WB: "We removed Speedy as it might cause 'offensive to the Latin community' Latin community: "Yes.. you're right... we are offended alright" WB: "See..." Latin community: "We're offended at you WB for taking away our hero" WB: 😲
You mean Cartoon Network with no longer rerunning any short film released in theaters worldwide that Speedy Gonzales appeared in? Which Boomerang did the same thing as well.
I've always found it amazing how over the years (even dating back to his cartoons being taken off of CN in the 90s), every time someone tries to cancel Speedy for supposedly being offensive to Mexicans, the act of trying to cancel him ends up being what actually offends Mexicans. Like, it's hard to properly get across just how much Mexicans love the little dude, but there's countless examples out there.
Exactly he’s fast and quick he may not have a “good accent” or has the “stereotypical accent”but why does he need to have a “good accent”?, it’s like the people who cancelled him (white alt girls) are saying foreigners needs to stop having an accent speaking English 🤨 which is ACTUALLY offensive. I hope people don’t cancel him from being in space jam 2 he’s actually representing us and my full Mexican mother adores him :(
That's what's ridiculous. Most of the time it's people who aren't even Mexican (by descent or country of origin) who are complaining "on behalf" of the hypothetical people he's offending. 😓It seems like stuff like that happens a lot and it's really patronizing, honestly. I think Mexican culture is resilient enough to handle Speedy, thank you very much. 🙄
@@SwiftFoxProductions No it was not all Mexican but even other Latin American places they were the ones pushing to keep him, I know a person who did send a email letter in 2019 to WB to not cancel Speedy in the 2010 who was Mexican/Native American.
I am Mexican, and yes I can say I love Speedy Gonzalez. Also can I just point out that Speedy comes from a family of X-men. No other mouse has super speed so it isn't an ability native to mice like how road runners are fast. And even Slowpoke Rodriguez has Psychics powers.
I'm Mexican and I've never found the character as a negative stereotype. It was actually pretty cool to have a Mexican looney tune while growing up, and I was really disappointed to see him dropped form Cartoon Network. Mexican culture can often be self-deprecating, so we don't mind these types of things, rather we embrace them. But that's just one opinion.
_"Arriba! ¡Epa! ¡Epa! ¡Epa! ¡Ándale ¡Yeehaw!"_ As someone of Mexican descent including my family, Speedy Gonzalez is without a doubt one of my Top 5 favorite Looney Tunes characters. He may be a stereotype, but he's never offensive, in fact, in all of Latin America including Mexico, everyone especially the Mexicans love Speedy not because of his speed, but especially his determined and energetic positive personality, resulting in Speedy Gonzalez winning from his opponents (e.g. Sylvester, Daffy Duck, etc.), thus he's a positive stereotype. 🧀🐁🇲🇽🇲🇽 Thanks for the Cartoon Evolution History on the Fastest Mouse in of All of México Dave Lee and hope you save his voice evolution once _Space Jam: A New Legacy_ comes out in July. In addition, thank you for mentioning his blink-and you-miss cameo in _Who Framed Roger Rabbit._
Man speedy gonzales is a great character for cartoon mexican culture idk why some people from other countries hates him for being a stereotypical mexican character 🤷♂️🤔😕
But he’s fast and quick he may not have a “good accent” or has the “stereotypical accent”but why does he need to have a “good accent”?, it’s like the people who cancelled him (white alt girls) are saying foreigners needs to stop having an accent speaking English 🤨 which is ACTUALLY offensive.

I never saw Speedy as being a horrible stereotype. Okay, sure he’s got the bad accent and poor English, but he’s fast, heroic and extremely clever. Now, his cousin Slowpoke Rodriguez, I can understand, since he’s slow, lazy, and packs heat. 😂
Of course, Slowpoke does bring his gun when captured as what happened to that Cat (José) when he attempted to grab him only to be blasted in the face. 🔫 Even he hypnotized Sylvester in one cartoon short.
well of course he has to protect himself since he is slow. and personally i don't think he is lazy, he is just.... slow moving. heck, in The Looney Tunes Show, he is a sheriff.
