Little Nightmares – Broken Promises, the stop-motion animated short film teased at the Little Nightmares Showcase Event last June, has been officially selected for the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in the Commissioned Films category and will be showcased during the festival.
Created in collaboration with the International Animation Center Taller del Chucho at the University of Guadalajara – a renowned Mexican stop‑motion studio founded by Guillermo del Toro – the short film reconnects with the original inspirations behind the award-winning Little Nightmares franchise. It embraces a handcrafted stop-motion aesthetic that deepens the series’ charmingly eerie atmosphere.
The short film is directed by Sofía Carillo and Juan Medina. Sofía Carillo is known for Cerulia (2017), the animated short film she directed, animated and wrote, which has received more than 20 international awards. Juan Medina, winner of five Arieles from the Mexican Academy of Arts and Film Sciences between 2013 to 2015, is recognized for the short film Tío (2021) and the feature film Salma’s Big Wish (2012).
Broken Promisesfollows a neglected girl, locked in an attic, who escapes into a dollhouse world full of promises. As she ventures deeper, she begins to uncover the sinister truth lurking beneath its charming facade, a world where every shadow may hide a monster.
