Cantaniño cuenta un cuento

About This Movie

So, 'Cantaniño cuenta un cuento' is quite the curiosity, really. You've got this eclectic mix: two guys, a woman, a chimp, and a talking horse, all gallivanting around Argentina trying to put a film together. The comedy has this whimsical charm, almost like a fever dream where reality bends a bit. The pacing is relaxed, letting the humor and music resonate without rushing. It's not every day you see practical effects featuring a horse that talks; it's both silly and endearing. There's a unique atmosphere that feels distinctly Argentine, blending local culture with a playful absurdity. The performances have this unpolished quality that adds to its charm - they feel genuine, like they’re in on the joke.

'Cantaniño cuenta un cuento' is a true rarity in the collector's world. Released in 1979, this film has seen very few formats, making it a bit of a ghost on the market. VHS copies can pop up occasionally, but they're becoming scarcer as time goes on. The oddball premise and distinct local humor can draw niche interest among collectors who appreciate the eclectic side of cinema.
