Toto "Casino"
Case Study

Behind the Scenes

The giant green gorilla Toto has danced in three different films, all made in collaboration with our artists, director Matthijs Van Heijningen, the Vidiboko agency and the Bonkers production.

In this making-of, our artists show you how they created Toto and his wide smile. The skeleton, the muscles, the skin, the fur and more - all details are important to allow the viewer to be charmed by the character. The images speak for themselves.
