** In a perhaps straighter example, ''Sports are Fun'' has a different art style reminiscent of the main show's season ''War of Invention''. The goats moreso resemble their original series versions, lacking their ''Fun Class'' outfits but still having more colorful outlines. With that said, it reverts to the original ''Fun Class'' art style a season later.

''Pleasant Goat Fun Class'' (智趣羊学堂) is a Chinese educational animated series that debuted in 2016, and is a spin-off of ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf''.

In this series, young children Weslie and his goat friends (oh yeah, and Wolffy too) explore and learn about the world around them, becoming familiarized with a variety of topics. Each season of the show is focused on a specific topic. The seasons' topics of focus, along with their general plots, are as follows:
* ''Animals & Plants'': Teaches about [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin animals and plants]]; specifically, the first half of the season focuses on animals while the second half shifts to plants. In this season, the gang must find different animals and plants to fill in an encyclopedia.
* ''Sports are Fun'': Teaches about sports, what items are used to play them, and how they are played. Weslie and Wolffy take on the roles of an athlete and a journalist respectively to teach about sports.
* ''The Earth Carnival'': Teaches earth science. The goats are guided around an earth science-themed carnival by Miss Earth the rabbit and win tickets as they go on each of its rides.
* ''Travel Around the World'': Teaches world culture. The goats travel the world in search of Mr. Slowy, finding clues to his whereabouts as they go along.
* ''Idiom World'': Teaches about Chinese idioms and what they mean. The gang must get the Idiom World back into proper shape by solving puzzles and riddles about idioms.
* ''Finding Treasures'': Teaches the history of certain Chinese artifacts. Some artifacts escape from a treasury, and the curator places the goats' gang in charge of tracking them down and returning them.

----
!!''Pleasant Goat Fun Class'' contains the following tropes:
* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: In the English dubs of ''The Earth Carnival'' and ''Travel Around the World'', the person who sings the once-per-episode songs not only has a thick Chinese accent but pronounces a number of words wrong, probably to keep up with the rhythm of the original music, which can make it hard to understand the lyrics sometimes ("Atmosphere, atmosphere, has five layers/Each layer, each layer, diffe-RENT cir-CUM-stances").
* AcronymConfusion: In one strip of the manhua, Paddi hears the acronym "WTF" and thinks, "Where's the food?" It actually means "World Taekwondo Federation".
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Wolffy is still a bit rude sometimes, but he doesn't do anything nearly as evil or harmful as he does in the original show.
* AgeLift: In the main series, Wolffy is an adult while the goats are kids. In ''Pleasant Goat Fun Class'', however, he is a young kid just like the goats.
* AgitatedItemStomping: In ''The Earth Carnival'' episode 26, Wolffy tries to go outside into the haze while wearing a face mask. When that does nothing to make the haze less harmful, Wolffy gets frustrated and stomps the mask on the ground.
* AmusementPark: ''The Earth Carnival'' has an amusement park with fun attractions, games, and rides that the characters get involved with.
* AnimeAccentAbsence: In the season ''Travel Around the World'', the goats go on a WorldTour and meet people from different countries. All of the people they meet can speak fluent Chinese with no foreign accent.
* ArtShift: In ''Sports are Fun'' episode 7, Sparky gets nervous before he competes in gymnastics and has a deliberately badly-drawn fantasy sequence where he imagines himself being stopped by a large creature during the competition.
* ArtShiftedSequel: Maybe not a sequel, exactly, but this show goes for a cuter, simpler art style compared to the original ''Pleasant Goat'' in order to appeal to preschoolers.
* AudienceShift: This spinoff is animed at a younger audience than the original show. It features cuter designs, less drama, and more education.
* BalefulPolymorph: In ''Sports are Fun'' episode 12, Wolffy is magically turned into a billiards ball for using his hand to knock one of the billiards balls into a hole.
* BananaPeel: In ''Travel Around the World'' episode 20, Wolffy slips on a banana peel and only barely lands on his toes.
* BaseballEpisode: Similar. ''Sports are Fun'' is basically an entire season dedicated to the characters learning about and playing different kinds of sports.

* CherryBlossoms: In ''Travel Around the World'' episode 14, the gang visits Japan and they see cherry blossoms falling everywhere.
* ChristmasEpisode: The first episode of ''Travel Around the World'' is about the goats and Wolffy meeting Santa in Finland.
* ChristmasSongs: The song at the end of ''Travel Around the World'' episode 1, a Christmas episode, has its melody deliberately patterned off of "Jingle Bells".

* DeliciousDistraction: In ''The Earth Carnival'' episode 17, during the river race, Wolffy throws a slice of cake to the edge of the river to distract Paddi and move ahead of him. This being the food-obsessed Paddi, he falls for the trick and gets his boat stuck as a result.

* EducationalSong: Starting with ''The Earth Carnival'', each episode has a song capping off each episode to reinforce the lesson (e.g. songs about the atmosphere and the water cycle in the season ''The Earth Carnival'' and songs about countries like Australia, Japan, and Mexico in the season ''Travel Around the World'').
* EdutainmentShow: The exact topic being taught varies depending on the season, but this spinoff has a definite mission of educating children and features the characters learning about and teaching numerous topics.

* FloatingInABubble: In ''The Earth Carnival'' episode 10, the goats go down several slides representing the seven colors of the rainbow.

