Urduja

About This Movie

Urduja (2008) offers a unique glimpse into the life of a legendary warrior princess through its hand-drawn animation style. The film, set against the backdrop of 13th century Pangasinan, blends action, comedy, and a bit of fantasy. The pacing feels refreshingly deliberate, allowing viewers to absorb the vibrant visuals and rich cultural nuances. While the performances are lively, the charm lies in how the animated characters, particularly Urduja, embody resilience and bravery. The all-Filipino team behind the animation brings authenticity to the storytelling, which, although fictionalized, resonates with local folklore. It’s distinct in its artistic approach and cultural context, making it a noteworthy piece in the tapestry of Philippine cinema.
