Fontanarrosa's drawing style is a true legacy and more than adequate to commemorate José Hernández's character, the gaucho Martín Fierro. In this film, which has a certain failed epic tone, that style is the most important thing. Because I believe that the great flaw was its multiple direction (more than three directors), which has clearly affected the result, hasty decisions, with a story that hardly recovers the verses of Hernández's poem. Technically, the animation looks unnatural and choppy, and figure and background often blend poorly. Sometimes the drawings are excellent, other times they look like scribbles. And the night scenes are indecipherable, so bad is the decision to light them. Another thing is the chosen music. When it's not folk music, an orchestration sounds that has almost nothing transcendent and seems like a Hollywood pastiche of no importance: canned compositions, without vitality, absurd clichés. In spite of everything, lost the potential and the great contribution of Fontanarrosa, a recommendable film even though it could have been a huge universal and eternal classic. Pity.

This movie it's one animated adaptation of the epic poem written by José Hernández, which is considered the national book form Argentina. The character designs are made by the comic book writer and cartoonist Roberto Fontanarrosa (Who also worked in "Boogie, el aceitoso", an excellent animated film)

This is an excellent adaptation, very faithful to the book, and despite the cartoonish (But stylish and well made) designs, it keeps a serious, solemn tone, with only very few moments of humor and comedy. The animation and the music are simply beautiful, and the voice performances were pretty good too. This movie is pretty underrated (I can't believe that it only have 6.0 of score'. That's pretty unfair, considering that it was an excellent animated film) and definitely deserves more appreciation.

10/10
