 An animated sequence within family footage on the First Communion of a child called Mercedes Cura is thought to be the first piece of animation made in Spain.For a long time "El toro fenómeno" (Fernando Marco, 1917), which was lost, was considered the first Spanish animated production, but nowadays "El apache de Londres", also lost, is thought to date from 1915, and thus the centenary of Spanish animation was held in 2015.They were immediately followed by other shorts, including political satires.
