Roy del espacio (English: Roy of Space or Roy from Space) is a 1983 Mexican animated science fiction film produced and directed by Hector López Carmona, Rafael Ángel Gil and Ulises Pérez Aguirre.[1] Produced from 1979 to 1982,[1] it is one of the first feature-length Mexican animated films ever made.[2][3] Its plot follows the titular Roy, who, along with Dr. Faz and psychologist Elena, travels to a distant planet and faces an evil emperor who wants to conquer the Earth.[4][5] Roy del espacio premiered on 3 March 1983, playing in several theatres in Mexico.[1]

Retrospective reviews of Roy del espacio have referred to it as "an example of artistic ineptitude"[6] and "a real disaster".[7] It is now considered a lost film; only still images from the film are known to survive.[8]
