Chimiboga: Side B

"Chimiboga: Chimicompilado 2020" is a compilation video of animations created by Ayar Blasco until 2020. The film, released directly on YouTube, includes recurring characters such as Bugs Boni the rabbit, Don Luis and Disney Mouse.

Chimiboga is the delirious animated world proposed by Ayar B, director of "Mercano: El marciano" and his recent feature film "El sol", where great and absurd characters coexist, among which Don Luis and his children, the rabbit Bugs Buni and the Disnei Mouse. Here, in this Chimi-Film, released directly to DVD, all the animated shorts from the Chimiboga.com site are compiled, plus some rarities, and with this it aims, in turn, to entertain everyone with its deranged stories. Chimiboga is, then, pure bizarreness and lysergy. Yes, the definitive humorous compilation.

This film is based on one year in the filmmaker's fractured life. Rotoscoped figures are layered with stills and live video footage to create an open narrative based on events in his life that took place in 1975. He was 13 and this was a pivotal year for him in many ways. He discovered the magic of animation and was hooked. He made his first animated film with his best friend, they locked themselves away for the whole summer to complete it. 1975 was also the year that he had his first sexual experience, with said best friend. It was a time of great excitement, confusion, fear and withdrawal.
