This cartoon was borderline RACIST. On the one hand, hey, cool, non-white kids that aren't Gary Coleman or a Cosby Kid having adventures on Saturday Morning! On the other hand? IT WAS A TERRIBLE CARTOON :( So while I praise this cartoon for having broken the racial boundaries of Saturday mornings, I simultaneously condemn it for being a poorly animated, poorly written half-hour commercial for a toy that was not portrayed as the toy it actually was. Who looked at a Rubik's Cube and said "Y'know what I wish? I wish this cube had a face and legs and it could do magic and talk like Emanuel Lewis! Dude that would ROCK!"

But hey, maybe this cartoon has some special place in your heart for this cartoon. Why not leave a few kind words in the comments below, and maybe even go vote for Rubik in our Best Cartoon of 1983 Poll!