I still love both of them sad how white alt girls cancelled speedy I hope he stays in space jam 2 speedy was representing us not insulting us if anything those white 14 year old girls are being offensive to us
If Dave were to do one on Taz, it's likely going to be a Cartoon Evolution shorts since when compared to the other Looney Tunes characters he only appeared in 6-7 shorts until he disappeared for almost 2 decades until the early 1980's and then gained a resurgence in popularity in the 1990's similar to Marvin the Martian.
@a Distraction Not just white liberals; it's mostly white liberal WOMEN (aka Karens) who are born in a society where they can get away with every crap they do while keep on whining on how oppressed they are. But let me recap a little: they think they know what is better for you regardless what you think, because they, somehow, think they are born with these superior moral ground, superior sensitivity and superior intelligence to even know what you, as Mexican, should think and be offended by. And they want to absolutely decide for you, because, after all they think "you're just a Mexican/minority" as if it was some kind of deficiency they don't have. Mmm... Correct me if I'm wrong, but that sound to me like an actual white suprematist by their definition, lol
I was lucky enough to have met and befriend Frank M Gonzales, after whom Speedy Gonzales was named. He was my neighbor for years before he died in 2014 in Kingman, Az. He was a very nice man and the story about the origin of Speedy's name is true.
Ah Speedy Gonzales will always be an icon and a beloved character! Despite the ' controversy' behind him, he is more respected than despised the world over!!!
Its great that he touches upon all the support AGAINST racist accusation he added to the video. With Speedy and Pepe being the faces of cultural controversy lately, videos like these need to be shown confirming the national support/popularity characters like them have.
Re: Pepe- and then to have the audacity to include Alex deLarge and his gang in friggin Space Jam 2... This makes me not only not respect the studio and the film but I can't take either one seriously. Its all one big terrible joke
@@SuperWolsey I wonder which brain let at Warner Bros had the idea to exclude Pepe for “promoting sexual assault” yet had the main characters from A Clockwerk Orange, characters who actually DID coming not just sexual assault but rape!

Yeah, his personality is kinda opposite of Speedy's, but he's not wholly a lazy dummy. The depicted clip shows Slowpoke's real character to a tee, allowing the viewer not to underestimate his slow demeanor, and see that though he's not fast, he is still able to watch out for himself, without the need of a secondary companion. Oddly enough, me describing Slowpoke made "Slow and steady wins the race" come to mind.
I absolutely love this character and a few things of note that I found interesting: -Speedy working at an assembly line makes sense because of his speed -Of force he would run a pizza restaurant that evolves a lot of cheese -I wish we got to hear Speedy in the Space Jam 2 trailer
Nice. I like the Speedy Gonzales cartoons that paired him with Sylvester. But I particularly like him in The Looney Tunes Show. I find it interesting that the higher-ups felt Speedy was bad, yet a lot of people of Mexican and Hispanic origin really like Speedy. I do like how Speedy is seen as more than just a Mexican mouse. I can't wait to see him in the Space Jam movie.
I'm Mexican-American, and absolutely LOVED the Looney Tunes cartoons growing up. And I still love them today. I NEVER once saw Speedy as a hurtful stereotype, neither did any of my family. He was/is quite frankly a hero to me and my family. He's proud, heroic, and clever. He played a huge role in me becoming proud of being Mexican, since I had identity troubles for a long time. But, I am so glad that the icon Gabriel Iglesias voiced Speedy in Space Jam 2. That was so cool.
@@robertsmithfan877 Cause he's a looney tune! The whole "friend of everyone's sister" thing, the tricks he plays on Sylvester, in The Looney Tunes Show he's great too! Always is very witty :) And I love mice characters!! He's so cute with his hat!!
I really liked Speedy in the sitcom Loony Toons Show; he always seemed to be the guy that Bugs & Daffy turned to when they needed advice. In that show he was a mouse of many talents.
Great to see Speedy getting seen more. Appreciated him for being fast and even though Daffy and Sylvester are my favorite characters, it's still fun to see them outwitted by the fastest mouse in all of Mexico. Also if you're not a part of the Latino culture, quit speaking for them, that's way more offensive than the bad you view of Speedy.
