Ruy, the Little Cid is an animated adventure series produced by Spanish studio BRB Internacional and Televisión Española with animation by Japanese studio Nippon Animation. The series is based upon the life of El Cid, an 11th-century Spanish hero and was the first original project from Dogtanian creator Claudio Biern Boyd.

Synopsis

The story is about the imaginary adventures of the childhood of El Cid in Castile in the 11th century. At the beginning of each chapter there was a historical introduction of the moment: King Fernando I, always engaged in warfare against the rest of the peninsular kingdoms, had unified the Kingdom of Castile with that of León, something that was not accepted willingly by all the Leonese nobles. Meanwhile little Rodrigo (Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar or El Cid) dreams of being a brave knight.
