Los Peques is a 3D animation television series made in Argentina that tells the experiences of some trolls in the Argentine Patagonia.

Created in 2001 in the Province of Neuquén, and disseminated through Cable Visión del Comahue, the series is characterized by scripts with a great sense of humor and wit, with a clear message in favor of values such as friendship, work, respect for the elderly and the roots, as well as a strong ecological content. With episodes of short duration, just 5 minutes, appeared on television for a while, at a rate of 4 daily departures, and due to the great acceptance that was on the part of the public, many other products emerged, including DVD movies.[1] [2] In 2012 the creation of new episodes was announced; these will be broadcast by the Pakapaka channel, belonging to the Ministry of Education.[citation needed]

When young people enter what is known as the smallness of the turkey they are sent to watch distant areas so that they do not falter.
