I have such fond memories of those Saturday mornings in the early ’90s, when my sister and I would jump out of bed, full of excitement, to watch our favorite cartoons. Shows like Oso Yogi, Los Picapiedras, and Alvin y las Ardillas became our weekend tradition, filling our hearts with joy and laughter. Those mornings felt like magic, and each cartoon was a world we eagerly stepped into.
Growing up in Latin America, like many kids of that era, I was used to hearing the voices of these beloved characters in Spanish. At the time, I had no idea that what I was watching was a dubbed version. It wasn’t until years later that I discovered the original English versions, and the realization was like stumbling upon a hidden treasure chest of new cartoons to explore!
Fast forward to today, and as a mother of three young children, I now have the joy of sharing these same classic cartoons with them. I’ve found that watching these shows in Spanish is a wonderful way to help them connect with the language, while also creating lasting memories. To make the experience even more enriching, I often add Spanish subtitles, especially for my older daughters, so they can practice reading along.
Below is a list of my all-time favorite Spanish-dubbed cartoons. I’d love to hear your thoughts—let me know if I’ve missed any timeless gems in the comments!
