I fratelli Dinamite (internationally released as The Dynamite Brothers) is a 1949 Italian animation film directed by Nino and Toni Pagot.

It is considered the first Italian feature-length animated film and the first Italian film in Technicolor[1][2] together with La Rosa di Bagdad by Anton Gino Domeneghini which was also released in 1949.[3] The production of the film began in 1942, and it was held back by a bombing that destroyed original drawings for the film.[4]

The film premiered at the 10th Venice International Film Festival.[5]
