Vanish - "The Bully Monster"
At LOBO, we believe animation has a unique power—it can make complex topics more approachable while still packing an emotional punch. When BETC HAVAS and Vanish approached us with this meaningful project about bullying, we knew we had to handle it with care. From script to final frame, our goal was to bring sensitivity and impact to the story, making each moment a call for reflection. Back-to-school season is a time of fresh starts, and we wanted this film to spark important conversations for kids and families.By combining thoughtful storytelling with the expressive potential of animation, we crafted a film that speaks to the heart—because some stories need to be told in just the right way.
LOBO IS A CREATIVE DESIGN STUDIO BASED IN SÃO PAULO & NEW YORK
We are Lobo, a creative studio dedicated to moving images. Our expertise covers a broad range of media and techniques, like 2D animation, stop motion, 3D, VFX and live action. Grounded in state-of-the-art facilities and an experienced team of directors, our studio is ready to turn your stories into films.
Founded in 1994 by Nando Cohen and Mateus de Paula Santos while they were still in college, Lobo immediately stood out for its bold style and innovative visual language. We soon grew into one of the major players among the top ad agencies, TV networks and film studios in Brazil. It wasn’t long before we expanded our structure to cater to markets all across Latin America, Europe and the USA, raking in plenty of awards along the way from institutions like D&AD, The One Show, Cannes Lions and the Art Directors Club, to name just a few.
To make our North American ties even stronger we opened a satellite office in NYC under the Creative Direction of Guilherme Marcondes, a member of the original Lobo roster who is now back into the fold after a successful solo run in the US that included work for clients such as British Gas, Google, Hyundai, Audi and Pepsi.
