ZIPI Y ZAPE

These endearing twins, one blonde, one dark, with their insatiable curiosity and their appetite for fun, games and having a good time, and whose pranks sometimes have unexpected results. Their school, their friends and their parents together in an endless realm of imagination create the perfect world for acquainting children of all ages with the most universal of values. Respect and friendship, struggle and enjoyment, learning and responsibility are values that run deep in this world of laughter. And their endless stream of hilarious pranks allow us to share the most delightful moments of these most famous of twins, Zipi y Zape.

CARPANTA

With his bow-tie and hat, Carpanta goes through life, together with his brother-in-arms Protasio, looking for a little something to satisfy his insatiable hunger. An anti-hero who navigates the days in good cheer, despite always being on the point of eating without ever managing to do so. A clear reference to joie de vivre overcoming gloom, as after all, we only live once.

PETRA,
all-round maid

With her apron, lace headpiece and simple ways she conforms to the stereotype of a maid in times when people would leave their rural villages for the cities, to work for a pittance in the houses of the wealthy. Entertaining situations Petra, the reluctant all-round maid, gets herself into, and continually at odds with Doña Patro, the lady of the house, with whom she constantly quarrels.

DOÑA TOMASA,
goes and rents out her house with great zest

Surprisingly contemporary, Doña Tomaso, due to financial problems, sublets rooms in her house to people in similar financial straits. Entertaining stories of Doña Tomasa living with tenants from a variety of different social backgrounds. A fact that gives rise to a multitude of comical situations, that for sure, are lived by many people in financial difficulties, today.

“To tease a smile from a child, through humour, as my grandfather always aimed to do, is the greatest challenge and adult can face.
The fact that Zipi y Zape are back to provide us with afternoons of enjoyment and that Carpanta has returned to entertain is the greatest tribute that can be paid to their creator.”
