Pocoyo: Meet Pocoyo

While children's entertainment is cluttered with mediocre to poor properties, this series stands out as head and shoulders above the pack. Built on simple and entertaining story lines, each with a message that avoids topics that smack of being "politically correct", Pocoyo episodes are good stories with a good message. All that is needed. The design of this series hits a bullseye with clarity, simplicity, and appeal. The animation is solid and has loads of playful energy. Simple, good, and fun. Pocoyo: Meet Pocoyo and Pocoyo: Pocoyo and Friends are well worth the price. In fact, you don't need kids to enjoys these stories. Why this isn't widely available on television in the US one can only guess. Perhaps top Execs in the US are worried they would end up with an audience of smart kids who expect quality.

We have a 3 1/2 year old that spends some time in our home. We catch the 10 minute episodes of Pocoyo on PBS on occasion, and he just loves them, but they only come on twice a day. I thought it would be fun to have a video for rainy or boring days in the house. We really enjoyed this dvd. The cartoon is quite cute, entertaining, and fun, even for adults. The stories are short, so they keep the kids' attention, and they always have a wonderful little moral (like sharing, working together, helping a friend, etc.). And, unlike some of the popular cartoons or shows, they're not annoying or tiresome for adults to watch. I have shown this show to several children, both boys and girls, and ages 6 months to 5 years, and they all enjoy this show. I purchased 4 Pocoyo dvds at once, and ended up giving two of them to a girlfriend who has a toddler and runs a child day care from her home, and she and her kids love them, as well! And again, they range in age from a few months old to almost kindergarten. She loves that, on a rainy or housebound day, it catches and keeps the kids' attention, they laugh, play along, and really enjoy the stories. I didn't notice when I was considering purchasing this dvd, but there are several stories/skits on each dvd, which adds up to an hour (or more) per dvd. I wasn't certain, since the shows are only 10 minutes on tv, so that's why I purchased 4 dvds. But, since they are each so long and have so many shows on each one, that is why I gifted two of them to my friend. I knew her kids would enjoy them and she would make good use of them. Great purchase!

My 2-year-old daughter LOVES Pocoyo. She watches it every day on Nick Jr. after Wow Wow Wubbzy as a pre-nap treat, but it's just one little episode per day and the only way to record and watch it is to record the previous or following show and fast forward or rewind to Pocoyo. This DVD is perfect! She can watch it on long car rides or just watch it at home without me having to constantly rewind and fast forward. Such a great show. I love the animation, and my husband thinks Pato is hilarious when he dances. Fun for the whole fam, and without annoying voices or images (definitely not like Dora...phew!)

This show is colorful and easy to follow for small children. The lessons are simple and an example of good values which is rare these days on television with all of the mindless, worthless cartoons out there. My son loves it and laughs with the characters, I feel good because he is also getting a good lesson! I have recommended this to all of my friends with young children.

This is a pretty well created show compared to the others that are out there and one I don't mind watching. The characters are cute and the stories are pretty good. Not sure it will be a show my son will like for a long long time, because it is geared toward younger kids, but he enjoys it now. He is only a year, and while he doesn't just stare at the tv while it's on, he does like to watch it while playing with his toys. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good cartoon for young children.

Have yet to receive this dvd, but have seen this show on Nick Jr. and LOVED It! The little boy that I nanny is 3, and loves all sorts of different shows. For instance he loves the Last Chance to See series with Mark Carwardine and Stephen Fry. So by chance we caught this show just before his bed time, I was not paying particular attention to it (anything is better than Calliou! ). When I thought that I heard Stephen Fry. I thought it was a commercial or something so I asked Adam what was Stephen talking about, he told me that Mark &Stephen (to him the two shall never be individual ), were telling him the story. I went on Imdb, and sure enough it was Stephen Fry as the Narrator! Made my Night! Now he won't go to bed until (Mark &) Stephen tell him a Pocoyo Story! A must have for any with toddlers! :-)

My wife and I purchased this DVD after seeing Pocoyo on Nick Jr, and wanting more. The show is lighthearted, upbeat, and colorful. The stark contrast between the characters and the blank backdrop is fantastic. The mannerisms of the characters make small children love them. Each episode is rather short at about 7 minutes, but that's fine, because it keeps the writing tight. Also, it's fine when your child wants to watch "one more", since the length of time is so short. This is one of those rare shows that both parents and children enjoy. Specifically to this collection, there were not any episodes I recognized, but my family still enjoyed all of them.

Just received the two DVDs ordered - after two delays they now appear to be in stock. Am happy to have them BUT unlike the other region DVDs, this only has 7 stories - the others have been issued with 13 so I am feeling a little cheated. (Amazon's website did not list any details when I ordered). The stories included are: The Big Sneeze Drum Roll Please Umbrella, Umbrella A Mystery Most Puzzling Double Bubble Sleepy Bird's Surprise Swept Away I also think (compared to the Euro version) that these have been edited and shortened (but it's been a while since I saw the others so I might be mistaken). The quality is good and the stories are still entertaining. Just be aware that you're not buying the 1/2 season per DVD. The show itself is lovely - the backgrounds are plain white so the individual characters and props are easily seen. The stories are about friendship, sharing and caring and can easily be understood by the 3+ crowd.

È un DVD zona 1 che qui in Italia non si può vedere. Nella descrizione non c'è scritto altrimenti non lo avrei comprato. Sconsigliato

DVD機器の規格を確認せずに、買ってしまいました。再生できず、結局アメリカ在住の友人にあげました。日本規格品の『スペイン語』版はあるのかしら・・・？

good item

Tres horas de Pocoyo es perfecto par los viajes. Buena imagen y sonido. Dibujos iguales que en la televisión, muy bien.

We just love Pocoyo and this was a great buy