I love how you have started to do more evolutions of human characters. Please keep doing so. Don't get me wrong I like animal evolutions as well it's just that there is more of them then the rest! Thank you.
Another Speedy appearance you may like to look into is the song by Manolo Munoz that was remade in the early 2000s by Kumbia Allstars that featured him running around a bar flirting with ladies and enjoying a Mexican night out. It had rought animation but was fun to watch.
Speedy Gonzales is the fastest Mouse and heroic and smart and he must be great in Space Jam 2. I wish to see Pepe Le Pew in a Cartoon Evolution Short since he won't be in Space Jam 2 if that is all right.♥️🎆🎉😁
Speedy evem had his own game in the 90s. Speedy Gonzalez and The Los Banditos, made by Sunsoft for Super Nintendo (And I believe Sega Genesis) In the game, Sylvester and a group of cats captured all the mice in Mexico except for Slowpoke and Speedy. Slowpoke tells Speedy what happened and Speedy is off to save his mice friends. The game is a level based, fast pace platformer, sort of like games like Sonic the Hedgehog. Through out the levels, you'll rescue mice in cages that act as checkpoints and every so often, the level will consist of a boss battle. Random fact, because of how its gameplay is similar to Sonic the Hedgehog, the game was hacked and modified to change the characters, from Speedy to Sonic and the mice into Marios. The game would then be released as a bootleg, titled 'Sonic the Hedgehog 4.' This bootleg would be known for its very poor edits and performance.
Odd how Sylvester wasn’t the final boss in that game but there’s also the Game Boy Speedy Gonzales which played like Sonic but worse (hacked into Sonic 6 eventually) Also Los Gatos Bandidos never had a Genesis version. There was a different Speedy game for the Genesis but it was inferior to the SNES game
In 2010 there was talk of a live action Speedy Gonzales film, with comedian George Lopez voicing Speedy. The plot was after being raised by a human family Speedy sets out on his own to find his purpose in life.
Honestly I loved his appearance and design in Thr Looney Tunes Show, he was hilarious 👏🏼👍🏼As a Latino I'm very happy to representation in the form of Speedy, hope to see much more of him in the future ✌🏼Also nice informative video
Same! I really like Speedy, ever since I was a kid lol. It felt nice seeing representation in The Looney Toons Show, which was great cuz TLTS was one of my favorite shows and Speedy was one of my favorite characters 💕🇲🇽
Another great video! Love these history videos. Kind of surprised you didn't bring up the road runner crossover cartoon the wild chase where he raced speedy. It was a rare classic short with speedy and road runner teaming up.
Actually, had it not been for the Coyote and Sylvester’s input, Speedy would’ve won the race. Notice how in that cartoon, during the last few frames of Speedy and the Roadrunner, Speedy appears to be a little bit faster than the Roadrunner.
Crazy to think Speedy Gonzalez would be considered offensive, like someone's Tío years from now would be like, "No me gusta Taco Bell y el paisa ratón."
While those Daffy and Speedy cartoons were far from...well...good, Speedy manages to be in good form while Daffy becomes a victim of personality devolution. Though the weirdest thing about the Daffy/Speedy shorts to me was finding out that segment from the Bugs Bunny Howl-o-ween special was its own original cartoon. They just took the original Witch Hazel cartoon, traced over all of the witch's animation from the short, and just had Speedy turned into a witch with his voice coming out of her character for some reason. In the context of the special, it looked like cheap, reused footage that made that part of the special unintentionally hilarious. Anyway, I'm glad that they've been able to use Speedy in some degree recently. I really liked how the character was in The Looney Tunes Show with him being Bugs's confidant and a dedicated small business owner.
