Legend Quest (released in Latin America as Las Leyendas) is a Mexican animated fantasy comedy-horror television series created for Netflix produced by Ánima Estudios. This is the streaming network's first original animated series produced in Latin America.
It premiered worldwide on Netflix on February 24, 2017.
When gifted teen Leo and his town in Mexico is attacked by otherworldly creatures, he is cast astray along with his friends Teodora, Don Andres and Alebrije. Together, with a little help from some allies from around the world, they'll do anything they can to stop the evil overlord that plans to eradicate mankind from its history.
The series consists of 13 episodes, all of which were released on February 24, 2017.
The series was first announced when Variety reported that a new series based on the Leyendas franchise is being developed for Netflix. "We approached Netflix and knew that the trilogy had been successful in Mexico and Latin America, but we dared to propose to do something much more global and they loved the idea," said executive producer Jose C. Garcia de Letona. Negotiations between Netflix and Ánima Estudios have begun in October 2015. Co-executive producer Fernando de Fuentes was happy with the partnership with the streaming network after the growth of the Mexican animation industry. "We have already worked 15 years in the industry and we are happy to see our work on the Netflix platform, which has collaborated with large companies, and has included Ánima [which] makes us proud," said Fuentes. Fuentes also said that the show is "an important leap" for the franchise and production company Ánima Estudios.
The series premiered on Netflix on February 24, 2017 worldwide in 190 countries and translated into 24 to 30 languages. Producers Fernando de Fuentes and Jose C. Garcia de Letona thought the decision to release the show worldwide in multiple languages is necessary since the country of Mexico, in which where the show is produced and set, has been receiving more global attention. "The world is talking about Mexico and we are lucky in that sense to be able to talk about our country and its relationship with other nations[,] even if it is through cartoons," said Fernando de Fuentes.
