dc.description.abstract	The Spanish motion picture "La Gran Aventura de Mortadelo y Filemón" (2003) is not a historical film, no matter what definition of 'historical film' one might use. Instead, "Mortadelo y Filemón" (M&F) is the cinematic adaptation of the most successful Spanish comic book series ever published its significance to Spanish popular culture reflected by the spectacular box office records achieved by its cinematic counterpart. Moreover, and in contrast to the things we usually understand as 'historical film' - as well to the conventions of cinematic realism -, M&F is a cartoon-like histrionic comedy like no other; characters get smashed to the ground by a falling piano, only to later be "inflated" back to life, much in the style of the Warner Brothers' "Loony Toons".	de
