Gritos en el Pasillo, which translates to "Going Nuts", is a film shot entirely with peanuts as characters. I know you might be asking why, how and what were they thinking, as I too am wondering at what point they thought it was a good idea.
The Gritos en el Pasillo didn't just contain any old peanuts, oh no! Meloncorp sponsored a contest where fans could submit their own painted peanuts to "audition" to take part in the film. Oh how proud the winning 'parents' must have been, seeing their tiny peanut children on the big screen.
Showing levels of patience I simply can't relate to, the vampire peanut is particularly cool as the shell is used too.
