Animated Race: 15 (and more!) Latino animated characters

In the vein of my other post about Native-American animated characters, I decided to find and post 15 prominent Mexican/Latino characters. Actually, there’s more than 15, since some shows have an entire cast of Latino characters, but I’m only featuring the lead(s) in those cases.

During the development of Dragonball: Evolution, a ton of people were taking shots at the movie for their lack of casting Asian actors as the characters from the popular anime show. While most people were perturbed at Goku being played by Justin Chatwin, some people (and I mean just a few) were actually weirded...
