The first animated movie with sound.
The film was intended to satirize President Hipólito Yrigoyen (terms 1916-1922, 1928-1930), but Yrigoyen was deposed by a military coup d'état during the film's production. The film was released about a year following the coup.
This was the third and last animated feature film directed by Quirino Cristiani, following "El Apóstol" (1917) and "Sin dejar rastros" (1918).
The film used the Vitaphone sound-on-disc synchronization system for its soundtrack. It was the first animated feature film with sound, as the four or five animated features previously created by Quirino Cristiani, Lotte Reiniger, and Ladislas Starevich were all silent films.
All drawings for the film were made on cardboard, and then cut out and laid over the background. Quirino Cristiani had not adopted the cel-animation process then-used by some American studios.
