No, Little Hand is not a GCI animation! The sweetest hand of all time was played by actor and illusionist Victor Dorobantu, as Tim Burton wanted the character to be more organic. However, even though computer graphics were dispensed with, Victor still had to wear a special suit to capture his movements.
2. The series “Wandinha” marks the return of Tim Burton as director and it was Tim himself who invited actress Jenna Ortega to be the new Wandinha

3. The country that hosted the recordings of the series was Romania
Country of the famous Count Drácula, Romania is world-renowned for the region of Transylvania, and it is clear that there would be no darker scenario than this for the recordings of the series.
