One, two, three, let's trope!

• All-CGI Cartoon: Since the beginning, Mi Perro Chocolo has been made in CGI. Subverted with the 2020 series that includes some songs made with 2D animation.
• Animal Naming Conventions: Cocoró the Rooster has that name because "cocoró" is the Spanish sound that roosters and chickens make.
• Animal Stereotypes: Multiple.
  • Pancho is the Big Eater, as the pig he is.
  • Chocolo as a dog is very animated and cheerful.
  • Dulcita the cow is the Gentle Giant, calm and sweet.
• Art Evolution: The evolution between the old and new videos is huge, with better models. Chocolo himself was changed mostly the look than the design. A good example of both can be seen in El Baile de Chocolo^note The Chocolo Dance (also known as "A mi perro Chocolo le gusta bailar"^note My Chocolo dog likes to dance), this is the old version and this is the new one.
  • Subverted in some animals that are very similar to the old versions, like Chocolo, Josefina, Pancho and Cirilo, with few differences between old and new versions.
  • Call-Back: The old design of Chocolo is seen in some videos as one of his dog friends.
• The Baby of the Bunch: Josefina's baby chickens, one of them even has their own songs.
• Canon Immigrant: In one of their videos, Corchito (a cork cat from Atiempo's animation Recórcholis y Corchito) appears with Chocolo in a Christmas greetings video.
• Cheerful Child: Chocolo. In general all the children are this, but Chocolo is more cheerful than the rest of the cast.
• Decoy Protagonist: Despite of being part of the series, the One, Two, Three, Lets's Play! series have the children (Lila, Renato, Cocoró and Pancho) as the main characters, with Chocolo as one of the supporting characters instead of being The Protagonist.

• Kid-Appeal Character: The protagonists of One, Two, Three, Lets's Play! are all children: Lila, Renato, Cocoró and Pancho.
• Merchandise-Driven: The series became so famous that actually in Chile you can find plushes, figures, posters and even birthday party supplies with Chocolo and Friends.
• No Focus on Humans: In the first version, there's the little girl with her family (father, mother and a little baby, the former even appearing in one song), but in the new version, there's only Lila as the only human present (assuming she's the same girl from previous version, even when the design is completely different) and friend of the other animals. And in one song, there's Martin, another child as Lila, that only appears in that song.
• No Fourth Wall: Mostly seen in One, Two, Three, Lets's Play! in which show's kids teach children about how to play games and use the imagination.
• Nursery Rhyme: Various songs of the series are these, with renditions of old Chilean nursery rhymes with Chocolo and friends.

• Rhyming Names: Several of Chocolo's animal friends have this kind of name thanks to some songs, later appearing as Canon in One, Two, Three, Lets's Play! series:
  • Josefina la Gallina^note Josephine Chicken
  • Renato el Pato^note Renato Duck
  • Pancho el Chancho^note Pancho Pig
  • There're some exceptions like Cirilo the Horse, which in the same song his name comes from an alliterative phrase:
  Cirilo el Caballo come zapallo^note Cirilo the Horse eats pumpkin
• There Are No Adults:
  • Humans at least. Averted in the old version in which little girl's parents are present in some of the videos.
  • In the new series, Chocolo, Josefina, Dulcita and Cirilo are seen as the adults for the kid characters in One, Two, Three, Lets's Play! series. And in some of the songs, appears Pancho's mother, who's a pig as him, but with Tertiary Sexual Characteristics, also being the teacher of the kids' preschool.
