Production

The film's animation was done by Discreet Arts Productions in India and co-produced by Ánima Estudios. "We believe the ideal medium for this ambitious story was the use of 3D, hence the effort to use this technique for the first time in one of our movies," said producer Jose C. Garcia de Letona.

In addition to writing the story, Jorge R. Gutiérrez, along with his wife, Sandra Equihua, have designed the characters. In an interview with Cartoon Brew, he told them that "working with the amazing Mexican artists at Ánima Estudios was a blast! This film is yet another encouraging sign of the endless talent currently brewing in my beloved Mexico."

In 2023, a user tweeted Jorge asking about his experience working on the film, in which he answered "Not very good. The script we wrote was completely rewritten and the character designs we did were for a Flash movie, not CG. This happened after El Tigre and before The Book of Life. Out of respect for all the amazing people on it I have never seen it."
