For Algida ice creams, in 1960, Pascali created "The Killers". However, the customer did not accept the proposal, deeming it unsuitable due to the too modern graphics for the time and the scenes of violence. However, Pascali continued to develop the subject by intervening on the style of the characters, creating sketches and sets and creating the basis for an independent animated film. In 1967 a trailer lasting 1'37” was made and proposed to the Cineriz production house, which appreciated the project but did not want to produce it because they considered it too sophisticated.
