Four series have been produced, each consisting of 52 seven-minute episodes. English actor and comedian Stephen Fry narrates the English-language version of the first two series of the show, while Stephen Hughes narrates the third series, called '' Let's Go Pocoyo'', and the fourth series. José María del Río narrates the Castilian Spanish version of the show. In 2016, a new spin-off show called ''Pocoyo Planet'' was created.

Overview

Set in a 3D space, with a plain white background and usually no backdrops, it is about Pocoyo, a four-year-old boy, interacting with his friends Elly, Pato, Nina, Fred the Octopus, Loula and Sleepy Bird. 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.

Characters

Main

*Pocoyo (voiced by Alex Marty in series 1, Montana Smedley in series 2, Isabella Foy in series 3, and Gigi Hatt in series 4) is the title character of the series. He is a 4-year-old boy (''Homo sapiens'') who is full of curiosity and loves to play games and discover new things. He is very acrobatic and moves at a quick speed. Pocoyo is a very innocent, happy, and childish character who is always depicted wearing a blue three-flap hat, a blue jacket with a yellow zipper, and a pair of blue pants and shoes. His best friends are Pato, Elly, Loula, Sleepy Bird, and Baby Bird. He has a red race car and a shapeshifting bird-like spaceship called Vamoosh. Although he is very friendly and sweet and almost always in a good mood, Pocoyo is also highly self-centered, distracted by the simplest things, easily frustrated, frequently jealous of his friends, and he can be very disobedient but tries his hardest to fight his flaws and learn morals and he is also very affectionate and caring towards others and shows it often.
*The Narrator (voiced by José María del Río in Castilian Spanish; Stephen Fry in series 1–2, or Stephen Hughes in series 3–4, in English) speaks over the entire show and often communicates directly with the characters. Pocoyo has a good relationship with him and is always really delighted to see (hear) him. The narrator is also at times physically involved in the events of the episodes, making him more of a heard-but-not-seen character rather than a strict narrator.
*Pato is a yellow duck (Anatidae) who wears nothing but a small green top hat. He has a fondness for gardening and is often seen watering plants and flowerbeds. Pato means duck in Spanish, Portuguese, Tagalog, Tok Pisin, and Papiamento. He is a favorite amongst the show's target audience due to his enjoyable dancing and the fact that his bill turns 360 degrees. Although friendly, Pato is the most fastidious and impatient character (indicated by his bill that bends in an angle when disappointed or shocked); on occasion he completely loses his temper, jumping up and down and quacking furiously with his bill spinning rapidly. He is used as a jackhammer or missile and can become a helicopter. In the pilot episode in 2003, he was first called Ducky then changed the name to Pato.
*Elly is a pink elephant (Elephantidae) who always wears a blue backpack. She loves making biscuits and tea and has a doll that she loves very much. Despite her size, she is graceful and gentle, capable of ballet dancing, and as a big sister to Pocoyo, being forgiving and always takes care of him. She is, however, can be very bossy and generally does things her way. She usually rides around on her pink scooter.
*Loula an orange and magenta beagle puppy (''Canis familiaris'') who is Pocoyo's pet and companion. She also strictly walks on all four of her legs. She sometimes hops as she is walking. Originally, the character's name was Lucas, in tribute to creator and director Guillermo García Carsi's dog, but due to a shortage of female characters, the character was renamed Loula.
*Sleepy Bird is a teal-coloured songbird (Passeri). She does little but sleep, and usually flies with her eyes closed. She is named "Pajaroto" in the Spanish version (reportedly named after a Zinkia employee nicknamed "Maroto", and bearing a strong resemblance to him). The character is also known as "Pajaro Dormilon" in the Latin American Spanish version. For the episodes where Nina is present (excluding her debut appearance and the episodes where she's absent), she was digitally removed from the title sequence to make room for Nina.
*The Children are a group of children who, like The Narrator, speak over the show, answering questions asked by The Narrator in order to assist Pocoyo in solving a problem or to let Pocoyo in on what's going on.
*Nina (voiced by Noel Rodriguez in 2016/2017-2020 productions, and Alba Ramos in post-mid-late 2020 productions onwards) is another human (''Homo sapiens'') character who is introduced in the fourth series episode of the same name. She is a young girl similar to Pocoyo (likely younger than him) who has red hair, wears a lime green hoodie with two antennas, lime green shorts, and lime green shoes. Like Pato, She greatly loves plants and nature. She naturally speaks mostly a form of gibberish with a Japanese accent, but can also speak fluent English, though not as much as Pocoyo. Her name resembles "niña", Spanish for "girl". Thanks to her robotic pet called Roberto (pronounced Roh-bear-toe), it has the ability to shrink where anyone can be shrunk as well.

