Duh! Have we had a brain bypass?

Hispanic is Spanish yes, but it is an American/Canadian production aimed at the Anglo/Hispanic kids there primarily - my point was that it was not a sSpanish production, Spanish dubbed versions do exist, as do other languages, and it does seem that English is the secondary language in most.
