Magos y Gigantes

Magos y Gigantes is a 2003 Mexican animated fantasy comedy film produced by Ánima Estudios and 20th Century Fox, and released on November 19, 2003. Directed by Andrés Couturier and Eduardo Sprowls C., it was the first theatrically released animated film created with Adobe Flash. It was also the first Mexican animated feature in 30 years.
It stars Xóchitl Ugarte, Rossy Aguirre and Trujo as the voices of Gigante, Ada and Trafalgar, respectively. The main antagonist, Titán Caradura, is played by actor and comedian Arath de la Torre. Also featured are actors Gaby Ugarte, Francisco Colmenero, Moisés Iván Mora and Miguel Couturier.
The film, set in a magical village inhabited by colorful beings and creatures that are part of a medieval kingdom, follows the story of Gigante, Ada and Trafalgar, three misfit children who join forces to rescue Princess Luna, daughter of the kingdom's rulers. At the same time, they must recover a powerful magic scroll and defeat Titán Caradura, a young sorcerer who wants to steal the magic of the villagers to become powerful and take over the kingdom.
An animated series loosely based on the film, Awesome Magical Tales, premiered in 2012.

Release

The film was released in theaters on November 19, 2003, in Mexico, produced by Ánima Estudios and distributed by 20th Century Fox Mexico. The film was produced in flash animation, which is the first animated film to be released theatrically, using that animation.

Box office

The film opened #4 behind The Matrix Revolutions, Freaky Friday, and 21 Grams, grossing $4,531,492 pesos on its opening weekend in Mexico. The film later bombed at the domestic box office, due to an unsuccessful competition with more-successful animated releases in Mexico.
