Peludo City

About This Movie

Peludo City is a fascinating piece of early animation that captures a turbulent moment in Argentine history through a unique lens. With its surreal portrayal of President Yrigoyen navigating a metaphorical boat amidst threats from the Radicals, the film’s visual narrative feels both playful and darkly satirical. The Vitaphone sound-on-disc adds an interesting layer, though the animation style can feel primitive by today's standards, it carries a charm that reflects the era's experimental spirit. The pacing is brisk, keeping you engaged while it layers complex political commentary within its whimsical presentation.

Peludo City is a rare gem in the animation genre, especially considering its historical context. The film has seen limited releases over the years, making it quite scarce in collector circles, and its unique animation style and storytelling approach draw interest from those fascinated by political satire in cinema. While not widely known, its thematic depth and experimental nature hold significant value for collectors venturing into the realms of animation history.
