* AnAesop: Season 1 episode 4's plot is kicked off by Caesar eating poisonous mushrooms, causing him to black out and sending Doby and Disy into action to get him to the hospital. The lesson is never to eat mushrooms you find in the wild since they might be poisonous.

** Caesar's name in the original Chinese version is Huàimāo (坏猫), which means "Bad Cat".

Showing up as YMMV; moving to the relevant page.


* BrokenAesop: On a meta-level; the entire idea that Caesar is there to teach children not to steal becomes pointless when you consider that the series started out as a mockbuster of ''Dora the Explorer'', with Caesar himself being an {{expy}} of Swiper.

His name in Chinese is Huàimāo (坏猫).


* BilingualBonus: Caesar's name is essentially the same in English as it is in Chinese, Romanization aside, meaning it retains the "Caesar"/"seizer" pun for any Chinese speakers who understand English.

* TheMockbuster: Season 1 seems to be ripping off ''WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer'', featuring many fake interactivity and StrictlyFormula elements similar to it - such as them having to visit three locations in order to get where they're going and resolve the episode's conflict - and casting Doby and Disy are direct expies of Dora, Parrot is an expy of boots, Caesar is like Swiper the Fox, Magic Pen is like the Map and Backpack, and Panda is a copy of Benny, respectively. In addition, its original Chinese version teaches English, much like how ''Dora'' teaches Spanish.

* ActionizedAdaptation: The movie has a far more action-based plot than the main series, having Doby and Disy being chased by evil pumpkins and having to fight the evil witch (without any actual violence; this is a preschool show, after all) near the end, among other things.

* DerivativeDifferentiation: Season 2 got rid of the fake interactivity segments and fleshed out the character personalities to be more original than ''Dora the Explorer''. Every season from that one onwards has its own topic to teach that isn't English, such as Chinese characters, music, and problem solving.

In it, a brother and sister team named Doby and Disy respectively go around to help their friends. The exact premise changes with each season; for instance, in Season 1, a mother tells Doby and Disy bedtime stories that happen to star them as the main characters, and in Season 2, this framing device is dropped in favor of Doby, Disy, and their friend Panda using detective skills to figure out problems.