Welp. Guess we should send this correction to Leonard Maltin: "The idea for Speedy was hatched in a McKimson cartoon of 1953 called Cat Tails for Two, in which a dumb cat-and-dog team George and Lenny sneak onto a Mexican ship"
Again Great Nostalgia ! I even recall a version of Speedy of which he is in a red shirt and with no Sombrero.That's if I recall right a Benny and George Cartoon.
hey @@DaveLeeDownUnder did u know that Speedy Gonzalez is now a LEGO minifigure because LEGO made minifigures of Looney Tunes but i heard that Pepe Le Pew got tooken off of Looney Tunes it wasn't cool at all it was sad & terrible
Speedy is an amazing character never knew about him at a young age but then in a couple of years down the road he’s quite impressive so fast and zippy of this character like the Robin Hood of looney tunes
I remember hearing that Eugenio Derbez wanted to do the Speedy Gonzalez movie and have him voice the character, I would love to see him play that character, he’s one of my favorite Mexican comedians from my childhood and I always watched Derbez en cuando and XHDRBZ.
I hated how cartoon network dropped the idea of airing speedy gonzales shorts. Granted they actually did air back in 2002, but i don't think it's something to get offended over in the first place.
My favorite Looney Tunes character is Slowpoke Rodriguez, because the idea of an implied weed-smoking gun-toting mouse who can hypnotize people with his eyes is amusing to me
Most of people in my country (Mexico) love Speedy Gonzales, we also like Panchito from the 3 Caballeros... which reminds me...when we can have a Panchito evolution video?
@@DaveLeeDownUnder You only need to study the freeze-frame to see clearly that Lenny, the Big, dumb character and George, scrawny little character, are both indeed *CATS!* Leonard Maltin should go and see Specsavers and get himself new spectacles!

One of my favorite looney tunes character. That mouse always cracks me up 😂
Great video and very informative, Dave!
It would be nice if You had mentioned the Speedy Gonzales Biografia Toon segment that Cartoon Network did years ago
Another great video! Love these history videos. Kind of surprised you didn't bring up the road runner crossover cartoon the wild chase where he raced speedy. It was a rare classic short with speedy and road runner teaming up.
I can't wait to collect all the Lego Looney Tunes minifigures! It's a shame they excluded Elmer Fudd & Yosemite Sam because of their guns.

He was not given a significant role in space jam 2, he didn’t even play
My favorite Speedy's short is Speedy Gonzales
Speedy gonzales is my favorite looney toons character
*Speedy rocks!*
I want him to have a race with the Roadrunner.
Speedy and Roadrunner did actually race against each other in a Looney Tunes comic. I forgot which one it was though.
Spoiler alert!
They both tied.
@@financecat3306 I mean it wouldn't have been a winner anyway
He did
@@financecat3306 actually syvelster and wile coyote won
Actually, had it not been for the Coyote and Sylvester’s input, Speedy would’ve won the race. Notice how in that cartoon, during the last few frames of Speedy and the Roadrunner, Speedy appears to be a little bit faster than the Roadrunner.
Crazy to think Speedy Gonzalez would be considered offensive, like someone's Tío years from now would be like, "No me gusta Taco Bell y el paisa ratón."
Even though I’m not Mexican but I’m Hispanic, I never find him offensive, he one of my favorite looney tunes characters!
Fun fact in the movie dazed and confuse there’s a scene with a speedy plus on a characters bed
We could've waited one more year for the classic funni number. We were *this* close to greatness...
While those Daffy and Speedy cartoons were far from...well...good, Speedy manages to be in good form while Daffy becomes a victim of personality devolution. Though the weirdest thing about the Daffy/Speedy shorts to me was finding out that segment from the Bugs Bunny Howl-o-ween special was its own original cartoon. They just took the original Witch Hazel cartoon, traced over all of the witch's animation from the short, and just had Speedy turned into a witch with his voice coming out of her character for some reason. In the context of the special, it looked like cheap, reused footage that made that part of the special unintentionally hilarious. Anyway, I'm glad that they've been able to use Speedy in some degree recently. I really liked how the character was in The Looney Tunes Show with him being Bugs's confidant and a dedicated small business owner.
2:05 Correction: Benny is a cat.
Welp. Guess we should send this correction to Leonard Maltin:
"The idea for Speedy was hatched in a McKimson cartoon of 1953 called Cat Tails for Two, in which a dumb cat-and-dog team George and Lenny sneak onto a Mexican ship"
Again Great Nostalgia ! I even recall a version of Speedy of which he is in a red shirt and with no Sombrero.That's if I recall right a Benny and George Cartoon.
