Before there was Dora the Explorer...

There was Rubik's Cube. I am willing to bet this was the first U.S. English cartoon featuring a primarily Hispanic/Latino cast of characters. I don't remember much about the individual episodes but I knew that the people were Hispanic. The accents were sometimes annoying as heck, but the cartoon filled the time well, especially if the Smurfs were running a repeat story. Like any Toy gimmick cartoon it was three years past its freshness date and doomed to being cancelled after 13 episodes. Dora the Explorer seems to borrow a lot from Rubiks Cube, particularly because it relies on inanimate objects that will on occasion talk to people.
