Quotes

Lincesa: What happen to you?
Félix: I got into a fight with a... bear, a really big one. Sometimes, i can't control my wild instinct.
Lincesa: You sure you didn't electrocute yourself on the fence?
Félix: [pauses]
Lincesa: Your hair is standing on air, you got burn marks on your paws, and well, i saw you when i got here.
Félix: I... i didn't want you to think i was one of those tamed cats.
Lincesa: Be careful! There are only a few of us left. And there will be even fewer if you keep having accidents like that.

cutest (and most hilarious) animated Spanish movie out right now!

i been watching animated movies made in Spain for about 4 years now and i gotta say Spanish people make cute animated movies. But i think "The Missing Lynx" is cuter, funnier and it looks better.

The movie tells the story of Felix, a lazy and unlucky Iberian lynx, who's staying in a animal recovery center in Donana National Park. Then, he learns about Noah (Noe in Spanish), a eccentric millionaire who tries to create a so-called "Noah's Ark" for endangered animals. Along with a group of friends: Gus, a paranoid chameleon; Beeety (Beeea in Spanish), a "dare-devil" like goat; Astarte, a brave female falcon and Rupert, a almost-blind mole, Felix tries to ruin Noah's plans. On the way, Felix falls for a female lynx called Lynxette (Lincesa in Spanish).

Well, i gotta admit, the story seems weak and a little predictable. But overall, "The Missing Lynx" is a great Spanish movie for kids and full of entertainment. I loved all the characters in the movie, especially Gus. He made me laugh so hard with all his paranoid stuff. The movie also leaves a good message for protecting the endangered animals from destruction. Do i recommend this movie? Yep, totally. Cuz it's really gonna entertain both kids and adults of every age. Big shout-out to Raul Garcia, Manuel Sicilia and Antonio Banderas for making this movie. They did a great job.
