Teenage Fairytale Dropouts (also known as Generación Fairytale in Latin American Spanish) is an animated series created by Adolfo Martinez Vara and José C. Garcia de Letona. Loosely based on the 2003 Mexican animated film, Magos y Gigantes, the series was created and produced by Ánima Estudios and co-produced with SLR Productions, Home Plate Entertainment, and Telegael. It premiered on Seven Network in Australia on 31 December 2012. Although information about the show's premiere network in Mexico is yet to be announced, it premiered on digital platforms.
The show later premiered in the United States on the Hub Network on 31 May 2014. It subsequently was dropped and did not air its full run due to the October 2014 conversion of the network to Discovery Family.
Ánima Estudios has launched an official YouTube channel for the Spanish-language version of the show on 7 May 2015, with an English-language version being launched a week later on 14 May 2015.
The series takes place in a fairy tale-like setting. Three friends, Jeremiah, the son of the giant in Jack and Beanstalk and Trafalgar, the nephew of Merlin the Wizard, a wingless fairy named Fury, the daughter of Tooth Fairy, live through a tough life as teenagers and are determined to be themselves, despite their parents' orders and their fairy tale origins.
On 28 September 2011, Ánima Estudios has announced an international partnership with SLR Productions, Home Plate Entertainment, and Telegael and have green-lighted the show. "We’re thrilled to have such extraordinary partners on board for this series. I think what has really brought us together is a love for our quirky main characters," said Jose Carlos Garcia de Letona, Ánima Estudios’ executive VP. "Aussie kids will connect with the series – it is fun and quirky. It is a fresh spin on timeless classic characters.", said Suzanne Ryan, CEO of SLR Productions. According to Fernando de Fuentes, the series' producer, he said that, although the show is Mexican, it was designed for an English-language audience.
