Pocoyo (2005-2009) is a Spanish children's show, narrated by StephenFry. 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:

* BigNo: Pocoyo gives one after breaking Ellie's favorite doll. Dramatic bird's eye zoom out and all.
* BilingualBonus: Pato means [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "duck"]] in Spanish.
* CloudCuckooLander: Fred the octopus, oh ''God'', Fred the octopus.
* HeavySleeper: Sleepy Bird.
* HeyItsThatVoice: It appears that Pocoyo's French voice actress is [[{{Futurama}} Leela]].
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: By virtue of there not being [[CharacterOfTheDay Characters Of The Day]]. If a character makes an appearance in one episode, he ''will'' reappear again, no exceptions.
* NonInteractivity
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Ellie and Pocoyo respectively. Thanks to simplistic character design and a lack of TertiarySexualCharacteristics its really the only way to determine their genders first glance.
* TheUnintelligible: 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 [[DaffyDuck Daffy]].
