Condorito: The Movie

"Condorito: The Movie" (Condorito: la película, 2017) is a Latin American animated comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Directors Alex Orrelle and Eduardo Schuldt brought the beloved comic strip condor to the screen for the first time — a character Chilean artist René Ric invented in 1949 who has been a household name across South America for decades.

Aliens arrive with an amulet that bends any intelligent mind to their will. The catch: it doesn't affect the dim-witted. So the planet's survival depends on Condorito — a hapless condor living among humans who manages to bungle almost everything he tries. Omar Chaparro voices him. The setup is brazenly absurd and the film commits to it completely.

A co-production spanning Argentina, Chile, Mexico and Peru, the film works both for longtime fans of the comic and for audiences who've never encountered the character. Fast, light-footed, and funnier than the premise has any right to be. Stream "Condorito: The Movie" online on iFILM.
