* {{Animorphism}}: A common plot device. Rubik turns Carlos into a werewolf (after turning him briefly into a mummy and a sasquatch) as a practical joke in "Back Packin' Rubik", he turns Carlos into a poodle to hide from a pair of dognappers in "Rubik and the Pooch-nappers" (and later in the same episode, Rubik turns the villains themselves into cats), and he turns Carlos and Lisa into mice to infiltrate a giant's castle via mousehole in "Rubik in Wonderland". That doesn't include all the times where the kids are just shrunk, which was even more common.

''Rubik the Amazing Cube'' was a 1983 Creator/RubySpears animated series based on... well... the [[FadSuper then extremely popular]] [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOntheTin Rubik's Cube puzzle toy]]. In this short-lived series, a trio of Latino siblings (Carlos, Lisa, and Reynaldo Rodriguez) are casually walking around a forest at night, and happen to witness a strange gypsy/magician-type character going at top speed in a horse-drawn cart. A strange object falls out of the cart, which looks like a Rubik's Cube. One of the kids picks it up and solves it, and lo and behold, the thing comes to life, complete with a face, arms and legs. He calls himself Rubik, and immediately bonds with the kids, who soon have wacky misadventures with the eponymous cube.
