This work's proposal, which combines two different researches, is to discuss the narrative and aesthetic possibilities of the animated biographic documentary, using the short film Ryan, by Chris Landerth, as a base. It is of particular interest to problematize the options of representation and of the creative process of this (sub)genre, having as a scenery the multiple paths that the digital offers and, also, the challenges that the "me culture" brings to the documentary.
