I'm afraid the only one I've seen is Apocalipto ... and The Robot vs the Aztec Mummy ;)

Re static images, I posted this a while back in !mexico@lemm.ee

a 3D reconstruction of the capital of the Aztec Empire https://tenochtitlan.thomaskole.nl/

    woah I hadn't heard of this one, looks like it's not very good tho:

    Kings of the Sun is a 1963 DeLuxe Color film directed by J. Lee Thompson for Mirisch Productions set in Mesoamerica at the time of the conquest of Chichen Itza by Hunac Ceel. Location scenes were filmed in Mazatlán and Chichen Itza.[3]

    This one actually sounds pretty good:

    The Feathered Serpent is a British children's serial[2] costume drama[1] television series made for ITV by Thames Television, set in pre-Columbian Mexico and starring Patrick Troughton as the scheming High Priest Nasca. It is an adventure story[3] about good and evil.[1] Two series were first broadcast in 1976 and 1978.

    I wonder if there'll be more stuff like this, rendered with AI.

    edit: that 3d rendering of Tenochtitlan is incredible.

    You're not going to like this, but at least several chapters of The Feathered Serpent are on youtube... and I'm not sure if they're "official"....

    oooh! that reminds me! a couple weeks ago I was bingeing episodes of "La Rosa de Guadalupe" and I saw one where "le hackearon su cuenta de banco y lo dejaron sin un solo peso" because his kid used his smartphone to watch "peliculas coreanas en paginas no oficiales" and caught a malware from it and I was like: yeah, I know a guy who that's NOT going to happen to!

    I've been searching & using Youtube far, far less since Freetube stopped working (apparently Youtube's trickery has reached the point where Freetube will now probably have to include a full Javascript engine to get around it).

    And the native Youtube experience is so awful (it's been documented that Youtube deliberately introduces delays for Firefox users), I cringe when there's no other option.
