Cantinflas Show is a Mexican animated television series produced by Televisa. The series was created by Mario Moreno 'Cantinflas' and animated by Spanish animator José Luis Moro, who animated the pilot episode in 1972.

Cantinflas, the main character, is present in popular stories like Samson and Delilah, and meets famous geniuses like Einstein and 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.

Episodes

The following list contains the episodes from the first season of Cantinflas Show.

Remake

In 1982, Hanna-Barbera produced a new version of the cartoon series, Cantinflas y Sus Amigos, titled in English-speaking countries as Amigo and Friends. Cantinflas himself reprised his role in Spanish, while Don Messick voiced the character in English, with Cantinflas' character renamed as "Amigo".

DVD release

In 2004, BCI released the shorts on DVD under the Cantinflas Show name; the DVD collection also included episodes of Amigo and Friends.
