About the show

El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera (also often shortened to El Tigre) is an animated superhero comedy television series created by Jorge R. Gutiérrez and Sandra Equihua for Nickelodeon and produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio in association with Mexopolis. It was the network's first series primarily animated using Adobe Flash. The series centers on a 13-year-old boy named Manny Rivera, better known as "El Tigre", who is the son of a legendary hero known as "White Pantera" and the grandson of an evil super villain known as "Puma Loco". Manny tries his best to choose between being good or evil while dealing with bizarre enemies, aiming to gain his belt's buckle to become a tiger-themed superhero. The show is set in Miracle City, a fictional city based on and located at Tijuana, Baja California, where Gutierrez grew up and Equihua was born.

El Tigre first aired as a sneak peek on February 19, 2007, before officially premiering on March 3, 2007 on Nickelodeon and aired its first 22 episodes until June 20, 2008. The show was then moved to Nickelodeon's spinoff network, Nicktoons, where it aired its remaining four episodes from August 7, 2008, to September 13, 2008. El Tigre won a total of five Daytime Emmy Awards and two Annie Awards. Additionally, it has spawned several merchandise, including home media and digital releases, a video game, an art book, and for a brief time, a collection of fast food toys.