* FlyingOnACloud: In ''Animals & Plants'' episode 3, Wolffy appears flying on a cloud with the encyclopedia.
* FlyingBroomstick: In ''Sports are Fun'' episode 6, Weslie and Paddi compete in a tennis match with Wolffy on a floating piece of land in the sky. A number of animals can be seen flying on broomsticks and wearing wizard clothing, including Wolffy when he first appears to challenge the goats.
* FreezeSneeze: In ''The Earth Carnival'' episode 7, when the gang arrives at the mesosphere, the drop in temperature is enough to make Wolffy sneeze and shiver.
* FrenchAccordion: ''Travel Around the World'' episode 12, which takes place in France, ends with a song whose instrumentals heavily utilize an accordion.
* GiantFood: ''Sports are Fun'' episode 5 takes place in a ski course filled with giant foods such as huge popsicles and lollipops.

While searching for it, the two come across a magical hippo woman who has their ball, a silver ball, and a golden ball in front of her and asks which of the three is theirs. Wolffy is impressed by the golden ball and tries to convince the woman it's his, while Weslie gives the honest answer and says the normal ball is the one they were using; Weslie is then given all three balls as a reward for his honesty while Wolffy is magically turned into a volleyball himself, before Weslie requests he be turned back into a wolf.
* HuskyRusskie: In ''Travel Around the World'' episode 2, the gang goes to Russia after they find one of Slowy's clues in a matryoshka doll. While there, they meet a strong bear man who helps them to retrive another Russian doll that's frozen in the water; Sparky is impressed by his ability, and the bear explains that Russians like to exercise so they can adapt to all sorts of tough weather.

* {{Jetpack}}: Wolffy uses one in ''Sports are Fun'' episode 14 to boost his jump during the trampoline competition. This gets him disqualified since it's cheating.
* KangaroosRepresentAustralia: Episode 11 of ''Travel Around the World'' has the gang go to Australia to find Slowy. Besides the other goats they see looking for him, there are also several kangaroos that appear throughout the episode.
* LanguageBarrier: In ''Animals & Plants'' episode 3, a small penguin and a large penguin can't understand each other because they don't use the same kinds of sounds. The larger penguin is actually Wolffy disguised a penguin, so he probably couldn't understand the small penguin in the first place.
* LevelAte: Episode 5 of ''Sports are Fun'' has one of these. When the characters are outside skiing, the world has huge sprinkles, candy canes, and lollipops.
* LighterAndSofter: Compared to the slapstick-heavy original show which has numerous dramatic conflicts. Everyone is cuter and kinder, they teach the viewer about the world, and the spin-off is aimed at preschoolers.
* MammothsMeanIceAge: In ''The Earth Carnival'' episode 19, in the glacier park, a mammoth saves Wolffy from falling into a crack in the ice. Miss Earth then explains why the mammoth has fur all over its body before they bring the mammoth back to its parents.
* MobileShrubbery: In ''Animals & Plants'' episode 6, Wolffy sneaks up on a giraffe while hiding under a bush in an attempt to take a picture of it. The giraffe mistakes him for a lion, thinking the bush is his mane, and runs away.
* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: The English episode descriptions often refer to the main group of protagonists as the "goats and Wolffy".

* NewhartPhonecall: In ''The Earth Carnival'' episode 16, Miss Earth gets a phone call informing her that Miss Rainforest, who is supposed to watch over the carnival's rainforest attraction, hasn't returned. Miss Earth is clearly heard reacting in surprise, but the person on the other end of the phone isn't audible.
* ObstacleSkiCourse: Downplayed in ''Sports are Fun'' episode 5. Tibbie goes skiing and ends up being chased by a Snowlem. The ski course includes only one obstacle, a huge popsicle, but Tibbie still has to avoid the popsicle while the {{Snowlem}} ends up running into it.
* OneWordTitle: In-universe, the encyclopedia in ''Animals & Plants'' has the perhaps uncreative title ''Encyclopedia''.
* OpenDoorOpening: ''Animals & Plants'' episode 1 begins with the goats opening the door to the knowledge treasure-house.
* PinballProjectile: The characters play badminton in episode 21 of ''Sports are Fun''. When Wolffy hits the shuttlecock, it ricochets all over the walls of the room before it finally lands on Weslie's side of the playing field.
* PlantPerson: In ''The Earth Carnival'' episode 16, the gang worries when a rainforest-themed carnival attraction has become lifeless. A specific girl who was working at the attraction deciding to leave was the cause, and when the gang finally finds her, they discover she's an anthropomorphic flower who left because she was worried about trees in the nearby rainforest being cut down.
* PortalPicture: In ''The Earth Carnival'' episode 25, the featured carnival attraction is a picture containing a candy world that can be entered. The candy world often experiences earthquakes, forming the educational topic of the episode.

* RiddlingSphinx: In the second segment of ''Sports are Fun'' episode 22, Weslie, dressed as a sphinx, guards a treasure chest and has the other goats answer the question of what events are featured in the Ironman Triathlon to obtain the treasure.

** ''Animals & Plants'' features an encyclopedia with the creative title ''Encyclopedia''.
** In ''Animals & Plants'' episode 2, Weslie feels the need to point out that "Tree squirrels live in the trees, ground squirrels live in grounds, and rock squirrels live in rock crevices!" as if it weren't already easy to tell by reading the names of the types of squirrels he describes.
* SigningOffCatchphrase: Two different lines are used by Weslie to conclude the episode.
** In the endings of earlier episodes, Weslie says, "So, kids, ______? We will see you all (again) next time!" where ______ is a MadLibsCatchphrase.

** The song at the end of ''Travel Around the World'' episode 1, a Christmas Episode, has its melody deliberately patterned off of "Jingle Bells".

* WishUponAShootingStar: The concept is brought up in ''The Earth Carnival'' episode 12, whose educational focus is on shooting stars. Wolffy doesn't think shooting stars will work because he wished on one for more carnival tickets, and up to that point, he quickly lost the tickets he did find.
