Superlópez contra el robot de bolsillo (translated as Superlópez Against the Pocket Robot) is a 2003 Spanish CGI animation short film directed by Enrique Gato and based on JAN's comics Superlópez.

Gato, fan of this comic series, wanted to make a homage at JAN work with a 3-minute animation film; although he tried to make a long duration film, that wasn't possible.[1]

The plot is about a battle on the street between the main character against a giant robot.[2][3]

Production

Gato tried to design the character by himself for make a few seconds animatics, although he tried making an adaptation as a designer before.[4][5] When he began writing the script, Gato tried to get a story (not very complicated) what the fans would like, so he divided the movie in six steps: prologue, Superlópez appears, enemy appears, both fight, ending and epilogue.

Reception

JAN gave Gato his permission to make the project. Despite admitting that he won't make the film by selfishness, has a strong friendship with the cartoonist.[6] After watching the short, JAN made a positive review[citation needed].
