animator on The Silver Brumby, and as a clean-up artist for Skippy: Adventures in Bushtown. Chin and Mort launched Fwak! Animation, a Sydney-based animation studio, in 2000. Through Fwak!, Mort and Chin made the short Lucha School in 2001, which featured a fourth character that never made it into the series "Psiclone". Lucha School would then be pitched to Warner Bros. Animation and Bardel Entertainment in the early 2000s. Bardel Entertainment would later produce the animation for shows like Teen Titans Go! and Rick and Morty. The pitch was a success, and Kids' WB gave the show the green light afterwards. It was often regarded as one of the first fully-made flash cartoons produced for television. However, it is not the first flash animated television series in general; as that honor went to the 2001 short-lived television series John Callahan's Quads!, which was exclusive to Teletoon and the Special Broadcasting Service. The second flash television series was Max & Ruby, another Canadian animated series. However, ¡Mucha Lucha! was still considered the first fully-made flash animated series for American television, and was also the first truly successful flash television series. During production, the entire series was produced in widescreen. However, it was aired with an SD format. The widescreen version was never released to the public until it became available for streaming. Several show creators did end up working on the show before moving on to other projects, including Ciro Nieli, who would later create Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012), as well as Julie McNally-Cahill and Timothy Cahill, who later created My Gym Partner's a Monkey and Littlest Pet Shop (2012), as well as Sandra Equihua and Jorge R. Gutierrez, who later created El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera. By season 2, the series marked Peter Hastings' return to Warner Bros. During the first season, ¡Mucha Lucha! would provide morals at the beginning of episodes through title cards. Rikochet, Buena Girl, and the Flea would give viewers statements on what a true luchador would do. For example, Rikochet gives a true luchador statement in the first episode "Back to School", and the statement goes like this: "A True Luchador knows the only thing to fear is fear itself. Oh, and bullies." These statements were not shown in the following seasons. Music Original music score The theme song was performed by Chicos de Barrio,
