El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera was a trailblazer for Nickelodeon. As the first Nicktoon to be fully animated using after a few earlier experiments, the show became a pioneer and is now considered a landmark of early digital 2D animation. Created by the husband-and-wife team of Jorge R. Gutierrez and Sandra Equihua, the show's vibrant, hand-drawn style was deeply inspired by their love of Mexican culture.
