DONKEY
XOTE
With
original
Spanish
voices
by Andreu
Buenafuente,
David
Fernández,
Sonia
Ferrer,
José
Luis
Gil
Directed
by Jose
Pozo
One
of the
best
known
Spanish
literary
tales
of all
time,
Don
Quixote,
gets
an animated
make-over
from
the
country
of its
origin
with
a continuation
of his
adventures.
It is
told
from
Rucio’s
point
of view,
the
donkey
of Don
Quixote’s
“squire”
Sancho
Panza,
who
ventured
out
on an
adventure
of knightly
chivalry
and
bravery
(taking
on windmills
mistaken
as monsters!).
Here
Quixote
gets
duped
into
traveling
to a
duel
to win
his
love
(but
there
are
numerous
men
claiming
to be
the
real
Don
Quixote).
With
his
horse
a bit
of a
sissy,
Rucio
gets
the
opportunity
to save
the
day.
Well
executed
and
lacking
that
overt
Disney
glitz.
