Botivo.
The yellow hour.
Botivo is a British non-alcoholic aperitivo with a world of its own: bright yellow and hand-drawn. In autumn 2025 the brand asked for short animated films that bring its illustrated characters to life for social.

Small stories.
No dialogue.
Each film is a small story set in Botivo’s yellow world. There is no dialogue. The pictures, the music and the movement do the work.
The brief asked for films that feel like the brand’s illustrations had simply started to move.
Their drawings,
moving.
Botivo supplied its own black-and-white character artwork. We animated from those drawings, so the line and the look stay Botivo’s.
The films were cut in Premiere and delivered for the feed and for widescreen.
Keep watching.
