Production notes
This was the first animated series produced entirely in Spain. At the time, it held the record for the most expensive Spanish TV series; production cost the equivalent, in modern currency, of 11 million Euros.
Backgrounds were made in the form of over 2,000 tempera-on-pasteboard paintings (using airbrushes and paintbrushes). These illustrated not only the surroundings of Don Quijote, but utensils, machinery, architecture, interior, decoration, furniture and household goods of Spain in the 16th and 17th centuries. These backgrounds formed part of a traveling show, "Cervantes Encantado" ("Cervantes Delighted").
This was the only time that famed Spanish actor Fernando Fernán Gómez portrayed Don Quijote on screen (with the exception of a 1972 spoof, "Don Quijote cabalga de nuevo").
The series aired in 130 countries and 31 languages. Besides European languages, these included Mandarin, Afrikaans, Bahasa Indonesia, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Turkish and Farsi.
The series was recut into a feature film consisting of two 90-minute parts. It was produced by Santiago Romagosa and directed by Cruz Delgado Jr.
