“For La Mancha!!” Dazzler Media in the UK has debuted their official trailer for an animated movie called Giants of La Mancha, made by Argentinian VFX artist Gonzalo Gutierrez as his feature directorial debut. This was already released last year also under the titles Gigantes and/or Storm Crashers, but La Mancha provides a better hook. This trailer is for the UK release but since we never posted anything last year for the US release, why not catch up with it now. The story follows 11-year-old Alfonso, heir to Don Quixote, and his three imaginary rabbits, who are also joined by Pancho and Victoria. With their power of friendship, they save their beloved hometown La Mancha from a huge storm. They dream the impossible dream, overcome their fears, and use their imagination to find the real force behind the storm. So this is a mash-up between Don Quixote and Twisters? 🌪 Wild. Featuring the voices of Facundo Reyes, Marina Blanke, & Julian Janssen. This looks like a really bad direct-to-VHS movie, but that’s also what makes it so ridiculously fun. Wait – why is there a giant mechanical spider in this? Did they borrow this from Wild Wild West? Hilarious.
Here’s the official trailer (+ posters) for Gonzalo Gutierrez’s Giants of La Mancha, direct from YouTube:
Alfonso Quixote is an 11-year-old boy with a big imagination. As the rightful descendant & legitimate heir to Don Quixote and just like his great, great, great, great, grand-father, he’s constantly protecting his town in La Mancha from monsters, which no one else can see. Giants of La Mancha is an extraordinary & adventurous journey for the whole family, following 11-year-old Alfonso, heir to Don Quixote, and his 3 imaginary rabbits, who are joined by Pancho and Victoria. With their power of friendship, they save their beloved hometown of La Mancha from a huge storm. They dream the impossible dream, overcome their fears, and use their imagination to find the real force behind the storm. Giants of La Mancha, also known as Storm Crashers, is directed by Argentinian filmmaker Gonzalo Gutierrez (aka “G.G.”), making his feature directorial debut after years working as a visual effects supervisor at his own company GG VFX. The script is by Carlos Kotkin & Pablo Biondi, and Gonzalo Gutierrez. Produced by María Florencia Lemoine, Dominique Schuchmann, Thorsten Wegener, and Gutierrez. This already opened in most of Europe in 2024. Dazzler will release Giants of La Mancha in UK cinemas starting on March 7th, 2025. Anyone interested?
