Speedy Gonzales Speedy Gonzales Speedy Gonzales is an animated cartoon character in the Warner Brothers "Looney Tunes" and "Merrie Melodies" series of cartoons. He is portrayed as "The Fastest Mouse in all Mexico" with his major traits being the ability to run extremely fast, speaking with an exaggerated Mexican accent and also speaking Spanish. He usually wears a yellow "sombrero", white shirt and trousers (which was a common traditional outfit worn by men and boys of rural Mexican villages), and a red kerchief, similar to that of some traditional Mexican attires. To date, there have been 46 cartoons made either starring or
What a Cartoon! Dog", "Mike, Lu & Og", "Sheep in the Big City", "Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones?", "", "Grim & Evil" and "Megas XLR" as well as Fox's "Family Guy". The series is influential for birthing a slew of original Cartoon Network hits and helping to revive television animation in the 1990s. Once it had several original shorts, those became the first Cartoon Cartoons (a collective term for retro Cartoon Network original series). From 2005 to 2008, "The Cartoon Cartoon Show" was revived as a block for reruns of older Cartoon Cartoons that had been phased out by the network. Fred Seibert