Recurring

*Aliens are a family of small tripodal one-eyed alien creatures that Pocoyo and his friends usually find whenever they go to space. They communicate with one another using staccato 'clicking' noises.
*Baby Bird is the small, always active (he has not inherited his mother's fondness of sleeping) and loud baby of Sleepy Bird, who gets into tricky situations from which he is rescued by Pocoyo. He is also a songbird (Passeri). He is best friends with Caterpillar. Named "Pajarito" in the Spanish version ('little bird').
*Ball Orchestra is a group of three ball-like creatures who play the trumpet, drums, and cymbals. In the series 4 episode "Space Postal Service", it's revealed that they live in a planet filled with instruments.
*Caterpillar (named "Valentina" or "Oruga" in Spanish) is a yellow caterpillar with a blue bow on top of her head. She speaks in gibberish and has the ability to change into a butterfly and back when she wants. She is best friends with Baby Bird and friends with Angry Alien. When overjoyed or frustrated, she tends to slam her face forward into the ground.
*Fred the Octopus (Pulpo in the Spanish version) is a lunatic red octopus (''Octopus rubescens'') (although he is shown with only 4 legs, as to make animation rendering simpler) who speaks in gibberish like Caterpillar, and is very fond of opera singing. He appears in random episodes, sometimes as a major character, sometimes in passing. As of series 2, he is sometimes referred to as 'Fred'. His vocal style is reminiscent of Pee-wee Herman.
*Music Flower and The Band are a group of flowers who play some music that Pocoyo likes.
*Whale is a huge light gray sperm whale (''Physeter macrocephalus'') with red cheeks who lives under the sea.
*Baby Spider is a small blue spider (Araneae) that hatched out of an egg that Pato found in the episode "Pato's Egg".
*Yanko, introduced in the 2019 Christmas special "A Very Special Guest", is a friendly snow yeti first befriended by Pocoyo and Loula.

Development and production

Pocoyo's name was provided by David Cantolla, one of the creators, after his then two-year-old daughter used it in her nightly "Dear Child Jesus ()" prayers saying "Eres niño poco yo" ("You're a child little me"), but not "Eres niño como yo" ("You're a child like me"). "Pocoyo" could roughly be translated to English as "little me", though it is a made-up construction. The show is animated with Softimage XSI software.

The show was first announced to be in development in March 2003. In October, it was announced that Carlton International would co-produce and distribute the series, and that production delivery on the first half of the first series would begin in September 2004.

In March 2004, Novel Entertainment joined in production as co-producer with Carlton and Zinkia. However, nothing else was known about this initial announcement otherwise.

The show was showcased by Granada International at MIP TV in April 2005, with a broadcast window for CITV announced for the autumn. It was also announced that Stephen Fry would narrate the series in the United Kingdom.

The series was renewed for a second series on May 5, 2006. The makers also wish to embark upon other projects, one of which may be a ''Pocoyo'' movie. In June 2006, Pocoyo was awarded the Cristal Award for the "Best TV Production" at the 30th Annecy International Animated Film Festival.Animaquid – Award Winners – Film index

In April 2011, Zinkia and ITV Global Entertainment announced they would end their co-distribution partnership on the series and that Zinkia would now hold worldwide distribution of the series.
