The Dam
Toco and Roco fight over a sturdy branch for their builds in the swamp. The tug-of-war snaps the branch and sends them both into the water, destroying Roco's lodge.
Brazilian animated series
Two brothers.
One swamp.
Not a single word.
TOCO & ROCO is a dialogue-free clay animation series about two beaver brothers who live in a swamp. Toco, the older one, builds everything with care; Roco, the younger one, prefers to do nothing — and gets in the way precisely when he decides to help. The humor comes from the clash between the two, and the swamp always gets the last word.

A small world made by hand
The series takes place in swamps and bayous inspired by the Atchafalaya Basin, where nature is the perfect stage for great (and small) adventures.
Bayous and swamps
Living nature that reacts and settles the scene.
Handmade clay
Fingerprints left in plain sight, nothing polished.
Humour without dialogue
No speech, no subtitles — only timing.
Brotherly trouble
One brother's method meets the other's improvising.
About the creator
Renato Souto Maior
I am Renato, creator of TOCO & ROCO. The series was born from what has always drawn me to animation: clay, stop-motion, and stories told without a single word — the path of Pingu and Shaun the Sheep. 2. What interests me is humor that needs no speech. A gesture, a pause, something going wrong at the exact right time: that crosses any language, and it is what Toco and Roco do in every episode. 3. I produce independently, using artificial intelligence as a production tool — to model, animate, and speed up what used to take months. The direction, the ideas, and the timing remain handwork.
