Disparacuentos
Synopsis
Disparacuentos is a playful and imaginative TV series where children become spontaneous storytellers, crafting wild tales that come to life through vibrant animation and illustration. Produced by UNICEN’s Audiovisual Production Company for the National University Audiovisual Network (RENAU) in Argentina, the series invites kids aged 6 to 10 to invent and narrate original stories in front of the camera—on the spot, without scripts or rehearsals. These improvised narratives, filled with humor, fantasy, and unexpected twists, are then brought to life through colorful animations and illustrations. Each episode is a unique collaboration between the raw creativity of childhood and the visual language of animation, resulting in a dynamic and joyful experience for audiences of all ages.
