Pocoyo (Pocoyó in Spanish) is a children's comedy animated television series created by Guillermo García Carsí, Colman López, Luis Gallego and David Cantolla, and is produced by Zinkia Entertainment. Four series have been produced, with 5 series each consisting of 52 seven-minute episodes, while the fourth series consisted of 26.[4] English actor and comedian Stephen Fry narrates the English-language version[5][6] of the first two seasons of the show, while Stephen Hughes narrates the third season, called Let's Go Pocoyo, and the fourth season. José María del Río narrates the Castilian Spanish version of the show. In 2016, a new spin-off show called Pocoyo Planet was created.

About[]

Set in a 3D space, with a plain white background and usually no backdrops, it is about Pocoyo, a 4-year-old boy, interacting with his animals Baby Bird, Elly the elephant, Fred the octopus, Loula the dog and Pato the duck. Viewers are encouraged to recognize situations that Pocoyo is in, and things that are going on with or around him. The narrator usually speaks explicitly to the viewers and to the characters as well. Each character has its own distinctive dance and also a specific sound (usually from a musical instrument), and most episodes end with the characters dancing.

Development[]

Pocoyo's name was provided by David Cantolla, one of the creators, after his then two-year-old daughter used it in her nightly prayers saying "Eres niño poco yo" ("You're a child little me"). "Pocoyo" could roughly be translated to English as "little me", though it is a made-up construction.[7] The show is created with XSI software.[8]
