Chico and Rita
2010 animated film directed by Fernando Trueba, Javier Mariscal and Tono Errando
Chico and Rita is a 2010 Spanish-British adult animated music romantic film with Spanish and English languages directed by Tono Errando, Fernando Trueba and Javier Mariscal. The story of Chico and Rita is set against backdrops of Havana, New York City, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Paris in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Chico is a young piano player with big dreams. Rita is a beautiful singer with an extraordinary voice. Music and romantic desire unite them, but their journey—in the tradition of the Latin ballad, the bolero—brings heartache and torment.
- Directed by Tono Errando, Fernando Trueba and Javier Mariscal. Produced by Santi Errando, Cristina Huete, Michael Rose and Martin Pope. Screenplay and story by Fernando Trueba and Ignacio Martínez de Pisón.
