The production company was founded in 1991 by Josep Lluís Viciana , who had previously worked for D'Ocon Films on series such as Los Aurones and Los Fruittis.[1]

History[edit]

The first work of the new studio was the short film series Balín , offered on TVE and later on Club Super 3.[2] This was followed by two animated series: Detective Bogey (1994-1996), based on an original idea by Viciana, and The Ugly Duckling (1997-1998), an adaptation of the story of the same name by Hans Christian Andersen. Both were broadcast on the children's programming blocks of La Primera and La 2.[3]

Starting in 2000, Neptuno began producing cartoon series for regional television , mainly TV3. The studio's greatest success was La vaca Connie (2003-2007), sold to more than ten countries, although other works also stood out such as La brigada de los sepultureros (2000), Bandolero (2001, produced for Canal Sur Televisión ), The costumes by Dougie (2006-2008) and the co-productions Princesses of the Sea (2007), Chuck Chicken (2011) and Meganimals (2012).[3]

Neptuno Films has been in the process of liquidation since February 2017.[4]
