The Bienvenido's Story

A group of children gather around Marisol as she recounts the simple but charming life of a donkey that moves from home to home until it becomes the star attraction of a small circus. The story follows the animal through a string of owners, each one adding a little care, a little showmanship, or a new audience, and shows how affection and attention shape the donkey's role in the community. The tone stays light and funny, focused on everyday moments and the small misunderstandings and kindnesses that bind people together, keeping the focus on warmth and innocence rather than any dark turns or major surprises.

The 1964 comedy was directed by Augusto Fenollar and credits José María Sánchez Silva as its creator. It stars Marisol in the central role, with Manuel Bermúdez 'Boliche', Jesús Guzmán, Anabel Pintado and Miguel Armario among the supporting cast, reflecting the era's popular family-oriented Spanish cinema.

Critical response has been modest, and available ratings give it a 5.0/10 from a small number of votes. Reviews and viewer notes tend to point to light humor, sentimental beats, and straightforward storytelling geared toward children and parents, with themes of empathy toward animals, shared responsibility, and the pleasures of simple spectacle.

Though not widely known outside Spanish-speaking audiences, the film fits into the 1960s wave of family pictures that helped define Marisol's screen persona as an upbeat child star. Fans of vintage Spanish cinema may appreciate its period details, musical touches, and the way it treats an animal as a gentle catalyst for community connection rather than mere comic relief.

Concrete box office records for the film are scarce and not widely reported. It appears to have had most of its audience in Spain at the time of release, drawing viewers who followed Marisol's films, rather than making a notable impact on international markets.
