In 1941, during a Disney goodwill tour in South America (as part of the Good Neighbor Policy) Walt Disney visited Chile and saw the progress of the film. He was amazed by their simple animation techniques, and he encouraged both filmmakers to continue their project. This gave them the encouragement to finish it as a feature-length film.

Premiere

15.000 Dibujos finally premiered in 1942. Despite being critically acclaimed on its own, primarily because it was the first Chilean animated feature film, it was sadly overshadowed by other animated films like Fantasia and Pinocchio. After this, Carlos Trupp retrieved a copy of the film and, since then, the movie has never been seen in its entirety. 

In the late 1950's, filmmaker Edmundo Urrutia retrieved a little fragment of the film and incorporated it in his documentary “Recordando.” This snippet is the only footage left of the film to date. This fragment was uploaded to YouTube by Kylie Trupp, the granddaughter of Carlos Trupp. In 2001, there were plans to restore the film, but they haven't yet been confirmed.
