Bucky and Pepito is a 1959 Western-themed animated television series produced by Sam Singer.
The series is about two young boys. Bucky is an imaginative White 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.
The series is partially lost. Any episodes of the series have entered the public domain due to failure to renew the copyright. Half of the series was released on 8mm home movies in the 1960s.
