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 ($398,023 USD) 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.
