History WesternAnimation / ElChavoAnimado

** Applies to the settings outside the vecindad as well. In the beginning of the original series, the only background was the main patio of the neighborhood, with the other houses' interiors not appearing until 1973; the school and second patio not appearing until 1974, and the restaurant not appearing until 1979. In this show, all of these settings as well as many others appear since the start, although the restaurant only appears twice in the entire series and does not have a OriginsEpisode for its estabilishment unlike in the live-action show.

* BrokenAesop: The episode where Chavo and the other kids enter Clotilde's house ends with the main character addressing the audience and telling them not to judge a person based only on their appearance. This is followed up by having the kids be transformed into frogs, meaning that they were right to suspect that Clotilde was a malevolent witch all along.

A couple of videogames have been released based on this animated series: in 2012 ''El Chavo'' for UsefulNotes/{{Wii}} (a party game developed by Kaxan Media Group), and in 2014 ''El Chavo Kart'' for UsefulNotes/XBox360, UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 and UsefulNotes/{{Android}} (a racing game developed by Efecto Studios). Both games were published by Televisa Home Entertainment in conjunction with Slang, though they've only been released in Mexico and Brazil.

* MythologyGag: La Popis has freckles in this version, despite her live-action counterpart not having any. This is a subtle reference to Chilindrina, who had freckles and does not appear in this show.

* CompressedAdaptation: Many episodes that were [[MultiPartEpisode Multi Part Episodes]] in the original series have been compressed into one episode. Notable examples are "El gato de Quico" and "El juicio del Chavo", which have been compressed into "La mascota de Quico" (Trial and Terror in USA). Also, many adaptations in Seasons 1 and 2 have the first half set at the school, as an adaptation of episodes originally set entirely there, and the second half being adapted from a different episode.

** Doña Clotilde's [[AbhorrentAdmirer obsession with Don Ramón]] was upped to rather grating levels, that she could be compared with characters like [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Pepe Le Pew]], Animation/{{Pucca}}, or even the [[Anime/SonicX ''Sonic X'' incarnation of Amy Rose]].
*** Doña Clotilde's comparisons to the ''Sonic X'' incarnation of Amy Rose are extremely coincidental in that both this show and ''Sonic X'' did air together on Creator/{{Kabillion}}.

** The show kepts many jokes from the original series due to Grandfather Clause. {{Running Gag}}s such as Don Ramón hitting El Chavo in the head and pinching Quico in the arm would be seen as child abuse if they weren't trademark jokes of ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho''. That said, as the series went on, all the slapstick humor has diminished until it was completely removed from the series (including slapstick that did not involve the children), with very few leftovers of this remaining such as [[ButtMonkey Don Ramón]] getting hurt [[PlayedForLaughs for laughs]].

* DecompositeCharacter: Since Chilindrina does not appear in this series, her traits are split between Popis (her feminine side) and Ñoño (her witty side). Which character replaced her in each remake depended on what side of her personality was most prominent in that specific story; if both sides were prominent, both character would replace her and her lines were divided between the two.

* AnimationEvolution: Season 1 had more expressive and fluid animation, sometimes exaggerated for comedic effect. Over the seasons, the animation became more stiff with the characters always staying off model.

* AlternateForeignThemeSong: In the English dub for the show, Season 1 has a completely different theme song (albeit with a very similar melody to the original intro music) with lyrics, describing all of the main characters. It is composed almost entirely of reutilized animations and clips from the show, including those from the original intro or from subsequent seasons which weren't even dubbed.

* {{Bowdlerization}}: In the original Spanish version and the Brazilian dub of "La mascota de Quico", Chavo accidentally runs over and kills Quico's cat, like in the live-action episodes it was based on. In the English dub, however, the cat is stated to have just ran away scared, and two scenes that originally showed the cat's ran over corpse are replaced by a sad Chavo and an image of the cat hospitalized in a cast and wheelchair, respectively.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: Quico's cat in the episode "La gato de Quico" is revealed to be alive (albeit in a wheelchair) at the end of the animated adaptation of said episode.
