History WesternAnimation / TimothyGoesToSchool

* AdaptationalHeroism:
** In the series some of Wells characters act a lot nicer than in the books that they appeared in.
** Charles's parents (mainly his father) are much nicer than they were in the original book version "Shy Charles" [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_inline_nl7l95uje51s8t8db.jpg where his father starts harshly calling him out on his shyness during a game of football causing Charles to cry.]]
** Claude actually becomes friends with Timothy later in the series while in the original book version he never becomes friends with Timothy and continues to dislike him.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: In the book "The Halloween Parade", Doris' fifth-grade brother is dressed as "''Snells'' Angels", [[ParentalBonus complete with a fake motorcycle.]]

* FreePrizeAtTheBottom: In one episode, Nora decided to forego her normal breakfast cereal in favor of something called "Weeds and Seeds" so that she could get the prize of emerald slippers at the bottom as a birthday present for Yoko. And she was such a good little girl that she actually ate the stuff, only to find that to her disappointment, there was only one slipper, and it was some dinky little thing. Her mother suggested making a necklace out of it and she did, but thought her gift was lame and didn't want to give it to Yoko at first. When she finally did, Yoko was delighted, as the slipper was the mate to one that she already had.

* SuddenlyVoiced: Charles never talked in the original ''Shy Charles'' story, and some of the Yoko and Friends books. He's more vocal in the show compared to his debut appearance.

''Timothy Goes To School'' is a children's animated series that ran from 2000 to 2001. Produced by Creator/{{Nelvana}}, it follows the day-to-day life of Timothy, a 5-year-old raccoon who attends kindergarten, and the rest of his classmates. Once seen on Creator/PBSKids Bookworm Bunch, it later aired on [[Creator/DiscoverChannel Discovery Kids]] and Creator/{{TLC}} during their weekday block "Ready Set Learn" until 2006. Most if not all installments of the series are available on DVD. Some were U.S. releases, others were in Canada, which makes them region 1, but potentially challenging to find. The series was later added to Creator/{{Qubo}} in the United States and the show has also been made available freely in many regions by Creator/TreehouseTV on Website/YouTube.

** AbsenteeActor:

** Adaptationspecieschange:**
Grace was a rabbit in the books but a cat in the cartoon

* AbsenteeActor:

* FurryConfusion: In some episodes, there is a drawing of a non anthropomorphic cat in the classroom. It can be strange to look at the drawings and seeing Yoko, Grace, or Juanita near the drawing.

* IAteWhat: In "My Family," Nora is feeling down on her little brother Jack because he's always crying and doing stuff like scribbling on her homework. In the morning, before going to school, she's excited to take a special butterscotch pudding she made with her mother to school. Her mother tells her that it's in the refrigerator in the "green container." She grabs it and puts it in her lunch bag. At lunch, however, when she goes to taste it, she find it doesn't taste at all like pudding and it smells bad too. Claude looks at it and points it doesn't really look like pudding either, and Nora realizes that it's Jack's baby food, which was also in a green container. She mutters to herself that she wishes she didn't have a little brother.

** In the episode "The Music Tree" Nora can be seen wearing a pot on her heard. This is a reference to one of the ways of getting her mother's attention in the original book "Noisy Nora".

* {{Half Dressed Cartoon Animal}}s: [
** [PantslessMalesFullyDressedFemales The male cast]], except Charles and Timothy when he wore suspenders in the first episode [[note]] he also wears these in the original 1981 book and 1998's "Yoko" [[/note]].

* FamilyThemeNaming: Doris's older brothers have the rhyming names of Boris, Horace and Morris.

-->'''Charles''': (''[[ExpressiveEars ears dropping]]'') Good remembering, Lilly.

* StringOnFingerReminder: In "Don't Lose It, Lilly," Lilly has one on her finger because Miss Jenkins, the teacher, says that it'll help her remember where she put her things. However, when Charles asks her if it works, she admits in hasn't yet. Later in the episode, as she and Charles are being drenched by a rainstorm, she remembers that it was to remind her to bring her umbrella.

* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: Juanita, a Spanish cat, is introduced in the last two episodes.

%% * {{Funny Animal}}s

* PettingZooPeople: Pretty much. The characters really don't display much of anything in the way of animal traits other than having ExpressiveEars, the only concession being that as mice, Charles and Nora are both rather smaller than the other characters. In "Taking the Plunge," Timothy is even reminded to put on sunscreen, but how does a raccoon covered in fur wear sunscreen? RuleOfFunny?
