Awesome Angry Duck

It is rare that I let my TV sit on the Treehouse childrens network for longer than a second or two, but, by chance, I stumbled across this TV show which absolutely intrigued me. It is simply called Pocoyo (apparently it means "a little of me" in spanish, but it is rooted in the mispronunciation of a bedtime prayer by the daughter of one of the producers).

The animation is excellent, the characters are interesting and cute, but, most importantly, the duck is sarcastic! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I have enjoy plenty of Poko...Might have something to do with my nephew.. but,great claymation is hard to find these days...

Surprisingly enough, it actually isn't claymation. It is fully computer animated, but purposefully done with the claymation style. I love the work of Nick Park (Wallace and Gromit is one of his more well known creations) but it would be near impossible to reach this kind of clarity and smoothness with true stop-motion animation.
