About Banzai Studio

Banzai Studio was founded in 2016 by the passion and vision of Marcos Vargas “Marmot” and Irais Guzmán “Titi”, driven by their desire to create original animated series. From the start, our focus has been on delivering the most original and high-quality visual development, using techniques and processes from industry giants like Pixar and DreamWorks. We specialize in creating unique narratives based on physical and situational comedy, as well as crafting characters that connect visually and emotionally with audiences.

In terms of production, since the pandemic, we’ve transitioned to remote collaboration with our team, though we also adapt to working in our physical offices depending on the scale of the project. We utilize a professional project management system with trained and certified producers who ensure organization, stick to budgets, and meet deadlines.

We’ve had the privilege of working with international clients such as Ford, Palmolive, Macmillan, MercadoLibre, Happy Line, and many more, consistently delivering results that exceed expectations. Our studio has also been selected to participate in prestigious festivals like Pixelatl, Ventana Sur, and Annecy, showcasing original projects that have captured the interest of producers worldwide.

We are proud to be a studio committed to changing the animation industry in Mexico. As members of the GRAM civil association, we strive to improve working conditions for animation professionals and productions, fostering dialogue with companies and the government to secure support for animated productions in Mexico.

Our expertise lies in 2D Cut Out animation, creative and visual development of animated series, and commercial illustration. With hundreds of animated minutes and numerous successful projects under our belt, we always aim to bring our unique style to life and deliver the very best for each project we take on.
