¡Mucha Lucha!

¡Mucha Lucha! (later known as ¡Mucha Lucha!: Gigante for the third and final season) is a Mexican-Canadian-American animated television series that premiered on Kids' WB on August 17, 2002. It was created by Eddie Mort and Lili Chin and produced by Warner Bros. Animation. It is the first animated television series created with Adobe Flash, a program which became widely used as a medium for animation in the years following. The show was also seen on Teletoon in Canada, CITV, Pop Max and Disney XD in the UK, Nine Network in Australia and Cartoon Network worldwide (including the US). The show is set in Luchaville, a fictional Southern California town centered on lucha libre (nearly everyone in the town has a mask and costume and a signature move) and is essentially about the adventures of three children, Rikochet, Buena Girl, and the Flea, as they struggle through the Foremost World-Renowned International School of Lucha, where they study. In 2005, the direct-to-video feature film ¡Mucha Lucha!: The Return of El Maléfico was spun-off from the series.
