Vida y milagros de Don Fausto ("The Life and Miracles of Jiggs") is a 1924 Chilean animated silent comedy film, the third film of Carlos F. Borcosque which he shot with director Carlos Espejo.[1][2] It was based on the Bringing Up Father comic strip.

It opened at the Septiembre and Brasil theatres of Santiago in September 1924.[2] It was a major success, an "extraordinary comedy" which made audiences laugh.[3] Borcosque was the cinematographer for the film which was produced under his own Estudios Cinematograficos Borcosque.[4]
