Untitled[edit]

The evidence that this film is originally from Spain should be better sourced. We are the only site in the internet stating this, based only on the www.helsinki.fi reference that it's from Euskal Pictures International, which is in Spain. At best the original spanish title should be found. Hoverfish Talk 22:59, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Spanish translation requested[edit]

Google translate is not as helpful as I might wish.

May 1993 article in El Pais indicates the film went to a festival in New York in 1993 and was up for one of the top three pr1zes. [1]
May 1995 article in El Mundo indciates the film won something at the Houston Film Festival [2]
July 1995 article in El Mundo confirms the sequel Return of the North Wind [3]
November 2003 article in Cine por la Red indicates the the film was part of a Spanish animated fantasy films retrospective in 2003 [4]
March 2004 article in Agencia Peru shows the film was screened at a 2004 film festival in Peru [5]

These sources indicate the animated film won awards and was being screened at festivals more than 5 years after its initial release. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 07:18, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Juan Bautista Berasategi's lawsuit[edit]

Could someone fluent in Spanish look into Juan Baustista Berasategi's plagiarism lawsuit against the producers of this film? Using Google Translate, I am able to glean that Berasategi began the film (as "Balleneros"), I'm not sure how far he got, but somewhere down the line, the completed film was released with Carlos Varela and Maite Ruiz de Austri credited as directors. Berasategi sued the producers for plagiarism, and eventually won - I've seen a copy of the film which replaces Varela and Ruiz de Austri's director credit with one for Berasategi. (I uploaded a screenshot at http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/5633/vlcsnap2010090414h23m28.png.)

Can anyone look into this? Here are some Spanish websites which talk about it: A page about Berasategi: http://www.euskomedia.org/aunamendi/13672 A page about the film: http://www.euskomedia.org/aunamendi/150097 This is some legal brief when the suit was decided: http://dreamers.com/cgibin/foros.cgi?foro=atimes?leer=48
