Germany’s Studio 100 To Launch CGI Animated Flick ‘Toxic – Miracle of the Jungle’ At Cannes Market ​on April 9, 2025 at 9:00 am

EXCLUSIVE: Munich-based sales company Studio 100 Film will launch Toxic – Miracle of the Jungle, a CGI animated feature, at the upcoming Cannes Market. 

The film is currently in development and slated for delivery in early 2027.

The film follows the story of Dante, a small yet extraordinary Amazonian dart frog with a powerful gift: when in contact with clouds, his skin can generate rain. This rare and mysterious ability makes him the subject of scientific study—until a test flight goes awry and Dante is unexpectedly dropped into the depths of the jungle. There, he stumbles upon a lively forest community of small animals and dreams of becoming one of them. But his toxic nature leads to fear and exclusion. When a fierce forest fire threatens the very existence of the jungle, only Dante holds the key to salvation. 

Directed by José Zelada and Cesar Zelada (Ainbo), the project is based on an original idea by César Zelada, who also co-wrote the screenplay alongside Zelada. Executive Producers are Sergio, José, and César Zelada. Production design is led by acclaimed visual artist Pierre Salazar (The Lego Movie). Producers are Tunche Films. 

“With Toxic – Miracle of the Jungle, we want to tell a story that celebrates the power of nature and the courage it takes to embrace who you are,” César Zelada said. “Dante’s journey is deeply personal to us – it reflects the beauty and fragility of the Amazon, and the resilience that lives within it.”
