Argentine Animated Films
Argentines (mistakenly translated Argentineans in the past; in Spanish ( masculine) or ( feminine)) are people identified with the country of Argentina. This connection may be residential, legal, historical or cultural. For most Argentines, several (or all) of these connections exist and are collectively the source of their being ''Argentine''. Argentina is a multiethnic and multilingual society, home to people of various ethnic, religious, and national origins, with the majority of the population made up of Old World immigrants and their descendants. As a result, Argentines do not equate their nationality with ethnicity, but with citizenship and allegiance to Argentina. Aside from the indigenous population, nearly all Argentines or their ancestors immigrated within the past five centuries. Among countries in the world that have received the most immigrants in modern history, Argentina, with 6.6 million, ranks second to the United States (27 million), and ahead of other imm ...

Patoruzú
Patoruzú is a comic character created in 1928 by Dante Quinterno and is considered the most popular hero of Argentine comics. Patoruzú is a wealthy Tehuelche '' cacique'' with great estate properties in Patagonia, and possesses both superhuman physical strength and a charitable yet naive heart. He was originally only a side character in Quinterno's series "Don Gil Contento", but became so popular with readers that the comic was renamed after him. History Patoruzú first appeared on October 19, 1928, in the ''Las Aventuras de Don Gil Contento'' strip in the ''Crítica'' newspaper, under the name of ''Curugua Curuguagüigua''; ''last cacique of the giant Tehuelches'', of whom ''Don Gil'' becomes tutor. The name was deemed too difficult to pronounce and was soon changed to Patoruzú, after the then-popular candy ''Pasta de Orozú''. Nevertheless, the strip was canceled by the newspaper after only a few days. Later that year Dante Quinterno started working for '' La Razón'' ...
