La leyenda de la Nahuala (2007)
Funny portrait of legends and traditions.
4 November 2007 - 9 out of 15 users found this review helpful.
Even if it is not a state-of-the-art animation, being traditional 2D drawings, later computer-colored, the movie is funny, most of the humor being rather idiosyncratic, and portraits the city of Puebla very accurately, from the San Francisco Church to the Palafoxiana Library. The movie also shows many Mexican and Novohispan traditions, such as the "merengueros", the "balero" game, the "calaveras" (sugar candy) and the "Día de Muertos" (All Saints), everything set just 3 years before the start of the Mexican Independence War.
The production was done completely in Puebla, Mexico, and it was premiered during the Festival International de Cine de Morelia (FICM).
