Cantinflas Show is a Mexican animated television series produced by Televisa, Dimex and Producciones Carlos Amador. The series was created by Mario Moreno 'Cantinflas' and animated by Spanish animator José Luis Moro, who animated the pilot episode in 1972.[1]
Cantinflas, the main character, is present in popular stories like Samson and Delilah, and meets famous geniuses like Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison. It can clearly be seen that the Mexican comedian improvised his script, which adds the comedy relief, especially in his conversations with each episode's character.
The show was syndicated in the United States in two forms. The first, which aired as Amigo and Friends, dubbed the episodes in English. The second version used the original title, and distributed the episodes in both English and Spanish.[2]
The show was dubbed into six languages, and was very successful in international distribution.[2] The series Amigo and Friends and Cantinflashow are currently distributed by the worldwide copyright holder Veracruz Media LLC.
