Homies

In an exciting collaboration, 52 Animation Studio partnered with American cartoonist and designer David Gonzales to animate his iconic "Homies" characters. Our team transformed these emblematic figures of Chicano culture into a vibrant animation that celebrates and preserves this rich heritage.​

The "Homies" originated in the late 1990s as collectible figurines inspired by Gonzales's friends and characters from Californian Mexican-American communities. Each figure tells a unique story, reflecting the diversity and authenticity of the Chicano experience. Their widespread popularity led to over 120 million units sold worldwide.​

At 52 Animation Studio, we meticulously adapted these characters into animation, ensuring fidelity to their original designs and narratives. Our work encompassed script development, character design, and crafting environments that authentically depict the urban settings of the "Homies" universe.​

This project exemplifies our commitment to collaborating with visionary artists like David Gonzales to create culturally resonant content that entertains, educates, and inspires audiences globally.
