Pocoyo, co-produced by ITV STUDIOS Global Entertainment and Zinkia, has attracted a host of accolades including a prestigious BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) for Best Animated Preschool Series, three Pucinella Prizes at the Italian Cartoons on the Bay Festival and Best TV Series at the Annecy Cartoon Festival.
