Friendship Vale (El Chavo Animado)

Friendship Vale (El valor de la amistad in the original) is episode 12 of the third season of El Chavo Animado.

Why It Has No Friendship

 * 1) Ñoño at his absolute worst in this episode and is completely out of character, as he is the responsible for making all his friends fight among themselves in the classroom just to try to win the toy airplane Fantasma F-18. His live-action counterpart would have NEVER done that. This is easily the moment where the writers jumped the shark with Ñoño replacing La Chilindrina, as it is took way too far.
 * 2) The episodes starts with a filler scene where the kids plays baseball. This filler scene lasts the half of the episode!
 * 3) Quico is pretty unlikeable in the first half because he gets angry because Chavo won instead of him and complains to him.
 * 4) As usual, Doña Florinda does nothing to stop her son's selfish behavior and blames Don Ramón for Quico's loss.
 * 5) An animation error occurs when Chavo tears sheets from his notebook to form a ball of paper to throw at Quico and his notebook is still there.
 * 6) Even after the paper fight they all had, they are still upset that no one could have the toy airplane because of their bad behavior, so they decide to separate.
 * 7) Rosita, a character too interesting for the animated show, was totally wasted when it was learned that in the end she became a magical sphere (possibly a fairy).
 * 8) With this episode, can make anyone (Especially the child audience) get the idea that fighting with others gets things done.
 * 9) Paty, while likable for the most part, has an out of character moment when Chavo throws the paper ball at Quico and accidentally hits her insteas, resulting in she getting angry at him. Paty would never get angry at Chavo, unless the episode of Que Bonita Navidad!, making this out of character for her.
 * 10) Even in the school part isn't much more interesing because is just the kids arguing for a stupid reason.

Reedeming Qualities

 * 1) El Chavo, Popis, Paty, Godínez, Don Ramón and Professor Jirafales are likeable characters.
 * 2) *Despite how he acted in the beginning, Quico would become more likeable in the second half.
 * 3) At least Ñoño got what he deserved for causing the fight while Profesor Jirafales was away.
 * 4) Albeit poorly executed, the episode gives the moral that you shouldn't fight and that you should know how to forgive your friends.
 * 5) Ok Ending: After a friendly game of baseball, everyone immediately makes up, admitting that this recess is the best of all. Upon entering the classroom, they don't find Rosita, but come across a basket of ham sandwiches and a note saying that they have understood the value of friendship and enter the classroom with the basket. Chavo takes advantage with a passing cake, however a little bell rings and it turns out that Rosita turned into a magic sphere (possibly a fairy) that tells Chavo "Hasta pronto, Chavo" and Chavo replies "Hasta pronto, Rosita" and flies away.
