ANSWER: Cartoons

Quick Draw McGraw

Quick Draw was usually depicted as a sheriff in a series of short films set in the Arizona Territory of the Old West. Quick Draw was often accompanied by his deputy, a Mexican burro called Baba Looey who spoke English with a Mexican accent. In the Spanish American version, Quick Draw (Tiro Loco McGraw) speaks in a very English-influenced accent, and Baba Looey (Pepe Trueno, or Pepe Luis in some episodes) speaks in a very Mexican accent, so it was clear that Quick Draw was the alien, and there was no need to adapt any feature of the story. In the Brazilian version, however, Quick Draw speaks in a drawling Portuguese which along with his hispanized name (Pepe Legal) would suggest he was either a Texan-American or Mexican cowboy.
