Description:


    The animated promo for “El Mañana” takes the audience back to where it all started: on the floating windmill island from the Gorillaz’ first single, “Feel Good Inc.” Set against a beautiful blue-sky back-drop, Gorillaz guitarist and songwriter Noodle sails through the clouds on her laputa-style floating garden. But it isn’t long before the tranquility is interrupted by the arrival of two black helicopter gun ships…

    What are they doing there? Who have they come for? Will it all end badly for Noodle and Gorillaz?

    In this video, the team further developed the unique combination of CG and hand-drawn 2D animation that has characterised all the videos from Demon Days.
