31 Minutos: Tremendo Tulio Tour

Tulio Triviño has everything you expect from a star: fame, money and a spotlight that never seems to dim. Still, he wakes up empty and tired of the routine. His worried co-workers at the 31 Minutos newsroom decide to lift his spirits with a surprise tribute show meant to remind him why he loved performing. As rehearsals roll and eccentric guests pile on, Tulio suffers a panic attack that threatens the event and forces the team to improvise. The film follows how the cast scrambles to keep the show alive while handling Tulio's fragile mood, without revealing how the tribute ends.

Directed by series creators Álvaro Díaz González and Pedro Peirano, the 2019 TV movie adapts characters and humor from the original 31 Minutos puppet news program. The main voice cast returns, including Pedro Peirano as Tulio and Álvaro Díaz González as Juan Carlos Bodoque, keeping the show's familiar tone and musical style.

31 Minutos has a devoted following in Chile and Spanish-speaking communities, and this film taps into that affection by centering on one of the franchise's most recognizable figures. Longtime fans will find echoes of the series' signature songs, absurdist jokes and character dynamics, while newcomers get an accessible introduction to the puppets and their backstage chaos. The title hints at performance culture and fan celebrations tied to the brand.

Viewer reaction leaned toward enjoyment from families and followers who appreciate its mix of comedy and music, though large-scale critical metrics are limited. The movie uses humor to talk about fame, insecurity and support networks, treating Tulio's burnout and panic with warmth rather than mockery. It balances silly sketches with quieter moments, making it a film that aims to make you laugh and recognize the cost of being in the spotlight.
