Bolívar el héroe

Bolívar el héroe is a 2003 animated film from Colombian studio Fusion Arte about the life of revolutionary Simón Bolívar, all the way from infancy.


 * Adaptation Dye Job: Simón, going from black hair to purple for a start. Other historical figures have a high chance of this as well.
 * Animesque: Quite a few internet reviewers including Critico Histerico have made comparisons between the art of this film and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. An article about the film from newspaper El tiempo mentions Los Caballeros del Zodiaco.
 * Names to Run Away From Really Fast: The antagonist's name is Tiránico, a cognate of "tyrranical".
 * Rebel Leader: Just as in life, the movie's Simón becomes this in adulthood.
 * Three-Month-Old Newborn: The newborn Simón's face and head are small and his body proportions are more like an older baby.
 * Vague Age: It seems this is a side-effect of the art being like it is.
 * You Fail History Forever: Anti-revolutionary actors all got composited and simplified into a single character named Tiránico. The slaves and other marginalized populations in South America got their own stand-in as well, named Américo.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Simón himself has purple hair, while several characters have green, blue, bright red, or even vastly premature gray.
