Pocoyo (Pocoyó in Spanish) is a Spanish pre-school animated cartoon series created by David Cantolla, Luis Gallego and Guillermo García Carsi of Spain. It is about a young boy dressed in blue, who is full of curiosity. Viewers are encouraged to recognise situations that Pocoyo is in, and things that are going on with or around him. Each character has its own distinctive dance, and most episodes end with the characters dancing.
Pocoyo's world is set in a 3D space, with a plain white background and no backdrops. The show is created with Softimage XSI software.
Two series have been produced, each consisting of 52 seven-minute episodes. Channel Five has acquired terrestrial rights in the United Kingdom to the first and second series, making it part of the Milkshake! strand. The show, which is a co-production between Spanish producer Zinkia Entertainment and Granada International, will continue to air on the CITV Channel. TVE2 broadcast the second series in Spain starting in April 2008.   A future third series is on hold as the makers wish to embark upon other projects, one of which may be a Pocoyo movie.
The technical quality in the development of each chapter, along with the original story lines also created by the Director, Guillermo Garcia Carsí, excellent sound and the meticulous animations have made Pocoyo a high quality product and a success all over the world. In June 2006, Pocoyo was awarded, at the 30th International Festival of Annecy, the Cristal Award for the "Best TV Production".
