Rubik, the Amazing Cube

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rubik, the Amazing Cube was a Saturday morning cartoon that aired from 1983-1984 in the United States, produced by Ruby-Spears Productions. The program, broadcast as part of The Pac-Man/Rubik, the Amazing Cube Hour block on ABC, featured a magic Rubik’s Cube named Rubik who could fly through the air and had other special powers. Rubik could only come alive when the colored squares on his sides had been matched up.

Rubik had fallen out of a magician’s stagecoach, and this magician was the main villain throughout the show. Rubik helped three siblings--Carlos, Lisa, and Reynaldo Rodriguez--in foiling the magician’s attempts to recover Rubik.

Luckily, the Rodriguez children were quite adept at solving Rubik’s Cubes, often doing so with only a few movements. This was beneficial since Rubik regularly got thoroughly scrambled by simply being dropped, grabbed by the family dog, etc.

Rubik was voiced by Ron Palillo.
