In 1991, two animated films of the same name were released on the theme of the discovery of America: a 25-minute animated version of the US production (directed by Richard Rich, scripted by Brian Nissen) and a 16-part Italian cartoon series (authors - Miguel Gerberg, Ryuza Nakanishi, Nobuyuki Fujimoto). Both works are called “Christopher Columbus” and tell about the great navigator and his historical journey.
Discovery of America
While all the navigators were heading east to China and India, Columbus decided to sail west. With the financial support of the Queen of Spain, he outfitted the ship and set sail. But instead of the expected two weeks, it took a month to swim, and there was no land on the horizon. A little more and a mutiny could start on the ship. Fortunately, fate favors those who are not afraid of untrodden paths. The reward for the inquisitive navigator was the accidentally discovered new continent.
Adventure cartoons for family viewing “Christopher Columbus” are beautiful stories about a child’s dream, self-confidence and perseverance in achieving a goal.
At the heart of both plots are real facts from the life of the world-famous Spaniard of Italian origin, since childhood, when the boy grew up in the large Genoese family of Domenico Colombo and Susanna Fontanarossa. Cristobal Colon (the name of Christopher Columbus in his native language) had a sister and three brothers, one of whom died as a child. Young viewers will be interested to know that Christopher Columbus was not a brunette, as it is customary to portray him in paintings. In fact, he was a tall, gray-eyed, white-skinned and red-bearded man with an eagle nose and early gray hair.
Myths and reality
Although Columbus made four voyages to the shores of the Americas, he is remembered for his first voyage in 1492, which resulted in the discovery by Europeans of an unknown continent (albeit with reservations, after the Vikings) and the beginning of the colonization of its indigenous population. This historical fact is the culmination of both cartoons.
The creators of the animated films “Christopher Columbus” managed to combine fascinating documentary with the inevitable share of artistic fiction that supports the interest of young viewers to historical and geographical details. close
