A Spanish Show
No doubt, everyone looks for a source that is full of entertainment and good information for children. In this modern technological world, it is seen very easy to select such source but selection procedure may be tough due to availability of millions of such art and animation productions in a variety of schemes, shows, languages and cartoon characters. In my view, a child is unable to predict what is good or bad, so it is totally dependent on the parents of any child what they prescribe best for their children.
In addition, I am also a mother of a cute, little and mischievous daughter and I see myself as a prime selector of cartoons which she should watch, so I personally evaluate these shows too. One of my selected pre-school animation shows is Pocoyo, owing to funny cartoon characters which are not a source of fun for my daughter but also she learns a lot of valuable skills and terms by watching it.
One important news for this Pocoyo animated TV show; recently in 2006, this animated show won an award of Best Television Production in Crystal Awards on 30th Animated Film Festival in relation to Annecy International. This cartoon show is basically Spanish but is available in English language too and is seen by the audience of Spain, United Kingdom, Russia, and Philippines on their national TV channels. It is popular all over the world and is seen by mostly children community.
As far as, its cartoon characters are concerned, these are divided into two types.
-
Main Cartoon Characters
-
Recurring Cartoon Characters
In main cartoons, characters like Pocoyo, Elly, Pato, Loula, Narrator, Terry, Sparkles, Sleeping Bird and Children Group are included. Recurring characters have Aliens, Baby Bird, Ball Orchestra, Butterfly, Octopus, Music Flower, Whale, and Baby Spider. Narrator is a person who speaks throughout the each episode to guide and help Pocoyo and other cartoons. While children group is also source of background laughs and voice, both of these are creating a very understanding environment for audience.
In short, these cartoons were produced in three different series like 2003, 2004-2006, and 2006-2009 and every series almost contain fifty two episodes full of fun and enjoyment. According to my experience, once a child starts to watch this show, will definitely stick with it and want to see it on regular basis even elders too can enjoy it just like me.
