Excelente cortometraje, lo vi en canal 11, me encanto el estilo y la forma en que este se conserva entre la animacion tradicional y la 3d, la historia tambien es muy buena y la forma en que la cuentas. Espero que sigas trabajando porque me gustaria ver mas, ademas me alegra de que seas mexicano, parece que se estan haciendo animaciones interesantes en nuestro pais, felicidades.

yes, i know. being macho is a very strong characteristic of Mexican and Spanish culture. My character is an rural old man. I just pictured that.

Thanks for your comments!

@hoppetosse8 You are just a hypersensitive lesbian... go and bring me a coffee will ya...

@maximus10463 hey - calm down. first read my comment . the first thing I did was shouting out WOW! three times. and it seems you didn't get the humorous tone of my comment - there was a ;-) smiley! I think the artist had no problem with my comment, because he got me, as you can see looking at his response.

If you need to use insulting words like stupid, idiotic, retarded it seems that you are the one with a problem. The word "macho" was brought in by the artist - seems like we agree ;-)

[maximus10463]

@hoppetosse8 After seen this great video that's the only stupid comment you have to make? are you serious? yes! Rosario have to make the coffee, why? because hers taste better!!! its not a "macho" thing, either you are a idiotic feminist or just plain retarded... y tu mi querido amigo, exelente video, pero no hay que excusar nuestra bella cultura con ningun gringo pendejo.

@wanabigang hmmm - yep - I already assumed that this was your intention ;)
