'The Adventures of Pico and Columbus') is a 1992 German animated fantasy film produced and directed by Michael Schoemann.
In 1492, many believe that the Earth is flat and that ships could fall over the planet's edge; the dangers of the ocean have thus far prevented the extensive travel that would disprove this belief.
With the prospect of falling off the Earth eliminated, Columbus concludes that he could reach the Indies faster by sea travel than Marco Polo had done by land, and goes to present his theory to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain in the hope of receiving funding for an expedition.
That night, Pico overhears the crew plotting to kill Columbus to avoid sailing off the Earth's edge.
Pico, Columbus, a beaver named Bob, and two surviving rats venture through the island's jungle and reach the Swarm Lord's Aztec temple.
