Awesome Magical Tales

Awesome Magical Tales (also known as Teenage Fairytale Dropouts in the first season) is an animated series created by Adolfo Martinez Vara and José C. Garcia de Letona.

[2][3] Inspired by the characters from the 2003 Mexican animated film, Magos y Gigantes,[4] the series was created and produced by Ánima Estudios and co-produced with SLR Productions, Home Plate Entertainment and Telegael Teoranta.

On 28 September 2011, Ánima Estudios announced an international partnership with SLR Productions, Home Plate Entertainment and Telegael Teoranta, and green-lighted the show.

This is a strong collaboration among extremely creative co-production partners and the commitment to quality is apparent” said Bill Schultz, Executive Producer and CEO at Home Plate Entertainment.

[16] This show is based on the character profiles from Ánima Estudios' first film, Wizards and Giants, according to series' creator José C. García de Letona.

[20][21] Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media gave the show 4 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Teenage Fairytale Dropouts delivers some really admirable messages through three teen characters who are floundering their way through growing up.

Sure, it has fun with the fact that Fury's still waiting to "develop" her wings and Jeremiah's small stature is almost comical given his genetic giantism, but the ultimately none of these issues puts a dent in the teens' solid self-esteem.

What's more, while each story puts the characters in a rebellious situation of some kind (borrowing the family's golden goose without permission or misusing magic, for instance), there's always an obvious consequence and some positive lesson to be learned from the experience.
