Chicos de Barrio is a band from Torreón (a city in the mexican state of Coahuila) who compossed and performed the Mucha Lucha theme.
That said, Chicos del Barrio/Kids Next Door IS very popular in Mexico and LatAm, the 10/10 dub work helped a lot, the comedy was culturally translated seamlessly. And let's be real, it's source English version was already amazing, it was a slamdunk of a cartoon.
I am. I was surprised myself. I can respect them trying to go for the other extreme in teens, where they actually still look like kids and not young 20 year olds playing freshmen, but particularly the episodes where they hung out with the older teens it came across less of younger teens hanging with them and more little kids trying to hang with the big kids.
Part of me wishes I was born earlier so I could have been part of that early wild west of digital animation before everything became standardized. Good things came from standardizing, but like with video games, having everyone use the same software/engine homogenizes a lot of it.
I barely remember this show. Did every character have some sort of power related to their lucha persona, or not? I remember Rikochet could turn into a ball, but literally nothing else.
Is this the single most Mexican scene in an American cartoon? I wonder if people born after 1990 remember who these two are. I grew with this because my dad loved those movies but never heard anyone my age talk about them.
im from 96
grandma used to have a lot of movies about these two, and i used to watch them with her you have to love how cheesy some of the old mexican movies are
I'll never forget that time I randomly heard it playing from a truck in Mexico.
well chicos de barrio is pretty big in mexico (duh)
I knew Mucha Lucha was popular, but Kids Next Door too? Dang, Mexicans have good taste.

Huh, neat! Love behind the scenes trivia like that. Thanks for sharing.
KND was popular, but he in not talking about those Chicos del Barrio.

>The cutest character has the most vicious virtual avatar
I love this trope.
epic song epic thread
for me its GIGANTE
Every time I saw this show I couldn't stop thinking of Thumb Wrestling Federation for some reason.
The hypnosis scene is hot
She's twelve
Out of 10
Indeed. Too young by Cinemaphile's standards.
She is? I always thought they were like 6-8 with those little bodies. Is this another Gravity Falls situation?
Wait you're telling me this semon demon is 13!?

You're close. Apparently she's 9 according to Wikipedia.
Gonna share this neat behind the scenes look at the show.

Damn.
Nice
mucha lucha was fricking 2001? jesus man
I barely remember this show. Did every character have some sort of power related to their lucha persona, or not? I remember Rikochet could turn into a ball, but literally nothing else.
Also, the flea kid had the best outfit.
Every luchador had a special move.
a minor detail but i like how Buena Girl has fangs, too bad that was details was lost and/or not consistent
Carlos Alazraqui's Rikochet > Jason Marsden's Rikochet
The animation has not aged great but it's understandable because it's not just a tv flash cartoon from 2002, it was the first
I remember this show being really fricking cool but not much else. Did Ricochets grandfather run on electricity?

Luchador movies are definitely cheesy, Cantinflas movies had way more budger.
I've been listening to the theme over and over for the last 2 days. Shit was hype.
