Zipi y Zape y el club de la canica

A film for those who miss childhood adventures. Twins Zip and Zap arrive at Esperanza's school, where they are supposed to be taught science and discipline. But the rules in the educational institution are not just strict, try not to obey the iron glove of director Falconetti. The tyrant Falconetti does not allow even just to play and have fun, as other children do. Together with other boys, the brothers organize the Club of Glass Balls. A new illegal mini-organization unexpectedly encounters the school's biggest secret. Investigations, mysteries, closed and forbidden rooms are only the top of the adventures that befall the little heroes of the film.

Like GP, twins Zip and Zap have literary roots, albeit from a separate niche. Oscar Santos Gomez's film is based on a series of children's comics published in 1948. The author of the stories in the pictures is Jose Escobar. Only the events described by Escobar have already been transferred to our modern world. Being ready at the time of 2013, "Zip and Zap" managed to visit several film festivals. For example, the film premiered during the Toronto International Film Festival in 2013. The film was also shown as part of the competition program at the American film festival Sundance, entering the special children's category Sundance Kids. The release of this children's film on the big screen is quite important for Spanish cinema. Despite a fairly developed structure in the cultural niche of cinema, the country produces quite a few children's films. That is why it was decided to wrap the basis of the comic, which was a little more than half a century old at the time of the film's release, in the shell of modern life. Thus, the creators of "Zipa and Zapa" wanted to attract the target audience with current problems and facts from our lives.
