| Related shows | El Chavo del Ocho (original series) |
After several years of successful reruns of the original series, on October 21, 2006 Televisa launched in Mexico and the rest of Latin America an animated version of the program by Ánima Estudios to capitalize on the original series' popularity. With the series, Televisa began a marketing campaign which included merchandise tie-ins. For the series' launch event, a set was built (imitating the computerized background) on which the animation was explained. Many elements of the original series, including most of the original stories, were included in the animated series.
El Chavo Animado also aired in English via Kabillion's on-demand service in North America. Although it was part of the video-on-demand service, the series did not appear on the Kabillion website until the site's April 2012 relaunch. The series is currently airing on bitMe and Districto Comedia as of 2020.
Premise
Synopsis
Based on the series El Chavo del Ocho, the cartoon shows the adventures of El Chavo, a poor boy, and his gang, who live in a village in Mexico (the Brazilian dubbing, however, moved the village's location to Brazil and in Kabillion's dub, to New York City). In the first season, all episodes of the series are remakes of episodes from the original series. With the absence of La Chilindrina, Ñoño, Popis and Quico (in school episodes) replace her role in most episodes. From the second season, the cartoon began to have episodes with totally new stories, that is, that are not based on the episodes of the series; and as of the third season, there are practically no more remakes. Also from the third season, the characters increasingly have adventures outside the village.
A big difference between the cartoon and the show is that the drawing often shows the imagination of the characters. Another difference is that Don Ramón's house is now numbered 10 instead of 72. In addition, characters like Señor Barriga and Ñoño, or Doña Florinda and Popis, often appear together, which was rare to happen in the original series, as these characters were made by the same actor or actress (Señor Barriga and Ñoño were played by Édgar Vivar; and Doña Florinda and Popis by Florinda Meza). Also in the cartoon it is possible to see Don Ramón and Quico opposite the postman Jaimito, something that had never happened in the series, because the actors Carlos Villagrán (Quico) and Ramón Valdez (Don Ramón) left the show before the postman Jaimito started to appear. In the cartoon, Jaimito's personality was kept from when El Chavo was a member of the Chespirito program, that is, in the cartoon, Jaimito lives in the village and, like Don Ramón, owes 14 months of rent; different from the classic series, where Jaimito does not live in the village and does not have rent problems like Don Ramón.
Unlike the original series, which took place in the 1970s, the drawing takes place in contemporary times, and thus it is possible to see many contemporary elements in the episodes.
Characters
El Chavo Animado features all the characters of the original series, with the exception of La Chilindrina due to ownership disputes. The series stars El Chavo, a poor boy, along with his gang, which consists of Quico, the exhibitionist and protected son of Doña Florinda, and Ñoño, a fat boy which is Mr. Barriga's son.

Background
The cartoon depicts the children to scale, compared to the live-action series where the children were played by adults. This was not the first attempt to animate the show's characters; claymation sequences were created for the original-series credits during the late 1970s, and 2D animations were used for the credits of Chespirito (the program which succeeded El Chavo and its sister series, El Chapulín Colorado).
English dub
The series was dubbed into 52 English episodes and aired in Kabillion's video-on-demand, with some changes. The theme song and most of the character names were changed, but the original theme song can be heard during the credits of nearly every episode. Spanish cuisine was Americanized, and the setting changed from Mexico to New York City. Episode titles were changed to idiomatic English.
American names
Chavo, Gloria and Quico are the only characters whose names have not been Americanized or changed. Although Paty's name sounds the same, the American version adds another "t" to the name.
