　　Malvís (Alfredo Landa) is sick of working like crazy for nothing. He__APOS__d rather become a bandit, that__APOS__s much better, he__APOS__s gonna be the fearful Fendetestas! He__APOS__ll spread panic in the woods of his region. But there__APOS__s a little problem: there aren__APOS__t much people living in his region, everyone knows everyone and everyone is so poor, so is gonna be difficult that someone takes Malvís/Fendetestas too seriously.
　　This is a magic history, so funny, and full of situations that will make you laugh. It__APOS__s also full of characters that belong to the Spanish idiosyncrasy: the strict priest, the Guardia Civil, the old devout women, the village idiot... there__APOS__s even a lost soul wandering around the woods.
　　The great Alfredo Landa heads a cast that gathered together the best two generations of Spanish scene: from Fernando Rey to Encarna Paso, from Manuel Alexandre to María Isbert... A cast like that would be just unthinkable nowadays. __QUOTE__El Bosque Animado__QUOTE__ was the first movie of José Luis Cuerda__APOS__s trilogy of rural comedies (after this one he made the surreal __QUOTE__Amanece Que No Es Poco__QUOTE__, and __QUOTE__Así En El Cielo Como En La Tierra__QUOTE__. Those are movies so personal that stress the Spanish culture. The young directors should take note of films like __QUOTE__El Bosque Animado__QUOTE__, instead of trying to be the new __QUOTE__enfant terrible__QUOTE__ and imitating US worst cinema.
