Pocoyo is a product of the Spaniards and English and it is so awesome, easily one of the greatest TV shows for children in the post-9/11 era. It really is themed for infants, but anyone, even grown-ups, can get hooked on Pocoyo. An episode is usually about 6-7 minutes long and in the episode the title character, a 4-year old dressed in blue plays with his animal friends, each episode about a certain aspect of life. It is done in a happy, sometimes sad, but always hilarious way.
The supporting characters are all amazing and so lovable. They may be animals, but they have human-like feelings and emotions and that adds to the warmth. First you have Pato the Duck. Pato is easily the most surreal character. Despite being a duck he wears a hat, you can comically dislodge his eyes, his beak spins around his head such that he can become a helicopter (!) and he has very elastic limbs. He also has a short temper and can get angry very easily. The pink Elly the Elephant is a very girly character. She also gets annoyed with ease, because she usually likes dancing and playing with her doll. Symbolizing innocence is Loula, the brown/orange puppy. She will do anything to make Pocoyo happy and like all dogs can't resist a juicy bone. My personal favourite character is the obese Sleepy Bird/Pajaroto. Sleepy Bird just snoozes in her nest all day and when disturbed by noise etc., gets cross, but then nods off again! Her giant cartoon eyes and traits make her even funnier. She also has a son, Baby Bird/Pajarito who sleeps too but far less often than his mother, he has fun playing with Pocoyo and co. Then you have Caterpillar/Valentina, the dim but energetic friend of Baby Bird, the singing octopus Fred/Pulpo (really he should be called a quadapus because he only has 4 tentacles), the gargantuan Whale, Baby Spider and even aliens of many different types come for a visit from time to time.
Pocoyo is so light-hearted, so energetic, so funny you will never be tired of it. In Britain it is narrated by actor Stephen Fry. Fry has a key role in making the program irresistible with his very gentlemanly voice. It deserves to be a classic for years to come and if I were to have children one day, I would definitely show it to them, along with stuff such as Digimon and Thunderbirds. A real pleasure.
