History Trivia / ElSantos

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The film was originally planned as a CGI movie, but due to the [[UncannyValley final results]], they decided to use traditional animation instead.

* ActorSharedBackground: Besides being Trino's AuthorAvatar, El Santos shares many details with him, along them being soccer fans, especially from [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_Atlas Club Atlas]], being from Jalisco (especifically from Ajijic, near the Chapala Lake, when Trino lives) and being both foul-mouthed. The only trait Trino does not share with Santos is being a {{Jerkass}}, since Trino is famous for being a pretty nice guy in RealLife.

* BoxOfficeBomb: The film bombed hard against other foreign films, with a box office of about $600,000 dollars just in Mexico.

** El Santos was originally taller and fatter and less prone to use profanity than his latter incarnations, not to mention the humor was more of the normal (albeit a bit wierdier) type.

* AlanSmithee: A very ''weird'' case: Rather than being the voice actors the ones using alias for hiding their identities, it's the '''animation studio''' the one using an alias instead: The movie is animated by Anima Studio, under the ''Peyote Films'' name (the ones who worked in the animated adaptation of ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho'' and the WesternAnimation/TopCat's recent animated movie) and the reason for doing that ([[WordOfGod according with both Trino and Jis]]) is because they don't want to have any problems with any potential clients if they find out they worked in [[ToiletHumor such a movie like this]].

* HeyItsThatVoice: The original voice acting for the animated movie includes many Mexican movie actors, including some world-famous names like director ''Creator/GuillermoDelToro'' (he voices Gamborino Ponx, [[spoiler:a talking '''[[TalkingPoo hemorrhoid]]'''.]]) and even ''[[Creator/CheechAndChong Cheech Marin]]''![[note]]And being the first time he plays a role in a foreign film in Spanish, despise not being able to speak that language.[[/note]] The titular character is voiced by Daniel Gimenez Cacho, who many non-Mexican viewers can recognize him as [[Film/GetTheGringo Javi]].
** Another interesting tidbit is, unlike many other Mexican animated films, this one ''does not use professional dubbing voice actors'' (the ones who dubs foreign media) and relies entirely in [[CelebrityVoiceActor famous actors]] instead. This is possibly was intentional, since the movie is geared towards adult audiences and, since in Mexico, the AnimationAgeGhetto trope is still quite strong, using famous actors rather than dubbing actors gives more credibility to the movie and avoids being tagged as a kiddie movie, not to mention that many Mexican dubbing [=VA=] normally refuses to work in stuff that uses too many [[ClusterFBomb profanity]] and excessive ToiletHumor.
