Cóndor Crux, la leyenda (English: Condor Crux, The Legend), also known as Cóndor Crux, is a 2000 Argentine animated science fiction adventure film written and directed by Juan Pablo Buscarini and Swan Glecer. The film combines 2D animation with 3D computer-generated backgrounds, in a style similar to the American-made Titan A.E. (2000), which was still production at the time of Cóndor Crux's release (the film premiered on 6 January 2000, while Titan A.E. was released on June 16 of the same year). The film received mixed-to-positive reviews and won a Silver Condor Award for Best Animated Film, but was a failure at the box-office. It is currently available on Disney+ in Latin America (excluding Brazil).
