I stumbled across a few of Quino's Mafalda comicstrips in my textbook, and I fell in love with their charm, wit and subversive humor. Lo and behold, there's a movie from 1981, collecting her animated adventures together in a loose narrative a la The Peanuts TV series here in los Estados Unidos! The transfer's a bit scratchy, but that effect only adds to the warm, aged, low-fi feel of them film. It's colorful, comic and charming, and the voices are perfecto! For those who don't yet speak Spanish but want to follow along, clear English subtitles are provided. Very heartily recommended.

My wife from Colombia loves Mafalda, and I've read a lot of the strips with her, and I thought the video would be a little more than a series of gags from the strips. There wasn't really an underlying story. Still, it was cute to see the characters come to life.

I'm a old Mafalda fan, I love these cartoons since I was a little child.

Now I have a daughter and tried to introduce her in Quino's art trough this DVD and... fail.

The animation and the sound is poor, but the political content is there.

Is a nice try to translate the cartoon to DVD, but...

Well, I love Mafalda, so I will keep with this DVD...

The animation is poor (consistent with the latinoamerican animation of that time). There is not a consistent story or plot. It is more like the best Mafalda cartoons, now animated!

I had always been a big fan of Mafalda, but hadn't realized there was a movie. I used to watch the cartoons and read the comics, but never the movie. So I picked it up from here, and while it wasn't much on plot, it was still entertaining and clever. Like the previous poster noted, the quality is a bit scratchy and not terribly clear, it kind of adds to the nostalgic feel. I didn't mind it but it might be an annoyance to someone else. All in all I enjoyed the movie, very charming.

I LOVE IT!! it looks the same, the crappy picture quality, the voices, everything! i wasn't expecting the picture to look great, i feel like when i was 8 years old laughing my butt off watching mafalda, its just awesome!!

It has a lot of fun merged with facts from reality, latin american people will enjoy it a lot, specially Spanish speakers but it has English subtitles as well. Excelente, divertido y se basa hechos de la vida misma, para personas que hablan español, pienso que será más divertido aún, pero sin embargo tiene subtítulos en inglés también.

I love Quino. I ordered this movie for a present, and I received it really soon.

Obviously I did not open it, but my friend will watch it after har birthday party tomorrow.

Thanks a lot,
