Argentina - January 16, 2025 The Argentine filmmaker, theater director, and producer Juan José Campanella acknowledges that he has overcome the “greatest challenge” in his ambitious plan to bring Mafalda to the screen: selecting the actress who will provide the voice for that round-faced girl with disheveled hair who questions society and was brought to life by the cartoonist Quino. Camera: JULIETA BARRERA STATEMENTS BY JUAN JOSÉ CAMPANELLA, ARGENTINE FILMMAKER: A very exhaustive voice search, we have listened to over 800 voices to find the right ones. Being a Mafalda fan I am fully aware that the voices can make or break the project, so I have no doubt. Also, with the experience of “Metegol”, the experience of our animators is excellent, so I have no doubt about that. But to capture that essence of Quino, that voice that no one ever heard or heard once and didn't like it in some previous experience, this is the biggest challenge.
