This cartoon film produced by Ángel Blasco (Magic Films), written and directed by Pedro Eugenio Delgado, has the artistic designs of Antonio Mingote, Spain’s most famous illustrator, member of the Spanish Academy, and a living legend in Spain. For this reason, the esthetic in this movie is far different from the kind of animation we are used to see. The color treatment, and characters’ richness and expression, in Mingote’s most pure style, make this film a new challenge that will definitively change the Spanish way of making animated cinema.

The script tells the story of two children, Paloma who is 12 years old and her 8 year old brother Alvaro. They both witness D. Isidro’ s last invention: a machine through which you may see images from the past. Mr. Isidro is the expert clockmaker and repairer of the huge engine at La Puerta del Sol in Madrid.

They get in the machine by accident and they travel along different periods in Spain’s history. They go from the stone age, the Roman occupancy, the building of El Escorial Palace, they meet a teenager Cervantes in Alcalá de Henares and they end up in the XIXth century where they see themselves involved in important events.

Puerta del Tiempo is an adventure film with epic moments.

This movie has probably had the most ambitious musical productions ever done in Spanish cinema. Navarro himself has managed the whole project counting in 130 musicians, between symphonic orchestra and choir, that have recorded in Tenerife Canary Islands, Spain) a 60 minutes soundtrack, composed, orchestrated and conducted by the author. Navarro chose the Orquesta Clásica de La Laguna, that had to be reinforced with many other professionals from La Orquesta Sinfónica de Tenerife , and the prestigious Coro Polifónico Universitario de Tenerife, with whom the composer had worked before obtaining fantastic results. Conducted by maestro Alfonso López Raymond, this formation has a prestige supported by international awards.

With the recording of this soundtrack Navarro has opened a new breach with regards to music for the cinema in Spain. He has proved that top level musical overproductions can be done in Spain, without having to go abroad, which is the current situation.
