Abstract

According to the Índice cronológico del cine mexicano,¹ the first animated film of the country is Mi sueño, made in 1915 by an unknown author. The first animator whose name we know is Miguel Angel Acosta² (or Alcorta), who animated some cut-outs in 1929 (Luis Strempler mentions ‘more than two hundred productions of animated films of about thirty seconds each’).³
