synopsis

The Magical Pinata ArtA seemingly plain clay pot magically transports Cucha, a selfish and lonely girl, from her small town of "Zapotoco" to a mysterious jungle filled with eccentric characters. Cucha encounters Parrot Rivera, a jungle muralist who paints the future, Señor Chapulin, a soccer star with the heart of the present, and Burro Burrito, a farmer that plows the past. But the evil Monkey King and his silly Sidekick know the clay pot is really a magical piñata and scheme to steal it from her. Through Cucha's musical journey, she discovers magic in the mundane, cultural pride, and the power of sharing.

"A long running hit!" - Jane Horowitz, Washington Post
