El Americano: The Movie is a 2016 3D Mexican-American animated family film produced by Animex Producciones, Olmos Productions, and Phil Roman Entertainment, and is directed by Ricardo Arnaiz and ex-Disney animator, Mike Kunkel. The film features an ensemble voice cast of mostly Hispanic American and Mexican actors led by Rico Rodriguez, Edward James Olmos, Cheech Marin, Kate del Castillo, Paul Rodriguez, Gabriel Iglesias, Erik Estrada, and Lisa Kudrow.
The first major animated co-production between studios in Mexico and the United States, it is also the first international and CG production for Animex, as well it being its fourth film. FilmSharks International announced that they have acquired the film's international rights.
The film was released in Mexico on 22 January 2016 in Digital 3D and 2D theaters, distributed by Never Landing Digital Distribution. The film has received mixed reviews from critics and was a huge box office disappointment, earning $331,349 on a $4 million budget.
Lionsgate's Grindstone Entertainment has acquired the United States rights to the film and is set for a direct-to-video release sometime in the future.