Who remembers when Peter Griffin made an American equivalent of Speedy Gonzales "Rapid Dave"?
😂😂
hey @@DaveLeeDownUnder did u know that Speedy Gonzalez is now a LEGO minifigure because LEGO made minifigures of Looney Tunes but i heard that Pepe Le Pew got tooken off of Looney Tunes it wasn't cool at all it was sad & terrible
Make the evolution of Pepe Le Pew and Penélope Pussycat 💘 please 💕

@@Wberdly555 kkk
YAAAS THATS WAIT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!!!
I can't wait for Gabriel Iglesias' portrayal of Speedy Gonzales in Space Jam A New Legacy!!!
Fluffy?
@@SuperWolsey Yessir!!
Speedy is an amazing character never knew about him at a young age but then in a couple of years down the road he’s quite impressive so fast and zippy of this character like the Robin Hood of looney tunes
I remember hearing that Eugenio Derbez wanted to do the Speedy Gonzalez movie and have him voice the character, I would love to see him play that character, he’s one of my favorite Mexican comedians from my childhood and I always watched Derbez en cuando and XHDRBZ.
Nice video evolution.👍👍👍
I’ve never been interested in the character,but I’m interested in this video
Love the video
Best Looney Tunes character
My favourite looney tunes character
Ladies and gentlemen he did it !
Great videos very informative
I want to make a suggestion do tasimain devil and granny?
He’s such a good alternative to other looney tunes
I hated how cartoon network dropped the idea of airing speedy gonzales shorts. Granted they actually did air back in 2002, but i don't think it's something to get offended over in the first place.
My favorite Looney Tunes character is Slowpoke Rodriguez, because the idea of an implied weed-smoking gun-toting mouse who can hypnotize people with his eyes is amusing to me
Trying to cancel speedy is like trying to cancel captain America
I like Speedy wearing a Zorro outfit.
Most of people in my country (Mexico) love Speedy Gonzales, we also like Panchito from the 3 Caballeros... which reminds me...when we can have a Panchito evolution video?
Too bad we never got to see Panchito and Speedy in the same scene. We did get to see Jose and Speedy together in Roger Rabbit, though.
Top three looney tune characters I never heard of
Speedy Gonzales first appearance deserves to win the Academy Award in 1955.
In "Cat-Tails For Two" the characters, Lenny and George are *BOTH* cats! Study a freeze-frame and you'll see they are both cats!
Leonard Maltin would disagree with you.
@@DaveLeeDownUnder You only need to study the freeze-frame to see clearly that Lenny, the Big, dumb character and George, scrawny little character, are both indeed *CATS!* Leonard Maltin should go and see Specsavers and get himself new spectacles!
I was never really offended I just wanted to be fast like him.
Speedy's always been up there with Bugs and Foghorn as one of my favorite Tunes, I love the little guy 😁
Speedy: Aruiba!!! Aruiba!!! Sylvester: breavhing hevaly
“you don’t miss that person you just miss the feeling” - idk someone wrote it on a bathroom stall omg thanks for the likes
I want speedy Gonzales back!
Speedy is no insult I remember we used to use speedy in conversation but in Spanish we’d reference him
That’s right! the fastest mouse in all Mexico is back!
I’m Mexican and he’s my hero 😍💝
Always was one of my favorite
Great video 👍
Cool vid, can you do an Alvin and the Chipmunks evolution next?
You should do a history of bosko
Okay I know he hasn’t been around for actual decades but he’s an important piece of Looney Tunes history
I freaking love Speedy so much. He's been my favorite cartoon character for a very long time.
Do a Lola Bunny, Pepe Le Pew, FogHorn LegHorn, and More Looney Tunes Cartoon Evolution Please and I Hope Speedy Will Levon
Very hard to make a Lola one isn't it? She's only been around for 25 years and very limited material
I know this is a Sensitive subject. But can you please do a Cartoon Evolution on Mammy 2 Shoes from Tom & Jerry. Greatly Appreciated.
