Pocoyo

Here are the comedy adventures of a mischievous but well meaning little boy, Pocoyo, and his friends Ellie, a pink elephant (who is very kind hearted and unselfish), and a mad duck, Pato, with obsessive compulsive tendencies, my favourite character. Other characters include Sleepy Bird, a puppy and a whale.

Although this show is meant for pre-schoolers, it is rapidly becoming a favourite show for my daughter and I. The characters are incredibly cute and the stories emphasise the importance of kindness and consideration, as well as being entertaining. The narration provided by Stephen Fry is masterfully warm and appealing, without feeling patronising as so many shows for younger children tend to be.

There are points in the show where Mr Fry addresses the viewer with a question, and an unseen group of children reply, filling in that awkward silence that can occur. Mr Fry's perfect diction is a big plus as well, particularly when considering the importance of this to a pre-school audience.

For far too long, Children's programming has suffered dreadfully from politically correct and patronising attitudes of programme makers who want to appeal to children, but do not actually understand what they need... Simplicity, clarity,and good stories. Too much Children's TV is over busy, over coloured, sloppily presented by people who can barely speak themselves, and appearing to be aimed at immature students rather than children in terms of content.

Pocoyo is an unexpected gem amidst the sea of dross.. slightly reminiscent of the original "Magic Roundabout" in feel. This show is appealing to all ages

This is by far one of the most wonderful cartoon shows on TV! It is packed with fun, interesting information, cuteness, vivid and friendly colors, information, friendship stories, simplicity elevated to extraordinary, all in all ... an Original. I love the narrator, Stephen Fry! He is the beating heart of the stories. He coordinates so well the action with the words! Great narrator choice! He is so much fun, as much as Pocoyo, Pato, Ellie, the Bird, and the cute dog. And the Octopus who can make everyone laugh! My 2-year old laughs along with Pocoyo. Hurray for Pocoyo and his creators! Thank you for a wonderful show, Gentlemen! Keep your brilliancy lighting our life!

I think this programme is very good for young children, as pocoyo is a small boy who befriends an elephant, a duck, a bird who is always asleep and has a loving puppy called loula. Stephen fry does an excellent job- and doesn't speak too quickly for younger children. Pocoyo translates from Spanish into "little me". And that's exactly what he is. He's a small boy in his own world, with his friends along side him and a kind narrator to guide him. I watch it every day and it is not too long, but makes you happy. :) Children of all ages can enjoy it and he really is sweet. Elly the elephant is large and pink and is always there for little pocoyo. She likes having baths and always has a blue backpack with her. Pato the duck is rather quick to anger, but is an equally good friend, and always wishes good things, and is always up for a dance. Loula the dog is an actual pet dog of pocoyo's and therefore barks and howls if he sees something or his happy/upset. Sleepy bird: what can i say? the name says it all. This is a very sleepy bird, who always seems to get woken up somehow, but pocoyo usually calms her down. Recently, in newer episodes, Sleepy bird had a little baby, who doesn't seem to be as keen on sleeping.

When I first saw Pocoyo I said "Isn't that the kid from Digimon?" as the startup went on we saw a duck that looks and acts like Coach Z from the ever popular Homestarrunner.com website, a pink elephant (Witch is always cool) and a dog I though Pocoyo called "Bo-ya!" So naturally I was intrigued. Now i've seen 1/5 of the season me and my 18 year old brother are hooked! It has great appeal to everyone. My personal favourite is the episode with the Martians.

Pocoyo is a small boy who looks a bit like TK from Digimon series 2. But way cooler! He speaks in short sentences but what he says is really cool and the way he says it!

Elly is the pink elephant, sometimes she's cool, others she can be a real drag. So there's mixed feelings about her but the idea rules.

Patto is the Coach Z and he fits the awesomeness of Coach Z! Homestar runner fans will absolutely Love this duck! He can extend his neck, spin his beak and look totally awesome. him and Pocoyo go together like Apple and Pie! I want a Patto action figure!

We don't really see much of Loula (Bo-Ya) or Sleepy bird (Did i miss her?) but there are loads of side characters you can enjoy to, like the aliens and whale. PLUS Pocoyo has his own Ballon powered helicopter! How awesome is that? Believe me, watch it and you'll love it best kids TV program ever, Sorry Thoamas The Tank Engine!

I saw Pocoyo the other day on CITV and it was BRILLIANT! The one I saw was the one with "Super Pocoyo", who refused to answer to Steven Fry when he said, "Hello Pocoyo", to which Pocoyo replied, "Mm". I think that this is the only good cartoon kiddy show to be shown on ITV since the glory days of Tots TV (which was CLASS). Overall, I think Pocoyo should be upgraded to a primetime slot on ITV1 in place of Ant and Dec as the host of Saturday Night Takeaway. Well done on a blistering career Pocoyo, and long may your reign of disturbing blueness continue. I also like your weird mates, including the bird who can twist his beak 360 degrees.
