''Amigo and Friends'' (also known in Spanish as ''Cantinflas y Sus Amigos'') is an educational children's cartoon that was based on the Mexican cartoon series ''Cantinflas Show'' in 1979. The show, which concentrates on a wide range of subjects intended to educate children, follows Amigo, a little comical character from Mexico, who goes on educational adventures through time and space and gets to visit Shakespeare, see the ancient pyramids, and even travels to other planets. The animated Amigo is based on the legendary character, Cantinflas played by the Mexican actor and comedian Mario Moreno Reyes. The show was created and produced by Televisa, then known as Telesistema Mexicano. The company was also responsible for the distribution of the show in Mexico. In 1982, Hanna-Barbera Productions dubbed the series into English and retitled it ''Amigo and Friends'' and aired in syndication across the United States through Viacom Enterprises. The only two known actors were John Stephenson, who narrates each episode and Don Messick, who voiced Amigo. It was one of several Hanna-Barbera shows that featured famous Hollywood stars in cartoons, but in the case of 'Amigo', the project originated in Mexico with H-B handling and releasing the English version. The American animation company did cartoons featuring the Three Stooges (for The New Scooby Doo Movies and for The Robonic Stooges), Laurel and Hardy, and Abbott and Costello. ==''Amigo and Friends'' in other languages== * Le tour du monde de Cantinflas (A Trip of the World with Cantinflas) (French) * עמיקו וחבריו (Amiko Ve'Haverav) (Israeli) * 笑星和他的朋友们 (Comedian and his friends) (Chinese) * Amigo (Swedish) * Амиго приключения около планетата (Amigo priklyucheniya okolo planetata, Amigo's adventures around the planet) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amigo and Friends」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
