Petete y Trapito is a 1975 Argentine animated film directed by Manuel García Ferré. The original movie starts with an introduction of Petete, a penguin. However, in most countries outside Argentine this introduction was removed and the title was shortened into "Trapito" as the penguin does not appear anymore.
Synopsis
During a stormy night, the starling Salapin is about to drown in a mud pool due to exhaustion. Next to the mud pool hangs Trapito, a scarecrow, on his frame. Trapito is a living scarecrow. He picks up Salapin and puts him in his inside pocket where it is dry and warm.
Next day, Salapin is recovered. He has a chat with Trapito and must admin the scarecrow is lonely and emotionally unstable. Salapin takes Trapito to the patriarch: a wise and old owl who knows everything about life, the forest and its inhabitants. The owl concludes Trapito has no imagination as he is a loner who never left his pole and does not know what's going on in the world. The owl sends Trapito and Salapin on an adventure travel.
