Clanners is a Spanish children's animated short-form series aired on Televisión Española's Clan channel produced in 2011 and 2012. It debuted on 23 May 2011.^[1]

The series focuses on the fictional inhabitants of a parallel universe which are called Clanners; the first Clanner was created when a human DNA molecule merged with a quantum of electromagnetic energy inside a computer. This similarly happened with other types of DNA molecules and electronics, thus creating the Clanners and their world.^[2] The Clanners have traits of humans, animals or robots, and have a curiosity of the human world. The Clanners are divided into four tribes: Minisapiens (humanoid beings), Biotron (beings with characteristic animal features), Amorfix (beings made of liquid), and iTrops (futuristic robots), but are nevertheless together. One of the Clanners, Render, is the only one that can access the human world, and will bring any object to the Clanners world that interests him and for others to learn from.^[3][4]

The band Maldita Nerea recorded a song titled "Bienvenido a nuestro Clan" for the show.^[5] El Chojin and La Oreja de Van Gogh also contributed to the show's first music album. India Martínez sings the song "Mi mejor regalo eres tu" included on the second album Suma y sigue.^[6]

The show won the Mejor Personaje Infantil award at the 2012 Festival El Chupete.^[7]
