Plot

Why It Rocks

 * 1) It has an engaging concept of supernatural forces based off Latin American folklore.
 * 2) Likable characters such as Victor, the very adorable main star of the show himself.
 * 3) It educates children about the culture of the show's setting, along with adding in some Spanish wordplay as a bonus. Feel free to check them out here.
 * 4) The animation is nice and clean, with an art style that fluently captures the simplicity of ancient Mesoamerican folk art and the atmosphere of Mexico itself.
 * 5) The writing's seamless blend of buddy comedy, Warner Bros.-style action, mystery, anime-esque fantasy, and horror.
 * 6) Amazing villains such as Tez, the threatening magician and Mic, and Hun, the Keepers of the Underworld.
 * 7) Like Gravity Falls, the show gives us hidden clues and cliffhangers throughout the series.
 * 8) Victor's character design and his most iconic outfit looks so cute, to fit his cuteness and boyishness.
 * 9) Pretty good voice acting.
 * 10) The opening theme is very awesome to listen to.
 * 11) Funny jokes such as Victor's bad spelling.
 * 12) Spawned a crossover with Villainous.
 * 13) The third American cartoon touching Mexican folklore like ¡Mucha Lucha! and El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The brothers can be unlikable and annoying at times due to Vic's childishly rebellious behavior and Val's bossy personality, on top of their occasional bickering. Depending on your point of view, it can give some episodes a mean-spirited feel.
 * 2) *However, out of some of the unlikable characters Rosa is the worst offender.
 * 3) Victor's voice can also get on some viewers' nerves.
 * 4) In the scene from Another Don where Isabella transforms into her true form may be too creepy for a young audience.
 * 5) It can be considered a rip off of Las Leyendas film series by Animex Producciones and Ánima Estudios.

Trivia

 * Diego Molano self-dubbed his paper as Diego in the Latin American version during the first 19 episodes.


 * The idea for the show originally started as a thesis project titled High Noon in Mexico in 2002 by Molano when he was a Maryland Institute College of Art student, where Victor and Valentino were part of a video game, along with a third brother named Vicente. In 2004, the idea took the name of "Victor, Valentino and Vicente.
