Pocoyo (2005-2009) is a Spanish children's show, narrated by
Stephen Fry. Tells the adventures of a young boy named Pocoyo, the duck Pato, the elephant Ellie, and more. Notable for its minimalist style- the characters lack any textures and all of the action takes place on a white background, and there is no backstory.
Also notable for being absolutely, unbearably adorable.
This show contains examples of:
- Big "NO!": Pocoyo gives one after breaking Ellie's favorite doll. Dramatic bird's eye zoom out and all.
- Bilingual Bonus: Pato means "duck" in Spanish.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Fred the octopus, oh God, Fred the octopus.
- Heavy Sleeper: Sleepy Bird.
- Hey, It's That Voice!: It appears that Pocoyo's French voice actress is Leela.
- Loads and Loads of Characters: By virtue of there not being Characters Of The Day. If a character makes an appearance in one episode, he will reappear again, no exceptions.
- Nice Hat: Pocoyo and Pato both have one.
- Non-Interactivity
- Pink Girl, Blue Boy: Ellie and Pocoyo respectively. Thanks to simplistic character design and a lack of Tertiary Sexual Characteristics its really the only way to determine their genders first glance.
- The Unintelligible: Ellie speaks in trumpet noises, Pato speaks with quacks, and Octopus speaks in random gibberish. Thankfully, the narrator knows what they're saying.
- Although it must be said that as ducks go, Pato's got just about the most expressive face since Daffy.
