This cartoon has been adapted into books (which were published by Wydawnictwo PIK and later by Papilon Publicat (previously Wydawnictwo Posiedlik-Raniowski i Spółka).) and the PC games made and published by Aidem Media, which have a reputation of being absurdly hard for kids games.
The episodes are available on YouTube here
.
Tropes featured include:
- Cartoon Dog Breed: Reksio is a dog looking like a Jack Russell Terrier or Wire Fox Terrier with brown spot on left side on his eye and on his back and noodle ears.
- Character Title
- Disability Superpower: In the episode "Reksio Terapeuta" ("Reksio the Therapist"), a cockerel using a toy car as a wheelchair develops strong wings (from pushing it) and learns to fly. He saves his brother from a hawk.
- Domestic-Only Cartoon: Although credits for some later episodes featured the names of North Korean animators, those cartoons weren't outsourced to the country at all. The animators did the job inside the Studio Filmów Rysunkowych building in Bielsko Biała, Poland
- Early-Installment Weirdness: In the first episode called "Reksio Poliglota" ("Reksio the Polyglot"), Reksio wore a black collar (which was absent in following episodes) and his master looked slightly like a stick figure. Also, the first six episodes were probably pilots to the series as they didn't feature the well known theme song.
- Foreign Re-Score: Aside from having an Alternative Foreign Theme Song, VGI Entertainment's (now V&S Entertainment)note versions of the episodes replace Zenon Kowalowski's score with original compositions by Mark Bradley.
- Heroic Mime: Our protagonist never speaks, whether on screen or computer monitor.
- Instrumental Theme Tune
- Mime and Music-Only Cartoon
- Nearly Normal Animal: Of the Largely Normal kind. Reksio is obviously intelligent, occasionally has human-like mannerisms, can hold things as if with hands and walk on two legs, but behaves mostly like a dog and cannot speak with humans.
-
Nintendo Hard: The games are puzzles, and many of them have adults scratching their heads about them. - 65-Episode Cartoon
- Talking Animal: In the games, every animal except for Reksio talks.
