A few days into their search for adventure, Sancho Panza begins to suspect that his master, Don Quixote, is far more delusional than he imagined: every defeat becomes a heroic feat, every humiliation an act of restraint. Then Don Quixote spots a line of giants on the horizon that only he can see, and charges.

An 11-minute comedy adventure built on the most famous episode in Cervantes, the charge against the windmills, directed by Guillermo Miranda and Javier de la Chica and written by de la Chica and Álex Rey. The idea was to take the delusion seriously: the film puts the fantasy on screen exactly as Don Quixote sees it, with giants, danger and a battle at the scale of an epic action sequence, and the comedy comes from the collision with what is actually happening. It opened Contanimation TV, the studio's anthology of original shorts made with Magnific Originals, and passed 40,000 views on YouTube.
