This series is really good but i know another very good brazilian series the name is Família batata
The exaggerated visual and incredible voice acting make this show one of a kind. Really. Trust me: it's the Brazillian equivalent of Rick and Morty, with nice scripts and it's own style of making comedy. I was born in '95 and it's SO UNBELIEVABLE ACCURATE.
I can't believe this show hasn't been exported to the US or the rest of the world yet, with almost 8 years of airing (as of this writing). It's got high quality writing and animation that's on par or even better than that of most American cartoons.
The show revolves around a little boy who is overshadowed by his big bro and wants to prove his own worth. Many of the episodes have relatable plot lines and funny, absurd moments that make it very entertaining to watch, including continuity and/or inside jokes within the series itself.
One of my favorite running gags is a random object turning out to be the disguise of Gesonel the duck, who then jumps out as his theme music plays, saying: "Gesonel, master of disguises!" In fact, most of the characters are likeable, especially Jorel's brother himself and his Grandma Juju.
The show is also full of funny gags and lines, and has relatable occasions that most people have lived during their childhoods such as: trying to impress your crush, missing out on a popular show, trying to not be late for class, using a multicolor pen, being grounded in your room, and many others. Another of my favorite traits is how well it represents Brazilian culture, with examples including our Festa Junina and Carnaval.
The only thing I think could improve is the lack of focus on some of the supporting characters, as some of them have very few lines and, on occasion, spend entire seasons without any lines. Due to this, I hope the writers give more focus to them in the future.
Overall, an incredible, fantastic creation by Juliano Enrico and Copa Studio. This cartoon sure deserves more recognition around the world, and to last many more years. I remember watching the series premiere way back in 2014 and thought it was an ugly stupid show at first, but after deciding to give it a chance, I found out I was completely mistaken.

It's placed on Brazil, more specifically on the Brazilian 80s/90s. I wasn't in these times and I know it's so accurate, for sure it will have some plus points from some people due to the nostalgia. The show, most of the time, is well-paced, thus, it won't be boringly slow or confusingly fast. The characters are honestly perfect, all of them have their own unique personalities that will be well-used at some point, either for a plot device, their development or just a gag/joke. The comedy is a bit niche, it's funnier to the Brazilians. Still though, the characters are funny due to their exaggeration of doing pretty much anything, it's a "what the f*ck?"kind of humour that works well on the show. The voice acting, just like the Brazilian in general, is really good, so the characters are greatly dubbed, their voices themselves are funny already. The animation reminds flapjack, also the visual in general, it has sometimes gross-out takes and different kinds of animation.
Overall it's a great show that shows how FUNNY a cartoon can and SHOULD be (in my opinion). I recommend, and this is not a joke, any episode of it, I don't know if it's already aired abroad but trust me, it should and, hopefully, it will.

Beside the Brazilian's references, it's pure gold for anyone. Do you remember how cool was to watch Dexter's Laboratory? That's it.
