Gladiator Academy (Spanish: Academia de Gladiadores) is a children's animated television series created by Claudio Biern Boyd, who also created The World of David the Gnome. The series was targeted to children who are 6 to 10 years of age (and in many cases, 11 years of age)[1] and premiered on Telecinco in 2002. It was a co-production between Telecinco and Boyd's company BRB Internacional.[2]

The show was made available on Mediaset Spain's MiteleKids website in 2013.[3] In North America, Gladiator Academy was added to the Toon Goggles on-demand service for children.[4] Internationally, the series was picked up by MVS Comunicaciones in Latin America, Mediatrade in Italy, NOGA in Israel, and Turkish Media Corporation in Turkey.[5]

  • Rumpus (Carlos Pascual (Spanish), Bill Fagerbakke (English)): A very kind and large gladiator with the strength to lift rocks with just one hand, but he is not very quick-witted.
  • Hocus (Oriol Roca (Spanish), Chris Tucker (English)): The group's shortest member with a knack for coming up with good ideas and is very logical.
  • Sinus (Cristina Figueras (Spanish), Philece Sampler (English)): An eight-year-old boy who governs Cornucopia, he is very responsible for his age.
