El Chavo Animado

I never seen El Chavo: The Animated Series (Animado I know) before, but it's a long story of how I'm curious about the show since May 7th 2021, so I researched the show especially on YouTube, I also searched Chavo and Patty (Paty) moments, though I live in America and couldn't understand Spanish very good, but I began to like the show, and I liked Chavo and Patty (Paty) already not only as my two favorite characters, but especially as one of my favorite couples I shipped, so despite the fact the show is made from Mexico (with Spanish dubs) and Patty (Paty) is a minor character until season 3, I claimed that Chavo and Patty (Paty)'s the cutest Animated Couple I ever saw in my life. I don't know why Kabillion stopped airing El Chavo English dub by 52nd episode (as 52 episodes in English dub out of 134 in Spanish), but I sure hope in the future, More El Chavo english dubs shall be released on DVD's and Blu-Rays. Though the show is made from Mexico, but El Chavo reminds me of one of my favorite Anime series "Hamtaro: Little Hamster's BIG Adventures" as the show is similar to Anime series. Yes, I heard of Original El Chavo, and Chilindrina's history. I still declair El Chavo: the Animated series is cute, awesome, fun, and unusual, and also declaired that Chavo and Patty (Paty)'s the cutest Animated Couple I ever seen in my life!

I live in the US and my Spanish isn't very good, I took it for two years in High School and failed, but I found some episodes of this on YouTube. Even if you haven't seen or don't know anything the original series, these are very and cute, and a little violent (more Tom and Jerry/slapstick than Sam Peckinpath). The animation was done with flash with CGI backgrounds, but it still looks like a cartoon. I've seen the episodes on YouTube and I really wish someone would dub this into English and show it in the US, maybe on Adult Swim or something and make it like parody-kind of dubbing like the Magic Roundabout or something.

Cartoon is my passion, and this film is a masterpiece when it comes to this subject, a simple yet lively story, suitable for children and also for adults who just want to spend time

Something tastes off.

The voice casting is perfect. Most of the characters sound true to the original. And they also pay homage to the original series with a generous portion of references. The characters all have their original look and costumes in bright animated form. And let me just say that these character designs are brilliant. Each of the original characters are distinctive and more or less timeless.

But the show is not very satisfying and I can't say exactly why. And I don't say it because of the absence of La Chilindrina, one of the central characters of the original show. As I see it, there are three main problems that could be the culprit:

1) It's too long. Each episode is made to fit in a one-hour time slot and the writers really didn't know what to do with it. Each episode is a hectic hodgepodge of vignettes stitched together. If you happen to come in halfway and start watching, you're barely missing anything as nothing more than a thin weak plot provides the stitching for the different parts. It's really just random things happening. Makes it hard to get invested in any episode and also makes it terribly dull to sit through a whole episode from start to finish.

2) Whereas the original was made to appeal to adults and was the best thing on TV at the time for children (I don't think many would be terribly interested in it now in the age of animation and big impressive sets and puppets for live-action children's TV, but back then it was either this or play outside - yuck!), this one is definitely only for the kiddies. The background music NEVER stops, it plays relentlessly. The action is also frantic and the show jumps from random scene to random scene without taking a breath. They expected their target audience to get bored within 30 seconds if there wasn't something frenetic going on.

3) No more social commentary: The original Chavo was a poor orphan who the people in the apartment block felt sorry for. However, seeing as they were themselves barely making ends meet, their pity was left jaded and rarely, if ever, was transformed into satisfaction as they could never really help him.

Case in point - the thing El Chavo always dreamed of was a sandwich, but he only very rarely got to indulge in one. It wasn't uncommon for an episode to end with him crying in the barrel he made his home.

Aside from Chavo himself, most of the people who lived in the block could barely stand each other but had to do so because they were so poor and couldn't live alone. In that environment, they begrudgingly would come to care about each other to some extent.

Some romantic relationships were apparent but they were usually unrequited or did not manifest themselves completely because of apparent shyness or formality. The whole show was an ode to human limitations and dashed hopes.

There's none of that here. Everyone is friends, El Chavo always gets what he wants at the end of the episode, and the romances become quite well-developed.

Honourable Mentions: Batman: The Animated Series (1992). A cartoon for children that had serious, if simplistic, plots memorable characters, and consumable social commentary. Just about the highest echelon of children's programming.

The animated adaptation of the series El Chavo is very good, it was the first time I hear this name of El Chavo. Flash animation is good, but the CGI backgrounds have matched more. The original voices were very faithful to that of the voices of the actors of El Chavo. The designs are beautiful mainly. Only, with the lack of Chilindrina, it is not the same thing, because she is the most outstanding character of the series, she could have appeared, but, Roberto and Maria Antonieta de Las Nieves had a legal dispute between the rights of the character . Well, there are some new stories to be able to enjoy exploring the boy's new adventures. Well, there are those adults in the cartoon that I do not like, because, always give the change in someone with violence or something else. This cartoon was a nice adaptation of the series, the same thing as the Chapulin Colorado Anímado as well.
