What happens

Roy del espacio (English: Roy of Space or Roy from Space) is a 1983 Mexican animated science fiction film produced and directed by Hector López Carmona, Rafael Ángel Gil and Ulises Pérez Aguirre. Produced from 1979 to 1982, it is one of the first feature-length Mexican animated films ever made. Roy del espacio premiered on 3 March 1983, playing in several theatres in Mexico. Retrospective reviews of Roy del espacio have referred to it as "an example of artistic ineptitude" and "a real disaster". It was considered a lost film; from which only still images from the film were known to survive. The film remained in this status until 17 November 2025, when boutique distributor Deaf Crocodile announced it was working on the restoration, to be released on Blu-ray sometime in 2026, alongside a Kickstarter campaign.
