This animated short is now in production!
The Valiant Valencian is an animated 12-15 minute animated short. It tells the story of a random hero that could’ve changed the course of Spanish history. I say ‘could’ve’ because I believe it has a type of quality to it. I was intrigued by the origin story for the bat included on the emblem and flag of Valencia in Spain. Why is the bat included?
There are three main characters for the story: The bat, who is the hero. King James 1 and the narrator, Vicenté. The supporting cast would be Jame’s troops, the Moors tactical ambush group, and the Valencian crowd in the end scene.
