Bolivar el heroe trailer

A short trailer for the film.

Bolívar: el héroe (Bolívar: the Hero) is a Colombian animated movie released on Christmas day of 2003 and based on the life of Simón Bolívar (a Latin American who fought Spaniard colonial rule). Not a great deal is known about the movie, and there are few online resources regarding it. What is known, is that it is notorious on the Latin-American web for being of low quality, due to its lack of funding. Sources say the film performed decently at the Box Office.

The plot tells the story of Bolívar using basic characters (Tyrannical, representing Spain and the oppression brought with them; and Amerigo, who represents the Latin Americans and their desire for freedom).

Running 75 minutes, the film was designed to appeal to younger audiences using its "cartoony" art style. It was produced entirely digitally, the production of which apparently lasted two years. It was screened at numerous film festivals between 2004 and 2007 and, according to Wikipedia, still airs occasionally on Colombian and International Television. Since working on the film, the director, Guillermo Rincón, has not made any further ventures in the film industry.
