Lavish production about known twins with emotion , amusement and funny situations
Entertaining film with a lot of fun , state-of-art special effects and interesting screenplay ; according to director Oskar Santos was a lovely homage based on Escobar characters . The picture blends comedy , adventure action, rip roaring , cliff hunger , tongue-in-check and results to be extremely entertained . Zipi and Zape is the most famous creation from Escobar , a legendary Spanish cartoonist . They are twins have a great heart but in their adventures they're not good students like their cousin Sapientin ; then they often finish in punishment by their parents , both of whom here don't appear . This is a fun movie concerning a feisty bunch of underprivileged as well as naughty twin kids Zipi (Raul Rivas) & Zape (Daniel Cerezo) who are punished and sent to summer school at Esperanza College (actually Schossberger castle, Tura, Hungary) , a strict re-education school run by terrible Falconetti (Javier Gutiérrez , a homage to William Smith/Falconetti from Rich man , Poor man) , a nasty Principal with an eye-patch and forbids all forms of amusement and entertainment . Zipi and Zape befriend some boys and form an amusing group called the Marble Gang , the children's resistance , guided by loyalty , bravery , faithfulness and unbreakable trust in friendship . As 5 friends spend their time making antics and frolics when takes place weird deeds and something more terrifying than any of them could have imagined . They uncover a mysterious secret hidden deep within the school and end up having the most stirring adventure of their lives . They spend one last adventure-filled together holding numerous risks , thrills and dangers.
Adventure story has everything for amusement , and generates a sense of wonder and surprise with fast-paced action scenes and some images that have you on the edge of the seat . This is an amusing mess made in Spielberg style , the goal was to pay homage to cinema of the 80s , taking parts here and there from various film in ¨The Goonies¨ style and recently ¨Super 8¨ in which a feisty group of kiddies undertake several adventures along corridors , false doors , traps , and looking for treasures ; as they form a lively quintet in order to defy the evil headmaster . This film tries to put in the big screen some topics of Zipi and Zape adding an adventure style in Steven Spielberg wake . The gags and mischiefs of the movie are the same ones that we could see if we read some comics books of the characters of Escobar , the same thing that the flowing bemusing script as the histories of the own Zipi and Zape . This Fernando Bovaira production is a fun movie concerning the intimate twins carry out childish pranks , mischiefs and winding up into a roller-coater adventure .
I like this movie , it has a good realization , nice atmosphere , an original script and partially faithful to the roles of the twins , and sympathetic interpretations , though little fidelity to the comic books . Enjoyable support cast such as Javier Gutiérrez of ¨Red Eagle¨ as Falconetti who rules the center with a heavy hand and Alex Angulo of ¨The day of the beast¨ as Esperanza . The picture has great loads of action , abundant as well as up-to-date special effects , impressive soundtrack and colorful cinematography by Josu Inchaustegui . Being filmed on location in Guipúzcoa , País Vasco and Hungary , Schossberger castle, Tura, Hungary as Centro Reeducacional Esperanza . Imaginative and rousing musical score by Fernando Velazquez who previously composed for successful terror/thriller films as ¨The orphanage¨ , ¨For the good of others¨ , ¨Julia's eyes¨ and ¨Devil¨ . Produced in big budget by Fernando Bovaira who has financed many hit smashes such as ¨Fin¨, ¨Sea inside¨ , ¨The Others¨ and ¨Mortadelo and Filemón¨. The motion picture was well directed by Oskar Santos who formerly directed ¨For the good of others¨ and TV series as ¨Hispania¨ and ¨Crematorio¨ .
Other films about ¨Zipi and Zape¨ by Escobar are the followings : ¨Aventures of Zipi and Zape¨ by Enrique Guevara with Mary Santpere as Tía Aniceta , Alfred Lucchetti as Don Minervo , Marta Angelat as Doña Jaimita Zapatilla , Joan Monleón as Don Pantuflo Zapatilla and ¨Zipi y Zape" (2003) cartoon TV series by Claudio Biern Boyd .
