Speedy Gonzales is an
animated cartoon character in the
Warner Brothers Looney Tunes and
Merrie Melodies series of cartoons. He is portrayed as "The Fastest Mouse in all
Mexico" with his major traits being the ability to run extremely fast and speaking with an exaggerated
Mexican accent and also speaking
Spanish. He usually wears an oversized yellow
hat of Mexican charro, white shirt and trousers (which was a common traditional outfit worn by men and boys of rural Mexican villages), and a red
kerchief, similar to that of some traditional Mexican attires. To date, there have been 46 cartoons made either starring or featuring this character.
