ultramatt2000-1 Before I stumbled upon this show on good old IMDb, I was working at the kitchen in one of those days. I heard a noise in the most grating of ways. I took look and after a second's worth of gaze, I saw something that deserves no praise. It's "Matthew Rants!" It's time for "Matthew Rants!" It's "Matthew Rants!" I'm no Spongebob Squarepants. It's "Matthew Rants!" I can bash Walter Lantz. It's "Matthew Rants!" It's time for "Matthew Rants!" OK, the first part of the song was true. I heard the sound of a bratty baby crying his lungs off and throwing tantrums. The baby was accompanied by a duck, a dog and a pink elephant! The characters are in absolute nowhere. My brain cannot handle it. I rushed to the room and changed the channel! This was the most ANNOYING thing I have ever seen in my life! Oh man! The plot is bland! There is no pop-culture references! The characters are annoying! It eats up my brain- cells. Who created this show? Zombies?! Who are the shows target audience? Ages dead to two?! That should be the real target audience! BABIES! Babies who should don't know their world around themselves! NOT @!#$*%-ING TEENAGERS. As soon as I found out what the show was and looked it up on IMDb, smoke was firing out of my ears. Smoke turned to flame and I dumped water on my head and I didn't want my hair to catch fire. Oh no! Upon reading the reviews on IMDb, teens loved it. WHAT THE WHAAAAAATTTT?!?!?!?!?!? Like I said before, this show is for babies. It is unbearable. It could make LILO AND STITCH look like ALF. It could make MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC look like THE LOONEY TUNES SHOW (read my reviews). It could make LOONEY TUNES look like MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS!!! Why would teens love it?! First Bronies (read my MLP:FIM review) and now this abomination! What next male fans of CARE BEARS are called Care-Bros? Manberries (which sounds like something out of AUSTIN POWERS), which are adult male fans of STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE? Brobies, men who play with Barbie and Ken crap?! This is the end of civilization. It's 2013, a lot of terrible things happened in our personal lives! Those terrible events in our lives puts the 13 in 2013. Bottom line: This is made exclusively for babies. So just avoid it. For the girls, I recommend MY LITTLE PONY:FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC. For the boys, PHINEAS AND FERB, T.U.F.F. PUPPY or FAIRLY ODDPARENTS. This has been another "Matthew Rants." One more thing, where are the title baby's parents?! Did they just abandon him in nowhere land?

Marshtomp8 When I first saw Pocoyo I said "Isn't that the kid from Digimon?" as the startup went on we saw a duck that looks and acts like Coach Z from the ever popular Homestarrunner.com website, a pink elephant (Witch is always cool) and a dog I though Pocoyo called "Bo-ya!" So naturally I was intrigued. Now i've seen 1/5 of the season me and my 18 year old brother are hooked! It has great appeal to everyone. My personal favourite is the episode with the Martians.Pocoyo is a small boy who looks a bit like TK from Digimon series 2. But way cooler! He speaks in short sentences but what he says is really cool and the way he says it! Elly is the pink elephant, sometimes she's cool, others she can be a real drag. So there's mixed feelings about her but the idea rules.Patto is the Coach Z and he fits the awesomeness of Coach Z! Homestar runner fans will absolutely Love this duck! He can extend his neck, spin his beak and look totally awesome. him and Pocoyo go together like Apple and Pie! I want a Patto action figure! We don't really see much of Loula (Bo-Ya) or Sleepy bird (Did i miss her?) but there are loads of side characters you can enjoy to, like the aliens and whale. PLUS Pocoyo has his own Ballon powered helicopter! How awesome is that? Believe me, watch it and you'll love it best kids TV program ever, Sorry Thoamas The Tank Engine!

ludovica36 Here are the comedy adventures of a mischievous but well meaning little boy, Pocoyo, and his friends Ellie, a pink elephant (who is very kind hearted and unselfish), and a mad duck, Pato, with obsessive compulsive tendencies, my favourite character. Other characters include Sleepy Bird, a puppy and a whale.Although this show is meant for pre-schoolers, it is rapidly becoming a favourite show for my daughter and I. The characters are incredibly cute and the stories emphasise the importance of kindness and consideration, as well as being entertaining. The narration provided by Stephen Fry is masterfully warm and appealing, without feeling patronising as so many shows for younger children tend to be.There are points in the show where Mr Fry addresses the viewer with a question, and an unseen group of children reply, filling in that awkward silence that can occur. Mr Fry's perfect diction is a big plus as well, particularly when considering the importance of this to a pre-school audience.For far too long, Children's programming has suffered dreadfully from politically correct and patronising attitudes of programme makers who want to appeal to children, but do not actually understand what they need... Simplicity, clarity,and good stories. Too much Children's TV is over busy, over coloured, sloppily presented by people who can barely speak themselves, and appearing to be aimed at immature students rather than children in terms of content.Pocoyo is an unexpected gem amidst the sea of dross.. slightly reminiscent of the original "Magic Roundabout" in feel. This show is appealing to all ages

Ben Lavington Martin This series is a marvelously crafted work of genius. The look and feel of it is spot on, inspired it would seem by retro Japanese animation and early Disney shorts being that the movements and gestures are full of expression and the story structure is simple but not patronising for little or large viewers, it has a style and charm all of its own. Pocoyo is a very well realised character of a little boy and his group of friends are a wonderful concoction of little gems, each with their own slightly surreal character traits and signature dance moves! (see the end of almost every episode!)Technically this series has a lot to offer, I studied for a masters degree in animation and sound design but I know that anyone with eyes and ears cannot fail to be impressed by the style of animation, being CG but feeling entirely like traditional stop-motion with armatured puppets and a very impressively designed soundtrack with every moment enhanced by a thoughtfully placed sound effect.This show is destined to become a cult hit in my opinion and is one of those rare examples of a show for kids which due to is high production values and boundless charm and humour will continue to entertain generations to come. When I have children of my own it will just give me and my wife yet another great excuse to sit and watch every episode all over again.It is absolutely perfect.... and I don't say that lightly!
