Production

Animex Producciones was in charge of coordinating the production which involved several animation studios in Mexico, including Grupo EsComic! and Estudio Haini.

Box office

This film was a box-office failure, due to an unsuccessful competition with James Cameron's Avatar.[1]

Character name dispute and lawsuit

On October 10, 2009, Rolando Tamayo sued director Ricardo Arnaiz over the film's plagiarized characters called "Nikté", "Kan" and "Kin".[2][3] in 2019 the film was considered illegal by Instituto Mexicano de Propiedad Industrial after it used already existing characters without the owner's consent.
