Tijuana Toads Cartoon 1970's

Tijuana Toads was a series of 17 theatrical cartoons produced and released through United Artists. The series was about two toads, Toro and Pancho ("Pancho y Rancho" in the Spanish-language version, and "Sancho und Pancho" in the German version), who live in the Mexican city of Tijuana. Throughout the cartoon they try to eat their prey, but always get out-smarted. They would sometimes themselves be targeted by a bird, and would in turn always out-smart him.



Friz Frieling had a lot to do with these cartoons, if that name sounds familiar, it's because he produced a large number of Looney Tunes & Merrie Melodies shorts for warner brothers. In 1976, NBC edited Tijuana Toads and renamed it Texas Toads to make the series less offensive. The toads' new names were Fatso and Banjo. (BOOO!)



All these are original TIJUANA toads.



I love these old racially "offensive" time-pieces, and this one is a classic. The art, the backround jazz, all screams 60s-70s animation. Also, if you notice,
