My children adore this cartoon. We first saw it in England while visiting friends. I'm so excited it is coming to the U.S. now!! Its very well done, computer animation, involves the adventures of a little boy named Pocoyo (age 4)and his friends, Pato the duck and Ellie the Elephant. Its all about friendship and discovery. Even my 8 year old adores it but it is really age appropriate for 2-4 year olds. I am very excited to show this cartoon to my preschoolers! Its funny, entertaining while touching on core values of friendship.

Pocoyo is the most fantastic visual and learning environmnent for young children under 1 year old. It has a white background with very bright colour characters and good patterns of behaviour and language learning.

It revolves around the baby Pocoyo, (Ms) Elly the pink Elephant, Loula the Dog, the always-cool Pato the duck, and sleepy bird.

The hallmark of any good children's product is being able to appeal to the adults. This is amusing enough that you will enjoy watching it with your child, even the 10th time. Enjoy!

But get the English series one disc instead - its 91 minutes and better value for money.

Our Granddaughter really loves Pocoyo so we bought this DVD for her for Christmas..She is really enjoying this..She can sit for hours and watch it..Good teaching tool for young children..

Its so hard to find TV for a 2-year old that is not too flashy, loud, etc. My wife and I monitor our son's TV viewing carefully after reading many articles regarding its affect on toddler's attention spans. Pocoyo is funny and entertaining without being obnoxious and without being too "flashy". Shows that are all "zoom, pan, move around, shout" are not good for toddlers. Shows that are TOO quiet are boring and do not entertain them. Pocoyo is a great example of a show that gets it right.

Not much to say here: the powers that be addicted my child to this show, and my wife "suggested" that I pick up some DVDs for him. This was the second one, and to my relief he went ballistic when the DVDs arrived. He loves the show, won't shut up about it, and it is nowhere as annoying as the crap he watches on Youtube so it's a win all around.

We received this DVD for Christmas when our twins were 11.5 months old. We would put it on occasionally and they seemed mildly interested, but weren't really that into TV/DVDs yet at that age other than Baby Einstein. Our boys just recently (at 18 months) started saying "Pocoyo!" and now that they can say it, I realize how much they love it; they ask for "Pocoyo!" all the time! This series is VERY charming, simple, and seems to be good for language development. Love the British accents, too. :)

I like Pocoyo a lot. It's a great show. The reason I'm giving this dvd only 2 stars is because it's squashed. The show is broadcast at 4:3 but for some reason the people who put this dvd out squished it down to make it widescreen. The characters aren't as appealing when they are squashed. Let the buyer beware.

These cartoons are so cute and my dauguter loves them. I love that they are short, with about 7, or 8 episodes per DVD, so I can allow her to watch a few episoded without her sitting in fornt of the TV for hours!

I have introduced Pocoyo from Youtube to my baby when he was around 5 months old. Now that he is going 15 months in June 30, 2011, he could watch and understand cartoons much better, all he's ever wanted is Pocoyo. Nothing seems to get his interests much, except Pocoyo. He can sit and watch Pocoyo the entire dvd in contrast to Mickey Mouse dvd. Good investment when parents like me get to take a quick break.

The show is absolutely wonderful. The stories entertaining and very imaginative. What I love is how amazing the animation is and how non-verbally expressive each character is. There is also a deliberate sparseness to the background visuals, allowing the child to focus just on the characters.
