Trailer
Why watch this film?
Every once in a while, Disney bets on very specific cultures to delve into their animations. Hawaiian culture is present in 'Moana', South American in 'The Emperor's New Groove', Mexican in 'Viva: Life is a Party' and, finally, indigenous in 'Brother Bear'. This last animation, commanded by the debuting directing duo Aaron Blaise and Bob Walker, tells the story of an indigenous man who turns into a bear. Although the movie has some nonsense that doesn't make sense and an infantilization of the discourse in unnecessary moments, 'Brother Bear' brings an unexpected beauty to the screen, with the redemption journey of this indigenous man with the nature around him. The good voice work of Joaquin Phoenix ('Joker') also helps to set the tone, as well as some well-fitted jokes from the reindeer that appear from time to time. It's not a Disney dark movie as good as 'Treasure Planet' or 'Atlantis'. However, 'Brother Bear' still has plenty of room to move, make you laugh and give you goosebumps.

Haydee y el pez volador
Directed by award-winning Chilean journalist and filmmaker Pachi Bustos, 'Haydee and the Flying Fish' is a heartbreaking documentary best described by its title as it toured and won awards on the film festival circuit: "The Woman Who Brought the Chilean Navy to Justice." The feature-length film is, on the one hand, an empathetic portrait of Haydee Oberreuter, who was kidnapped and tortured at the age of twenty-one in 1973 (the year Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship began in Chile), ending her four-month pregnancy, and whose physical and psychological wounds she has carried with her ever since. It is also the story of a historic trial that reached the Supreme Court over the course of a decade in search of convictions for the four men who tortured her. But above all it is a story of compassion and hope, showing how the case went so far thanks to selfless actions. 'Haydee and the Flying Fish' is for its country, like the Chilean also 'El patio', 'Heredera del viento' for Nicaragua, 'El buen cristiano' for Nicaragua, or 'Tempestad' and 'Soles negros' for Mexico; a very important contribution to the historical memory of Chile and Latin America.

Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp

Robot Dreams
Sometimes we get so carried away by the marketing power of studios like Disney Pixar, and we overlook other avenues for deep and powerful animated stories that don't need excessively complex plots to evoke emotions. Such is the case with Robot Dreams, a Hispanic-French production directed by Pablo Berger (2012’s Snow White), based on the eponymous graphic novel by Sara Varon. Set in New York during the 80s, the story follows Dog, whose solitary life leads him to buy a robot for companionship. Their friendship grows, but an unfortunate day at the beach forces them to separate and long for the day of their reunion. Virtually without dialogue, with vibrant animation and a captivating visual language, the film tells a simple yet profoundly moving story about (curiously) human relationships and the course they take despite (or because of) accidents, fortuitous circumstances, and uncontrollable events that happen throughout life.
Masha and the Bear: Twice the Fun
