Boogie is a 2009 Argentine adult animated action-thriller black comedy film, based on the Argentine character Boogie, the oily by Roberto Fontanarrosa, and directed by Gustavo Cova. The voices of main characters Boogie and Marcia were performed by Pablo Echarri and Nancy Dupláa. It was the first 3D animated film made in Argentina and Latin America.

Production

Gustavo Cova was contacted by José Luis Masa, owner of Illusion Studios, who were working in a project of the film. Roberto Fontanarrosa, creator of the character in comic strips, had read and edited a provisional script. Fontanarrosa died shortly after, but it was decided to go on with the project.

The film had a cost of two and a half million of dollars.

Unlike the comic strips, which are made with short jokes, the film is not made with a series of short shots but with a big storyline, although many of the comic strips created by Fontanarrosa were included as part of the storyline. Boogie also lacks in the comic strips a female sidekick: although Marcia does exist in such media, she's just one more of many others secondary characters abused or insulted by Boogie.
