History

Before founding Aplaplac, Díaz and Peirano had worked on shows such as Plan Z, Gato por liebre,[1] and El factor humano. The company was founded in 2001, being named after "Instituto Aplaplac" (lit: Aplaplac Institute), the name of one of their sketches on Plan Z.[2] Some of their earliest works include Sangre, sudor y lágrimas (2001) and Mira Tú (2002). The company produced children's puppet show 31 minutos, which was originally broadcast by TVN,[3] although it would also be broadcast by Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network later on. The first three seasons were originally transmitted between 2003 and 2005.

Their first movie, Los dibujos de Bruno Kulczewski, was released in 2004.[4] It consists of a mockumentary about infants' skulls being found on the island of Chiloé, and the investigation that follows. Aplaplac also helped produce a theatrical movie based on 31 minutos, under the name "31 minutos, la película". During 2009, Aplaplac created a spinoff of 31 minutos, Las Vacaciones de Tulio, Patana, y el Pequeño Tim.[5]

Later that year, the company produced a music video for Chilean band Los Bunker's single, Una nube cuelga sobre mí.[6] They also created several music videos for Chilean musician Pedropiedra between 2011 and 2015.

In 2012, Aplaplac announced that 31 minutos would get a fourth season and a second movie,[7] although the fourth season wouldn't arrive until 2014, and there wouldn't be a second movie at all. The fourth season would arrive to Netflix in 2020.[8] A spinoff of 31 Minutos called Segurito was released by Aplaplac on YouTube in 2017.
