CHUCHEL VS. Snowman | #10

CHUCHEL - Lukas [amanita design]

♫ Do you want to build a snowman? ♫

Of course you do. I mean, who doesn't?

As you've probably figured out, Chuchel is a very playful being and a rather unlucky one. It's not easy to get hurt while building a snowman, as long as you're not a cute ball of mess...

IT'S ALIVE!

There you go. It's time to go outside and build your own Snowchel! If that's what you're actually going to do, please send us a photo of your amazing creation. We'll make it famous! Well, at least on our social media channels.

Also, hey, Christmas is coming. We've got some lovely festive stuff coming up next Monday (new video!!), but to those of you who celebrate on 24th...

❤ CHERRY CHUCHELMAS! ❤

CHUCHEL: The Pre-History

CHUCHEL - Lukas [amanita design]

Hey Folks!

I know you're used to silly GIFs, but this time I've got a little secret worth sharing with you!

It's always exciting to learn about the origins of certain worlds and characters. That's why I've been going through dozens of old sketches and designs that were created in the early stages of CHUCHEL's development, but then I actually stumbled upon something even more interesting...

Just look at this picture!

This isn't Chuchel, no. But it kinda looks like him. The eyes, short limbs, that silly curl and missing teeth - all of the key features are there. I just had to ask Jaromir Plachy, the creator of Botanicula and CHUCHEL to find out where this creature comes from. Here's what he had to say:

"I found this in the deepest abyss of my computer. These are character designs for a non-existent animated series that was supposed to be set in a forest and a pub. They are suspiciously reminiscent of Chuchel... He's probably been in my head for some time and needed to make his way out. "

This picture comes from the time when Jaromir was working on his first full-length game Botanicula which came out in April 2012. That makes it more presumably more than 6 years old.

Pretty cool, huh? Makes you wonder how many characters are still hiding in Jaromir's fantastic mind. Seems like there's a lot to look forward to!

Let us know if you would be interested in more of these insights! There are quite a few stories to tell...

CHUCHEL VS. Tree | #9

CHUCHEL - Lukas

Sorry for the delay! (^_^;)

That's just what I was hearing for the past 2 days. Being stuck in Amsterdam on my trip from this year's Fun & Serious Festival in Bilbao because of heavy snowing, I felt miserable for being unable to provide you with the regular Monday dose of GIF goodness. My sincerest apologies!

Anyway, Chuchel is finally back home in great shape and ready to make you grin once again. This time his enemy opponent is very hard. Literally.

What would you do?

[1] cut down the tree
[2] climb the tree
[3] go away and drown in tears

How did that elusive cherry end up on that tree? That's something you're going to find out in CHUCHEL quite soon!

CHUCHEL VS. Cookie | #8

CHUCHEL - Lukas

Happy National Cookie Day!

The world already knows about Chuchel's unmatched passion for cherries, but he loves all sorts of... consumables. Like a true gourmet, he's eager to feast on frogs, carps, paintings and stuff you've never even heard of.

All of this ridiculous food snobbery fades away on December 4th.

Don't forget to eat a cookie!

How many cookies can YOU eat in 60 seconds?!
