Beanno & Chiino - Go to the Beach

Beanno, a pinto bean, & Chiino, a grain of white rice, have been best friends since they met on a dinner plate years ago. In this episode, the two carbo-tastic compadres go to the beach where they meet up with their friends Lenty, a lentil, and Soya, a soybean. Also, Chiino ends up needing medical attention, so he and Beanno pay a visit to Dr. Kidnesy, a kidney bean.

Director Statement

Beanno & Chiino came about one day when I was hanging out with a Mexican friend of mine. I’m half Chinese, and I thought it’d be funny and interesting to create an animated series that showcased Latino and Asian characters as the leads. There’s also the subtle theme of good carbohydrates vs. bad carbohydrates. This is why Beanno, a pinto bean, is relaxed and Chiino, a grain of white rice, so high strung.
