Ogu and Mampato in Rapa Nui Spanish Og y Mampato en Rapa Nui , also known as Mampato The Movie Spanish Mampato La Pelcula is a featurelength Chilean animated film, created by Cine Animadores and executive produced by Elastic Studios, released June 27, 2002. Although the film isnt the first animated feature made in Chile, being the second after Alfredo Sereys 1921 film La Trasmisin del Mando Presidencial The Transmission of Presidential Control, it is considered the countrys first modern animated film. The movie is based on the Chilean comics character Mampato created in 1971 for the magazine of the same name by Themo Lobos and Eduardo Armstrong, and later reprinted as the comicbook Cucaln, the story for the film being adapted from the seventh adventure in the series Matakiterangui.
Involuntarily, the protagonists get involved in the conflicts and rivalries of the islands inhabitants, where the ariki people subjugate the Orejas Cortas, Maramas tribe.Mampato is, with Condorito, the most popular and acclaimed comic strip from Chile. Cine Animadores, an emerging animation studio, chose Mampato to be made into the first featurelength animated film in Chilean history since the 1920s. Starting production in 1999, director Alejandro Rojas made a treatment with Themo Lobos and selected the seventh story rather than the first one, because it was based on Easter Island, a worldrenowned location with its famous Moais best suited for a strong Latin American advertising campaign and as a means to generate nonChilean interest. ........
