"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."
A little disappointing

"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."
