This five-part miniseries used to be shown in the Latin American feed of Cartoon Network back then in the year 2004, being one of their first original series from this side of the world.
I must confess I never watched any of El Santo movies in my life, but I did enjoy watching this series, considering it almost on par with the regular Cartoon Network programming from the era, if not better.
Rewatching as an adult, I appreciate its adventurous charm, having a certain feel akin to old serials.
While the plot ended with a sequel hook, unfortunately no more episodes were made, and there was no more El Santo animations.
But at least Cartoon Network Latam eventually produced a new animated miniseries inspired by Rey Mysterio, another masked wrestler, named "Rey Mysterio vs. The Darkness".
