The FauFau story

It all started with my son, Cheche.

Like many parents, one day I sat down next to him in front of a screen and felt something off: colors that screamed, songs that repeated until they wore you out, images rushing by so fast they left no room for anything. A lot of noise. Little heart.

Today children grow up in an oversaturated, overstimulated world. And I didn't want that for Cheche. I didn't want something that would numb his mind, but something that would gently awaken it. A calm, joyful place to learn to enjoy life in all its shades, without rushing.

Since I couldn't find it, I decided to make it.

That's how FauFau was born: a series made by a dad, for Cheche and for all the little ones who deserve stories that sound like them, look like them, and celebrate who they are.

Content with heart

Each character lives a real childhood emotion: the courage to try, calm in the storm, how hard it is to share. Values that are felt, not preached.

Mexican pride

Animals from our land and a neutral Spanish understood across Latin America. So children see themselves on screen.

A good ear for music

Cumbia, rock, bossa nova, reggaeton, even K-pop… each character has their own genre and instruments. So, among so many different styles and sounds, little ones' ear for music awakens from an early age.

To sing as a family

Songs for the car, the kitchen, the living room. FauFau isn't for watching in silence: it's for singing together, away from the screen and close to one another.

From the heart to your hands

Clay, watercolor, felt, crochet and paper: each FauFau world is an invitation to turn off the screen, pull out the materials and create together in the real world.

There's no factory behind FauFau. There's a dad and his family, a lot of care, and the wish to plant in little ones a love for art.

We're not trying to fill your child's eyes with noise. We're trying to plant something beautiful in their heart.

Welcome to FauFau.

May they grow up singing.

FauFau is a creation of Cheche Studios, our independent studio.
