Known For

31 Minutos: Don Quijote
Juan Carlos Bodoque plays Miguel de Cervantes; Tulio Triviño plays Don Quixote, Juanin Juan Harry plays Sancho and Patana plays Pantonia, the hidalgo's niece. Thus, the universe of the acclaimed children's program 31 Minutos is transferred to the work of Cervantes in a theatrical parody for children and adults that recreates essential elements of the story, maintaining some of its most innovative aspects: the author as a character in the work, the existence of the book within the same novel, etc. The puppet version of the literary classic is quite faithful to the original text, since it preserves entire dialogues from the novel as a way of valuing its validity. It also rescues themes such as fantasy, the necessary madness or eccentricity that takes us out of everyday life and inspires us to fulfill our dreams despite the difficulties; friendship and love as values worth defending tooth and nail, and humor as a trench against pedantry.

31 Minutes
Chilean television show which takes the form of a mock news broadcast, and is fronted by puppets who present various items.

31 Minutos: Yo Nunca Vi Televisión
Mounted on a modern set almost 32.8 ft, the show recreates the original spirit of the popular puppet news show. Tulio Triviño, Juan Carlos Bodoque, Patana Tufillo, Juanín Juan Jarry and the rest of the cast deliver live news of sublime importance: the launch of a giant pizza into outer space. In between, classics such as "Mi Equilibrio Espiritual", "Bailan Sin Cesar" or "Mi Muñeca Me Habló", in an online show dedicated especially to all that public that has accompanied them for all these years and who was left with the desire to be part of an unforgettable experience.

31 Minutos: Romeo y Julieta
To pay his gambling debts, Juan Carlos Bodoque promises Mr. Monster the greatest Romeo and Juliet ever made. Five years later, he hasn’t written a single line. With disaster looming, he drags the “31 Minutos” crew into an improvised, off-the-rails version of Shakespeare’s tragedy. Complete with songs, confusion, and total nonsense.

31 Minutos: Querido Diario (o Cuarentena 31)
The star journalist of 31 Minutos, Juan Carlos Bodoque has to lock himself in his house due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

31 Minutos en la Teletón
First (and last) participation of 31 Minutos in the Teletón. The 31 Minutos team appears with a disastrous performance at the Chilean televised charity event called Teletón, the great network of love and solidarity that unites an entire country. The truth is, no one in charge of the Teletón production reviewed the special episode before it was broadcast — and they never invited them again.

31 Minutos: Festival de Triviña
Tulio accepts the mayor's invitation to host his own festival within the Viña Festival, but the rest of the team is very scared by the presence of the famous "Monster" of the festival.

31 Minutos - Piloto TVN
The 31 Minutos pilot is the second pilot produced by Aplaplac for the series, this time to be presented to Televisión Nacional de Chile for broadcast. It has a structure and designs more similar to what would be seen in the series itself.

Las vacaciones de Tulio, Patana y El pequeño Tim

31 Minutes: One Hot Christmas
Puppeton, the town of 31 Minutes, faces such an infernally hot Christmas that Santa Claus cancels his visit! Bodoque the rabbit heroically volunteers to rescue the presents from the North Pole, while his friends improvise a disastrous Christmas show. But what they don't expect is Bodoque giving in to some irresistible temptations along the way.
