Amigo and Friends, also known in Spanish as Cantinflas Show, Cantinflas y Sus Amigos, or simply Cantinflas, was an educational children's cartoon which was originally made in Mexico in the 1970s.
The show, which concentrated on a wide range of subjects intended to educate children, followed Amigo, a little Mexican character, who goes on educational adventures through time and space and got to visit Shakespeare, see the ancient pyramids, and even traveled to other planets.
The animated Amigo was based on the legendary character Cantinflas played by the Mexican actor and comedian Mario Moreno Reyes.
In the 1980s, Hanna-Barbera dubbed the series into English and retitled it to Amigo and Friends.
