Production

In an interview with El Universal, director Leopoldo Aguilar said the purpose of the film's story is to help the audience understand their roots and learn to accept them.[10] "Lucas is a teenager who lives this path, [and] he makes a trip to accept himself as the monster he is," Aguilar stated.[10] "I think everyone at that age went through that process - to know what place we occupy in the world and try to discover ourselves," he added.[10] Producer and Ánima COO José C. García de Letona mentioned about the film's "comedy and action" tone, in comparison to the Leyendas franchise.[10] "It has elements to differentiate from the Leyendas, and this one, since it is a film designed for something global and[...] the public that we want to reach, there's not much suspense," stated Aguilar.[10]

Animation

The film was animated entirely in computer-generated imagery,[11] done by India's Discreet Arts Productions which has previously collaborated with Anima Estudios' previous films including Guardians of Oz and Top Cat Begins.

Music

The film's original music was composed by Kevin Smithers.[1]

Release

To date, the film has been released in Mexico, United States, and the United Kingdom, as well as Asian territories including China and South Korea.[9]

The release in China marked a new first for production company Ánima Estudios, to which Leopoldo Aguilar stated that the film's story was created for a global setting, and not Mexico where the film was produced.[10] "Narratively[,] we wanted a funny story[...] that walks a lot without locating it in a place in Mexico[.] [I]t can be anywhere in the world[...] that already gives another face to the production," said Aguilar.[10]

Box office

The film debuted at #3 in Mexico, grossing $6.86 million (est. US$0.4 million) on its opening weekend.[12] It grossed a total of $18.9 million pesos.[3]

Reception

The film was met with negative reviews upon its release.[2][13][14] On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a score of 18%, classifying a "Rotten" rating.
