| 5 | Taking direct inspiration from the [[Literature/DonQuixote 17th-century classic novel]] about a delusional Spanish nobleman who fancies himself a medieval knight and wishes to live a life bound by an honorable code, the main character is an anthropomorphic coyote who drags his dear panda friend Sancho throughout the countryside, seeking to gain fame as a valiant knight who can best any monster and save beautiful princesses. |

| 11 | !!Tropes in this work include: |
| 12 | * AnthropomorphicAnimalAdaptation: The series took the two leads and turned them into the pun-based animals. |
| 13 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Don Coyote's main attribute is being easily swept away by his overactive imagination and pretending reality is nothing but playing knight with everyone around him. |
| 14 | * DeadpanSnarker: Sancho Panda, Rosinante and Dapple all go along with Don Coyote's ridiculous plans, but they'll always have something to say. |
| 15 | * {{Foil}}: Unsurprisingly, the titular characters closely followed the theme of the Cervantes work. The ever-hallucinating Don was the cloudcuckoolander who never met a damsel he didn't have the urge to save or a dragon he didn't have the urge to slay. Sancho remained his loyal, albeit cynical, voice of reason. |
| 16 | * FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: Sancho Panda is fully clothed. |
| 17 | * HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Don Coyote only wears boots and plate on his chest and up. |
| 18 | * LiteralMinded: Don Coyote was often misunderstanding what he was told. For example, he'll get offended by accusations of trespassing, stating that he’s “passed no tresses”. |
| 19 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: This was Don Coyote's schtick in a nutshell. 9 times out of 10, the problems he encountered were caused by ''himself'' whilst trying to stop an imaginary emergency. |
