History YMMV / ElChavoAnimado

* MisaimedMarketing: Part of this series' marketing included a computer video game called ''Learn to code with El Chavo''. It is a very strange choice to use El Chavo, a poor orphan boy who has probably never used a computer in his life, for an educational game about coding.

** Whether La Chilindrina was missed in this series also varies from person from person. Some think that her absence impacted the series negatively, with La Popis and Ñoño being [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute poor attempts to substitute her]], much like they were to Quico in the live-action since his departure in 1978. Others don't feel that she made much difference, especially since she had also been absent in the original series from late 1973 to early 1975 (in fact, several remakes of the animated series are adapted from that era, meaning it wasn't even necessary to replace her with a different character).

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Fans were angered about some episodes that had the adults (except for Mr. Beliarge), and even the kids, treating Chavo very cruelly and tormenting him callously, accusing him of things that weren't his fault.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Although Doña Florinda's restaurant is adapted into the cartoon, it only appears in a total of ''two episodes'' (''Una mosca en el cafe'' - which is a remake - and ''Los empleos del Chavo''). Not only did it waste the potential for more original plots taking place in this location, but it also created a plot hole as Doña Florinda's job there is never seen or mentioned anytime outside of those two episodes. And importantly, it wasted the opportunity to show Quico visiting the restaurant, since in the original series, he had already left before it was introduced.

** In a great part of the remake episodes, the first half is set entirely at the classroom adapted from a school episode, while the second half actually starts off the main story.

* {{Padding}}: This becomes a problem in later seasons, as many episodes include subplots or scenes that are there and have no impact on the plot like in "El valor de la amistad" (The value of friendship), whose main plot doesn't start almost ''midway'' thought the episode and the first act is just the children playing baseball and [[ButtMonkey Don Ramón]] getting hurt [[PlayedForLaughs for laughs]]; the latter is Don Ramón (and Doña Florinda)'s only appearance in the entire episode.

** Whether La Chilindrina was missed in this series also varies from person from person. Some think that her absence impacted the series negatively, with La Popis and Ñoño being poor attempts to substitute her. Others don't feel that she made much difference, especially since she had also been absent in the original series from late 1973 to early 1975 (in fact, several remakes of the animated series are adapted from that era, meaning it wasn't even necessary to replace her with a different character).

* FranchiseOriginalSin: The series has largely been critized for its DenserAndWackier approach, "killing" the realism of the original series. The original series was never 100% accurate to RealLife, as it had its AcceptableBreaksFromReality such as characters being hit on the head with bowling balls or other heavy objects that in real life would render a person unconscious or worse, Doña Florinda kicking Don Ramón's butt in a rather cartoonish fashion, the infamous scenes where Ñoño explodes like a balloon and Don Ramón is SquashedFlat, etc. However, that's where the show drew the line with fantastic elements, they were brief moments and the show tried to have a realistic atmosphere most of the time, unlike this series that has full episodes based on fantastic and crazy things like a [[RabbitMagician magic rabbit]] that grants wishes or [[TimeTravel time traveling]].

* BrokenBase: This series is a very divisive topic between fans of the original ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho''. Some feel it's just a bad cartoon made to revive the franchise and [[MerchandiseDriven drive it to merchandise]] ([[DisownedAdaptation Carlos Villagrán and Édgar Vivar's thoughts]] on the topic definitely don't help), while others say [[SoOkayItsAverage it's a good cartoon, but not in the same league of the classic series]]. Then there are others, mostly newer viewers, who see it as being SoBadItsGood and WatchItForTheMeme in the wake of its FountainOfMemes status as of TheNewTwenties.

** In "El Chavo y el lobo", a grey wolf that escaped from a local zoo wreaks havoc on the neighborhood as it ends up eating Junior's lunch that Professor Girafalde previously confiscated from him, Manny's tacos, some eggs Mr. Raymond bought for himself and a cake baked by Miss Pinster. All of them are quick to wrongly accuse Chavo for the deeds. Even when they are told it was actually the wolf, they cockily dismiss this believing it's only an excuse not to own up to his actions.

* FandomRivalry: With ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' of all things. This is largely due to a meme shipping Chavo with Amity, which the fanbase perceives as homophobic (since Amity is canonically a lesbian) and in turn has only motivated fan artists to continue this out of spite.

* MemeticMutation: Starting in late 2020, it became common to edit the dialogue of the characters in image macros, putting them in increasingly bizarre, dark and... NSFW situations, in Latino shitposting communities in Facebook. [[https://youtu.be/YzUoxirnVyo This is one of the multiple videos that contain examples of said memes. Very NSFW]]

* ValuesDissonance: The episode "Visita al zoológico" (Visit to the Zoo), despite airing in 2009, features a tribe of BlackfaceStyleCaricature-looking HollywoodNatives during Chavo's dream sequence that wouldn't be out of place in the WesternAnimation/CensoredEleven, and that would not have a pass in any cartoon of the 21st century if it were not because in Mexico (and in Latin America in general) political correctness regarding race is not a big deal there due to cultural differences.

* ValuesDissonance: The episode "Visita al zoológico" (Visit to the Zoo), despite airing in 2009, features a tribe of [[{{Blackface}} blackface]]-looking HollywoodNatives during Chavo's dream sequence that is highly reminiscent of the racially stereotypical characters of many old cartoons. Despite it not being 20 years since the episode aired, it still qualifies for this trope because of cultural differences. Racial stereotypes, especially of black people, are still tolerated in Latin America unlike in the United States.
