Inspector Sun director Julio Soto Gúrpide discusses animation and mystery movie influences, Ronnie Chieng, and his long time love of insects.
Summary Inspector Sun and the Curse of the Black Widow is an animated noir mystery set in 1934. When Inspector Sun, a brilliant huntsman spider, boards a plane on his way to vacation, things take an unexpected turn when an enigmatic millionaire's life is threatened. Inspector Sun will take on the case as he parses through a web of lies to discover the culprit.
I also love the way that you handle the insect species in this, because they're very true to the species that they're based around. The ants will be doing the ant things, you know what I mean? I thought that was really cool. Now, this film draws from Hollywood's Golden Age with the detective and noir stories.
Right. Now, as far as the animation, this film seems very distinct and visually captivating. The animation is beautiful in this movie. Can you discuss the artistic choice to bringing this unique world to life? Julio Soto Gurpide: Sure. A lot of people get very surprised when you tell them, like 165 people I think worked on this movie for a number of years. And they're like, "Wow, really, is it that complicated to make an animated movie?" Yes, it takes a lot of talent, a lot of people, with different voices, different ways of doing things. To actually put all of that together into one direction, which is the movie. There's a lot of egos, a lot of different opinions.
