The lost grandfather of Argentine animation — you've never heard of him, and that's a crime.
Film is based on the cartoon character Don Pancho Talero and his family.
Practical Effects
Hand-drawn animation fused with live action — absolutely bonkers for 1929.
Production
Argentina's first animated feature — they beat Disney to the punch locally.
Director
Arturo Lanteri
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Don Pancho Talero was Argentina's most popular comic strip — this film was basically their 'Garfield: The Movie' moment, except actually culturally significant.
Most prints were lost; what survives is fragmentary, making every remaining frame basically archaeological treasure.
