Meet Pocoyo DVD

Have you met Pocoyo yet?  He's a three-year-old boy with animal friends who made his Nick Jr. debut earlier this Summer.  Already an international success, this Fall, Pocoyo DVDs and toys will be available here in the U.S.


On Sunday September 5th, 2010, Pocoyo won the Kineo Diamante al Cinema Award at the prestigious Venice Film Festival in Italy, for the most successful film or TV series of the year.  In addition, Pocoyo has won three Pucinella Prizes at the Italian Cartoons on the Bay Festival.  In the U.K., the television series won a BAFTA Award (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) for Best Animated Preschool Series; and in France, won Best TV Series at the Annecy Cartoon Festival.  In the U.S., Pocoyo is the winner of a Parent’s Choice Gold Medal.

I watched a review copy of Meet Pocoyo! provided to me by NCircle Entertainment.  I loved the concept of "learning through laughter" that echos through the adventures of Pocoyo and his friends as they explore.  My twin two year old boys seemed to enjoy meeting Pocoyo too.  This DVD released September 7th, 2010 and it includes seven stories.  The tales include Pocoyo making music, blowing bubbles, solving puzzles and even watching an egg hatch.

The DVD runs 47 minutes and features both English and Spanish language tracks. Meet Pocoyo! is available at www.ncircleentertainment.com or www.amazon.com.
