Pocoyo

I'm pretty selective with what my toddler watches. I love this show. The lessons are fantastic. The animation is adorable. My 2 year old is engaged and learning. And it's just simple fun!

quite simply, this show has to be seen to be truly appreciated for the simplistic masterpiece it is, defying all the expectations of a traditionally formulaic and mind-numbingly boring true 'kid's TV programme'...

the programme itself almost mocks the complexity of its rivals, with a totally white background and characters so basic and almost clichéd that on the surface 'Pocoyo' could be very easily underestimated.

Pocoyo - sky blue outfit, cutest little kid since Boo from 'Monsters Inc.', almost like one of the audience has stepped into the wonderful world in that 10 minute slot. Patto - the greatest dead-pan animated character since Gromit, who can independently spin his beak around his head like a fun Daffy Duck, extend his neck and becomes grumpy when he loses his green hat. Elly - a pink elephant, who can type on a laptop and ride a scooter... need i say more except... legend! Lula - imagine a dog in computer animation... exactly that. Sleepy-Bird - sleeps... is comically woken up... frowns... goes back to step 1

if there is more convincing to be done, Stephen Fry plays the omniscient narrator who seems to be taught as much by Pocoyo as he teaches all the characters... which is always entertainment, even if it goes over the true-watcher's (kid's) heads... proving how accessible this masterpiece is to all ages wishing to explore their own anti-Spielberg "child-within". the stories themselves condemn conventional story lines, introducing new characters without trying to be anything except a kid's TV programme, such as aliens and even one where the characters race across their bare landscape.

beautifully made, funny, for all ages, simple, entertaining, not too adventurous, fantastic, imaginative, original

...i never want it to end after 10 minutes... my desire for this programme will never be saturated even if i buy the DVD

wonderful

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

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.
