Pocoyo!

I recently discovered the most adorable children's show on Netflix's Watch Now instant viewer. It's called 'Pocoyo.' Has anyone else heard of it? I simply found it by accident and now it is a favorite of our whole family. (Yes, both Jay, and I, and James will all huddle around the laptop watching Pocoyo) It is extremely simple- not much background, just a little boy who looks like Hello Kitty, with his friends, an elephant, duck, dog, and sleepy bird. They play against a white backdrop while a narrator who sounds just like the narrator from Winne The Pooh talks to Pocoyo. It is sooo cute. I know it's not produced in the U.S., but I am not sure if it's English. I think it may have been translated from another language (possibly Spanish?) into English. (Real British English, not American English.) James absolutely loves it- I ask him if he wants to watch Pocoyo, and he runs all the way upstairs to find the laptop, yelling 'poco!' So if little kid shows are your thing check this out. Pocoyo 'Don't Touch'

Gosh that took me down memory lane when my son was as young and I used to watch all such shows with him though of course Sesame Street dominated.

I watched the video-clip and Pocoyo IS adorable and the accent of the narrator is most likely British, not entirely sure but definitely not American.

Yes cute. Is that animation, claymation or what?
