Mi familia es un dibujo (My family is a cartoon) is an Argentine live-action/animated telenovela broadcast by Telefe from 1996 to 1998. It led to a spin-off in 1998, changing its name simply to Dibu (Draw), the name of the cartoon protagonist.
Germán Kraus plays José "Pepe" Medina, the protagonist's father. Stella Maris Closas plays Marcela, Pepe's wife and Alberto Anchart played the grandfather, Atilio. Its youthful cast were Facundo Espinosa (Victor), Marcela Kloosterboer (Caro) and Andrés Ispan (Leo), with Cecilia Gispert providing the voice of Dibu. It also featured the antagonistic participations of Juan Vitali, Graciela Araujo and Adela Gleijer. Luisana Lopilato made her debut in the television series.
It was the first Argentine live action animated soap opera to have a cartoon as the protagonist in interaction with real actors. Due to the enormous success of the series, it had a musical album, with songs composed by Cris Morena. This was a best seller. There were also three motion pictures released in 1997, 1998 and 2002.
The series inspired the nickname of Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez.[1][2]
