Chema and Dolores' mother decides to give in to complete a ritual Tin Marín was conducting, in exchange for her children.

As their father and the rest of the team attempt to stop Tin Marín, the place collapses and kills Chema and Dolores' parents in the process.

Tuerkas introduces Chema to the remaining Liga de los 5 team members: Catrina, a living skeleton who can manipulate bones and use them under her will; Tetlepanquetzal (or Tetle for short), an Aztec warrior who can turn into any animal he touches; and Tuna Guzmán, a lucha libre wrestler whose body can produce spines and cactus sap.

Chema, Catrina, and Tetle go to recruit Tuna; as he gets into and argument with his employer, Tuerkas informs the team that Tin Marín is at the Museum of Anthropology getting his hands on a dagger needed for a ritual.

The film has been in development at Mexico City-based Ánima, which worked on such animated content as El Chavo Animado and the Leyendas franchise.

[11] During an interview with Proceso, he explains the goal to make the first superhero film of Mexico and said that "[...]we thought about our opportunity to include ourselves in this train, and from there the story and the characters took shape”.

The film uses the 2D tween ("flash") animation format with computer-generated backgrounds for certain sequences, making it the first original 2D feature production from Ánima outside of their Leyendas franchise since 2012.

Regina Blandón, voice of Dolores has expressed during an interview with El Sol de Mexico the complexity of her voice role, saying that "[...]it's a challenge, it's too complex[...] This particular project caught my attention for the opportunity to do dubbing.”[13] As a fan of animation, Blandón said that she also faced the challenge of recording her character's lines as she must have a tone similar to a 15-year-old, which her character is aged.

It was about channeling my "chavita" voice and I think it was achieved; [i]t was a new experience and a great acting challenge.”[13] Pablo Borghi has composed music for the film with an orchestral performance in Bratislava, Slovakia.
