In the skies of Rio, a band of pigeons must unite to survive a ruthless falcon’s Tyranny, proving that even the smallest wings can spark a revolution.

SYNOPSIS:

The Pigeon Revolution

Animated limited series Comedy/Adventure

Thomaz, a young, idealistic, and talented pigeon, dreams of soaring high with the frigatebirds and other masters of the sky. He hopes to inspire fellow pigeons to claim their place above, but no one truly understands why—on the ground, they have everything they need. His ambition seems, to most, a dangerous delusion.

His closest friends offer conflicting guidance: Clemente, clumsy yet loyal, uses humor and pragmatism to warn him about the risks of blind ambition; Roscharque, enigmatic and deeply distrustful of humans, lives by the credo: "With predators, we don't negotiate." He knows all too well that a human shooter killed Thomaz’s father.

Rosa, a pigeon as skilled in flight as Thomaz but far more grounded, views their role through the lens of survival: pigeons are prey in a brutal world and must organize, not dream. Although she harbors deep feelings for Thomaz, she cannot understand his obsession with reaching the sky.

In pursuit of his dream, Thomaz consults Blanca, a spiritualist pigeon with clipped wings who preaches Opombonopombo—a technique based on gratitude and positive visualization. But when Thomaz applies this in practice, it fails: he barely escapes an attack by Gringo, a sadistic peregrine falcon who hunts not out of hunger, but for the joy of crushing hope.

While Thomaz clings to his illusion of personal greatness, Rosa takes action, mobilizing the pigeons to defend themselves. When a ravenous pelican nearly devours Thomaz, it is Rosa—along with Clemente and Roscharque—who leads a daring, improvised counterattack, even wielding an abandoned kite string laced with glass. This moment sparks a revolution: for the first time, pigeons realize they can fight back.

Frustrated at not being the hero, Thomaz plunges deeper into his obsession, while Rosa, embracing her role as leader, establishes protection networks and collective strategies. Enraged by this defiance, Gringo forms alliances with seagulls and other predators to crush the uprising. Roscharque, ever the shadow operator, sabotages a human sniper, exposing the violence behind the so-called “natural order.”

As tensions peak, Thomaz makes a desperate offer to Gringo: if he can fly as high as the frigatebirds, Gringo must spare the pigeons. But it’s a trap—Gringo plans to massacre not just Thomaz but all the pigeons gathering to witness his flight.

Warned by Bala, a vengeful yellow-bellied flycatcher, Rosa organizes a massive counteroffensive. As Thomaz ascends, only to be dismissed and humiliated by the frigatebirds as an "intruder," Rosa leads pigeons, doves, and other city creatures into battle, defeating Gringo and his allies amid the alleys and skies of Copacabana.

Gravely wounded, Thomaz is saved—not by heroism, but by an unexpected gesture: a human rescues and cares for him, proving that even the most dangerous species can show compassion.

Upon returning, Thomaz finds a transformed community: Rosa is now a respected and pragmatic leader; Clemente has become a storyteller, spreading the legend; and Roscharque, an anti-human strategist, remains vigilant. But their revolution is only the beginning.

The story of the Pigeon Revolution spreads across the world, inspiring captive and oppressed pigeons everywhere to rise—not just against predators, but against the structures that keep them grounded.
