The first time we met Gizmo it was in 1984when the first film of gremlins he left. There we saw the story of this lovable furry creature, a Mogwaiwho can not be exposed to water, can not eat after 12 pm and is a bit sensitive to light. Sunlight can kill them and water causes them to reproduce. And if you feed him after twelve he becomes a Mogwai evil better known as Gremlin.

It is set in China in the years twentyit’s animated and it’s very big in the sense that if you tried to do it in live action it would be too expensive.
