After hearing a fact that the creator of 'The Book Of Life' also produced this particular show, i decided to go on it's web-page on Nicktoons.com to see what lies in there for me. When i saw some episodes, never i thought that it would've blown me away.To start off on my review, ill start with the most important element of any cartoon; The Story. It tells the life of a 13-year old boy named Manny Rivera, A young super-hero who is the son of a hero known as White Pantera, but unfortunately the son of a villain known as Puma Loco. Due to this, Manny Rivera's superhero alter-ego has to choose a side: Good or Evil. What makes the writing good is just how complex the Manny himself is (which I'll get into later) and how creative the writing can be with the premise of each episode. The only catch is that sometimes the story structure can get messed up and can be left with a few plot holes here and there, but that doesn't hold it back from being so well-written.Now the Animation. They weren't kidding when they said this came from the creator of 'The Book Of Life'! This is possibly some of the most creative animation to come out of Nicklodeon! The backgrounds and setting are set in a Dia de Los Muertos theme and they look amazing and it can get really colorful at times. Same applies to the character design and animation. Not to mention that it can get pretty fast at times and it's not so sudden like in other Nick cartoons.The Characters are just right down likable. El Tigre/Manny, like i said before, is such a complex character with him having a hard choice to be Good or Evil. This can make him one of the most Likable Nick protagonists of all time. Manny's Best Friend/ Possible Love Interest, Firda is one of the funniest female kid characters nickelodeon has written. Plus i like that they don't make her so focused on her comedic/tomboy side to the point she becomes annoying, they keep her funny yet likable at the same time. Even White Pandara and Puma Loco are funny and likable. Same with the main villains (Santana, Black Cuervo, El Oso)Why don't people talk about this as often as Spongebob and TMNT? Pepole, go to the web-page of this show on Nicktoons' website and go see the episodes of them and have a good time in Maricle City!

El Tigre must have been pulled because it would have overtaken spongebob in popularity as it is witty and has a lot of funny (well timed) jokes and fun stuff going on.I found myself having the same feelings about stuff they creators of the show have (yes i do have a fetish to pop every bubble in bubblewrapping).This is one of those shows that got pulled because it was way to good and modern, American's do not like funny humor.. come to think of it... same with Germans.Short: Watch it, i'm 23 i enjoy the shows a lot way more than my younger brother (8 years) because i've got more life experience which you need to understand most of the jokes.

Yelling, crashing, exploding, mischief, face and body alterations, and expressing emotions in an exaggerated manner. The stuff that cartoons these days are carrying since the late- eighties. Created by Jorege Gutierez, inspired by the Mexican masked-wrestling craze from his home country, this cartoon tells the tale of a boy named Manny Rivera, who becomes a El Tigre. He lives with his father, White Pantera, a super-hero and Puma Loco a retired super- villain. He must choose between being a hero or a villain. Going back, he has a wacky best friend, Frida who is the singer of the band, The Atomic Sombrero. The villains are wacky and hilarious. I discovered it has a shade of STAR WARS because he has a choice between being a hero or a villain, which is why I am glad Jorge Gutierez made that idea, because if he was going to be a villain, then we would end up what would look like, a Latino DENNIS THE MENACE running around (or amok). After watching eight episodes, I noticed that this show is great. It is like the new MY LIFE AS A TEENAGE ROBOT. I found some similarities between this show and THE HI HI PUFFY AMI YUMI SHOW. They are both Flash-animated, but PUFFY has Japanese references and TIGRE has Spanish references. The best part is you can learn some Spanish. I find nothing wrong with this show what so ever. There is a lot of good moral for the kids to learn. It teaches kids that the world is not coated with sugar, and it teaches them to play with the cards they've got and play them right. Unlike SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS. He is nothing but a pest. He drives Squidward and other characters up the wall. Then kids copy and drive other people, no matter the age and gender, completely bananas, and when they get bullied they are screwed. Worst part is about SPONGEBOB, is that apart from a predictable plot, he is taking too much air-time and franchising!!! I am angry at the Sponge! Thank goodness there is shows like EL TIGRE and TEENAGE ROBOT. Besides the character designs in the show are good, not to mention the classic Hanna Barbera stretching noise as heard in such cartoons as THE FLINTSTONES, THE JESTSONS and SCOOBY-DOO. The best part is, that it ranked number 15 on the list of America's top- rated shows. Perhaps the viewers are Latinos apart from kids. I give this a four out of five stars. Really fun entertainment for the entire family, but it is rated TV-Y7 for comic and fantasy violence, mischief, crude humor, and all manner of wacky going-ons.
