact Vale directly, for example. Where are you located?
best wishes,

Com o Brasil atingindo niveis internacionais de qualidade em produção de animações, acredito ser o momento adequado para explorar as inumeras fontes originais do Brasil para novas produções.
Por exemplo as obras do fantastico Monteiro Lobato que sempre lamentei que meus filhos, por terem nascidos e estarem crescendo no exterior, nunca tiveram a oportunidade de disfrutar como eu tive.
Em criança eu devorava cada volume dêsse grande criador e, se podem imaginar as possibilidades de um primeiro desenho sobre o Sitio do Pica-Pau Amarelo, para dar a conhecer os personagens e circunstâncias, depois o “Sitio 2”, com “Os 12 Trabalhos de Hercules” (quem sabe um longuissima metragem ou pano para o “Sitio 3” e dai por diante.
Somente com Monteiro Lobato existiria agumento para varios filmes, sem falar das lendas do Amazonas, do Sul e muitas outras.
Não podemos esquecer que os Estados Unidos se fizeram atrativos através de, principalmente, filmes dos anos 40, 50 e 60. Por que não usar essa mesma estratégia com o Brasil, particularmente agora que conquistou credibilidade no mercado internacional.
