History



The brand was founded in November 2001 by brothers Gabriel and Rodolfo Riva Palacio Alatriste, Carlos Zepeda Chehaibar, and Rodolfo Riva Palacio Velascoas, as an internet website dedicated to animation, originally called 'La Comunidad Huevo' (Spanish for 'The Egg Community'). The website was officially launched on 6 January 2002. Since then, the website gained 3 million visitors within the first three months of its launch, and at the end of 2004, it was visited 230,000 times daily. Tycoon Enterprises, a marketing investing company, invested in Huevocartoon within six months of the launch after gaining popularity. Hoping to expand into higher-budgeted projects, such as a film and a television series, the company partnered with several marketing companies, including Sabritas, Renault, and Telcel, to include the 'Huevos' characters and brands in their advertisements. Nonetheless, the marketing and licensing campaign helped the company's budget and plans for a film has moved on.
The company's first film, Una Película de Huevos (A Film of Eggs), was released in theaters in Mexico on 21 April 2006, becoming a major box-office hit, grossing $142.3 million pesos (est. US$7.6 million). The film later won the Ariel Award (Mexico's equivalent to the Academy Awards) in 2007 for 'Mejor largometraje de animación' ('Best Animated Feature Film').
The second film, Otra Película de Huevos y un Pollo (Another Film of Eggs and a Chicken), was released on 20 March 2009. Despite a weaker performance, it was another box-office success, grossing $113.5 million pesos.
Un gallo con muchos huevos was released in Mexico on 20 August 2015 where it was a major box-office success and holds the record as the highest-grossing Mexican animated film of all time. It grossed $167.8 million pesos (est. US$9 million). Despite being the third film in the franchise the film's 2 predecessors have no English subtitles or dubs and were never released outside Mexico. The film was also released in the United States on 4 September 2015, distributed by Pantelion Films, where it was a surprise box-office success. The release thrilled the filmmakers, to which co-director Gabriel Riva called it "a dream come true", as it had been their goal to release a film in the U.S. from the beginning of the company's foundation. Neither of its predecessors were released in the United States in any major format due to their controversial and edgy content, failing to match the humor code within the American animation film industry.
The company's fourth film, Marcianos vs. Mexicanos, was released on 9 March 2018. Unlike its past feature productions, Marcianos has an original concept and features an entirely human cast. Additionally, the film is aimed for an adult audience. The film features the voices of Adal Ramones, Martha Higareda, Omar Chaparro, Angélica Vale and Eduardo Manzano. However, unlike their previous films, it received negative reviews and was a box-office disappointment.
Un rescate de huevitos was released on 12 August 2021 in Mexico. The original voice cast reprised their roles as they're joined by newcomers including Jesús Ochoa, Mauricio Barrientos, Mara Escalante, Freddy Ortega, and Germán Ortega. It was later released in the United States on 27 August 2021 by Pantelion Films.
Huevitos congelados, the final film in the Huevos film series, was released on streaming as a Vix+ original. In addition to returning voice actors, new comers include Miguel Rodarte, Arath de la Torre, Mauricio Castillo, and Vadhir Derbez.
Rock Bottom (Kungo y las olimpiadas cavernícolas in Spanish) is currently in development in co-production with Spain's 3DoublesProductions, and will feature the voices of Rob Schneider and Gabriel Iglesias. It is expected to be completed by 2025.
Other upcoming films include horror-comedy Grimalkin, Aron Warner-produced Alebrijes, and a Huevos spin-off film focused on Confi.
