Defensor 5 (Spanish: Defensor 5: la última patrulla, Defensor 5: The Last Patrol) is a Spanish computer-animated sci-fi television series produced by Anima2 and aired on La 2 as part of its children's block TPH Club in 2001. The first CGI-animated series in Spanish history, it was conceived by Spanish TV personality Emilio Aragón.
Production
The series was a co-production between Anima2 (later Crea Anima), RTVE and Grupo Auna's digital terrestrial television platform Quiero TV. By November 2000, the series was finished and ready for broadcast and was presented on 22 November that year. A feature film was also a possibility, even though it would lead to the remaking of core assets. Like with the other series Emilio Aragón produced, his companies were in charge of merchandising. As part of the co-production agreement, it aired on one of Quiero's channels before airing on La 2 free-to-air.[2] Each episode cost 50 million pesetas (US$250,000) to produce.[3]
