31 minutos, la película is an animated film based on the Chilean television show 31 minutos, directed by Álvaro Díaz and Pedro Peirano. The movie premiere for the public had been scheduled since late 2006, but was delayed for several improvements in its post-production phase, including conducting a contest to find the voices of some characters. The film premiered in Chile on March 27, 2008, in Brazil it was released on August 3, 2012.
On a remote island, a rare creature known as the Blonde Buffalo attempts to flee in an escape raft but is cut off by the island's owner Cachirula de los Cachirulos, her assistant Wool Star, and an army of dolls. Cachirula grieves that she is both despised by the rare creatures she keeps on the island and that she is still missing the most valuable animal of all: Juanín. A smuggler named Tío Pelado arrives to console Cachirula that he has encountered the last remaining Juanín in existence, and upon showing her a photo of it, is commanded to retrieve it.
In mainland Chile, Juanín is the producer of the news program 31 Minutos, headed by bumbling anchor Tulio Triviño, who is celebrating his birthday. Juanín has arranged a special celebration and gift for Tulio, but fears that if anything goes wrong, he will be fired and will be alone. Tío Pelado overhears this and plans to vandalize Juanín's gift, a large portrait of Tulio. Meanwhile, Juanín checks in with the other employees at the studio for the celebration: reporters Patana and Ernesto Felipe Mario Hugo (or Mario Hugo for short), commentator Policarpo, and journalist Juan Carlos Bodoque. Upon Tulio's arrival, the show begins a live broadcasting of the celebration, culminating in the unveiling of Tulio's portrait, which Tío Pelado has repainted to display Tulio sitting on a toiled and labeled "Idiot." Tulio, upset by the humiliating image, fires Juanín, who gathers his things and leaves. After his departure, the news crew finds security footage of Tío Pelado altering Tulio's portrait, which they deduce means Juanín is innocent. As they set out to find him, Juanín has already been tricked by Tío Pelado to come to Cachirula's island.
Captive on Tío Pelado's shipping boat, Juanín befriends a small bug named Vicho who reveals to him the cruel nature of Cachirula's rare animal collection. At the docks, a guilt-ridden Tulio rallies the news cast in an attempt to rescue Juanín by using his private yacht to pursue him but they are instead trapped in the Sea of Great Winds. Unaware of his friends' rescue attempt and feeling betrayed, Juanín accepts Cachirula's hospitality upon arrival to the island and is instructed that he never has to work again, there he meets and befriends a Huachimingo. While still trapped, the news crew receive a televised transmission of Cachirula announcing her completed animal collection and Juanín's disgust of his friends, but Juan Carlos protests the true intentions of Cachirula are to fill her private zoo and strip the animals of their freedom. In an attempt to keep Juanín from his friends' rescue, Cachirula disposes of Tío Pelado as the only remaining witness.
