Ánima Estudios' first 2D animated feature production outside of the "Leyendas" since 2012.
Unlike El Chapulín Colorado (1973), who is often considered to be a superhero, "La liga de los 5" is the first legitimate superhero film since the characters appear to have actual supernatural powers.
As it is described, it is the first film produced in Mexico to utilize the superhero genre, similar to the Marvel films.
Many crew members from Netflix's Legend Quest (2017) and Legend Quest: Masters of Myth (2019) have worked on the film.
