Mr. Rossi Looks for Happiness (in Italian Il signor Rossi cerca la felicità) is a 1976 traditionally animated Italian feature film directed by Bruno Bozzetto. It is the first feature film of Mr. Rossi.
Plot
Nothing is going right for Mr Rossi! Presto! A nutty, bumbling fairy comes to his "rescue" - just blow the magic whistle and he and his dog Harold can escape, far away from troubles, to lands long ago... The whistle takes them through the ages, but each tweet only brings new troubles! They barely "squeak" by with their lives as they meet fire-brtething dragons... hungry Roman lions... scalp-happy Indians... and Robin Hood's deadly arrows... whew! Well, the whistle is magic, but where's the happiness? Wait! Maybe, just maybe, if Mr. Rossi looks hard enough, right here, in his home, in this time...
Distribution
The movie was distributed in Europe and had a great success especially in East Germany in 1976 and in Spain in 1983.[citation needed]
