Story of the Eggs
The movie is about a brave little egg named Toto. He doesn't want to end up as breakfast! Instead, he dreams of becoming a proud rooster. So, Toto starts an exciting journey to find his way back to the farms.
Along the way, he meets some funny friends. There's Willy, a noisy egg who becomes Toto's loyal companion. They also team up with Stripe, a crazy piece of bacon. Together, this unlikely trio faces many challenges on their quest to reach the farm and help Toto achieve his dream.
Meet the Characters!
Here are some of the main characters you'll meet in Una Película de Huevos:
- Bruno Bichir as Toto: He's a young chicken egg, only three days old, who was taken from his mom. Toto can be a bit stubborn, but he's also very kind and caring. He even has feathers that look like hair!
- Carlos Espejel as Willy: This four-day-old chicken egg is a sergeant in the egg army. He used to be a lookout in the egg carton. Willy wants to be a rooster like Toto, but then he meets Bibi and decides to follow his own path. He wears a green army helmet and a belt.
- Angélica Vale as Bibi: Bibi is a circus egg who performs at a carnival. She's a bit spoiled but very charming. She has long, curly brown hair and wears a blue cape with star decorations. Bibi has two brothers, Bebe and Bubi.
- Miguel Guerrero as Tocino (Bacon): Toto and Willy find Tocino on the kitchen floor. He's a useful friend because he's stretchy and greasy! Tocino doesn't speak, but he uses movements to show what he's thinking. He doesn't wear clothes, but his feet look like shoes.
- Rodolfo Riva Palacio Alatriste as Coco: Coco is a crocodile egg and the leader of a group of reptile eggs. His dad sent him to stop the chicken eggs, but Coco mostly dreams of becoming a famous actor. He has big arms and a cool Elvis Presley-style haircut. Rodolfo also voices Iguano, a large but not-so-smart iguana egg, and other characters like Cuache (a rat) and Hue Bond.
- Gabriel Riva Palacio Alatriste as Confi: Confi is a Cascarón egg, which is a type of confetti egg. He's like a spiritual guide for other eggs and leads them in funny speeches. He runs a night club behind the amusement park. Confi is painted in bright colors. Gabriel also voices Serp, a quick-tempered rattlesnake egg, and Torti, a slow tortoise egg with strong jaws.
- Humberto Vélez as Huevo de chocolate (Chocolate egg) a.k.a. Huevay "El Segundo": This chocolate egg got lost in a sofa for a whole year! He wears what looks like golden pants.
- Blas García as Huevo Líder (Egg Leader): He's the general of the kitchen's egg army. He loves to recruit new eggs, even if they're not interested. He has trouble hearing and speaks with a German accent. He's the only egg with a mustache and wears a general's army hat.
- Enzo Fortuny as Bebe and Mario Filio as Bubi: These are Bibi's brothers. They perform a juggling act with her. Even though they look like kids, they are very mature and love their sister deeply. Bebe is a big egg with a red suit and a mohawk, while Bubi is a blond egg with a blue suit and a star.
- Lourdes Morán as Mamá Gallina (Mother Hen): Toto's sweet and brave mother hen. She leaves her barn to find her son. She wears a blue handkerchief around her neck.
