My Pato! (Pocoyo)

"My Pato!" Is the 24th episode of the second season of Pocoyo.

Plot
Pocoyo and Elly forgot that it was Pato's birthday, so they compete to see who can make it up to him faster.

Why it wasn't a Happy Birthday for Pato

 * 1) Pocoyo & Elly are at their absolute worst in this episode, as they keep fighting each other throughout the episode, and they also keep torturing Pato only because they are planning to say happy birthday to him, & that cause is because they forgot about Pato's gift. While it is justifiable, it's very poorly executed.
 * 2) It is a Pato torture episode, as he keeps getting tortured by Pocoyo & Elly, only to say happy birthday to him. Even going as far as by trapping him in a cage.' Which is very unnecessary for a preschool tv show episode.
 * 3) Pocoyo & Elly's character in this episode is derailed, as usually, they create character development in the series by being very caring towards each other, by this episode right here proves that their character is derailed.
 * 4) Caterpillar & Baby Bird are unlikeable characters as well, Instead of feeling bad for Pato for him being treated by Pocoyo & Elly, they become very happy, cheerful, & gleeful about it, and throw peanuts at him, despite the torture Pato is going through. Making it look like they wanted to side with Pocoyo & Elly & torture Pato as well.
 * 5) Pocoyo & Elly receive no punishment aside from being told off by the narrator, as they remain unpunished, & get off scot-free for their cruel & disrespectful actions.
 * 6) The episode feels like a rip-off/rehash of Yours, Mine, & Mine from SpongeBob SquarePants (despite that episode airing nearly 3 years after this one), as both Pocoyo & Elly & SpongeBob & Patrick fight over something for a reason. The only difference is that Pocoyo & Elly are fighting over a friend while SpongeBob & Patrick are fighting over a toy.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) At least Pocoyo & Elly apologized to each other & Pato for their cruel actions towards Pato. Making them somewhat tolerable characters at least. However, the same cannot be said for another Pato torture episode.
 * 2) The ending was decent, with Pocoyo & his friends having a birthday party on the bus with some birthday decorations.
 * 3) Pato & the Narrator are tolerable & likable characters.
 * 4) The episode does show a good moral that it’s better to stay cordial to your friends rather than fight, especially if it’s at a birthday party.

Reception
The episode received negative feedback from fans & reviewers, possibly due to how Pato kept getting tortured.
