The ABC Museum in Madrid has delayed the opening of the Animación.es exhibition until September.
The collection includes mythical series from popular culture such as David, the Gnome (1985), D'Artagnan (1982) and Willy Fog (1983), which were all created by Majorcan Claudio Biern Boyd who’s better known as the 'Spanish Walt Disney’ and founder of the BRB Internacional studio.
The first series of cartoons devised by the Majorcan Producer, Screenwriter and Audiovisual Director was Ruy, the little Cid, which was released in 1980.
