La Princesa Alegria

La Princesa Alegría (The Princess Happiness, in English) is about a girl telling the story of Princesa Alegria/Princess Happiness, a princess so happy that whoever she talks to becomes filled with complete joy. She tells the story with drawings and paintings, and a boy, a king, and a woman soon become involved in the tale. The story is told in a mix of animation and reality, and what exactly is real may not be as important as what someone, in their deepest of hearts, believes is true. Continue Reading →

A Primera Vista (At First Sight)

A Primera Vista

A Primera Vista (At First Sight, in English) starts off with an old man on a bench. He looks around the area, sees a romantic couple, and is suddenly on the lookout for a potential lady friend. He meets a few women, but one in particular may try to catch his eye.

This short film is just sweet. It has an innocent premise, but what a revealing ending. It can be difficult to find and fall for a potential mate at any given time, but people can still fall in love, no matter what age. Also, how admirable patient love can be.

(240p quality on YouTube, but it has English subtitles as captions. How about this adorable short film about the love story between a Teatro Lambe Lambe puppeteer and a mailman? Or what about this SFW film of a geriatric couple looking over the Kama Sutra?) Continue Reading →

Burbuja (Bubble)

Burbuja

This short film is about a girl who is readying herself for a driver’s exam, while enjoying some intimate time with her man between preparation sessions. It also involves plenty of canned (or bottled) beverages… And to what purpose it is used is something the Internet apparently knows much about.

Fun, silly short film overall. I quite appreciated its grittiness and realistic simplicity. Oh, and ladies: please don’t try this at home. (By the way, Burbuja is definitely NSFW, thanks to the sexual content.)

(For your viewing pleasure, this one has English subtitles. Interested in more sexy films? Or maybe you’d just want to see old people talk about “new positions”?) Continue Reading →

Bendito Machine II: The Spark Of Life

Bendito Machine II: The Spark Of Life features beautiful artwork, interesting characters, and a notable lesson about greed. Yes, Bendito Machine II definitely carries on the world (and careless personalities) of Bendito Machine I: Everything You Need. This time, however, the lesson involves a kind of fizzy drink, and righteous karma. Continue Reading →
