Bucky and Pepito is a 1959 Western-themed animated television series produced by Sam Singer.[1] [2] [3]
The series is about two young boys. Bucky is an imaginative American child who wears a cowboy hat, and his Mexican friend Pepito is an inventor. Pepito's depiction has been criticized as conforming to racist stereotypes.[4]
The series is partially found. All episodes of the series have entered the public domain due to failure to renew the copyright.
