Gui e Estopa

I remember I liked this show in my childhood, but watching it today it's a very shameful cartoon, mainly because they do episodes about Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Twilight, and Tchu Tcha just to milk their success at the time. It's just a big NO!

This show was originally derived from characters from a children's website called Iguinho created by Mariana Caltabiano in the 2000s. I remember that this was one of my first childhood sites and also one of my favorites, I loved the site because in addition to games they had really cool animations for the time. The characters had a very cute design and the jokes were very funny, but everything changed when Caltabiano decided to move the characters to a low-budget show for Cartoon Network in 2008. At first I loved it (just not liking that Iguinho's name was changed to Gui), but as the years went by the script only got worse drastically with the characters getting more and more stupid and an exaggerated and unnecessary use of pop culture characters to gain an audience. The art style has also changed a lot, Iguinho/Gui being the worst case, now being very thin, without his red cap and with huge eyes looking like a Mickey Mouse rip-off. I am disappointed to see that the cute and funny characters that once cheered my childhood on the internet are now a series of bad cartoons and that never seems to end.
