Oswaldo (2017)
One of the reasons I stopped watching CN
Seriously, what's going on with Cartoon Network to accept such bland series? I swear I've tried to watch this show several times, but I couldn't stand it. Generic art style you see in so many modern cartoons, Oswaldo (the penguin) has a really annoying voice, the humor seems like it doesn't even try to be funny... I still hope that CN comes back with better shows like before unlike this one.
Historietas Assombradas (para Crianças Malcriadas) (2013)
Cheap Billy & Mandy rip-off
In the early 2010s, the Brazilian Cartoon Network began to invest in the production of original animated series to comply with the ANCINE agreement for more Brazilian productions on TV channels. One of the first series was this one here.
Historietas Assombradas had actually started out as a (very average) children's horror short film made in the early 2000s, after many years in 2010 came a pilot episode (quite different from the final result of the series) that failed, but still so the creators pressured to want to continue with the series.
This show basically tries to be a rip-off for Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, but without the same charm and entertainment level of Billy & Mandy. Historietas characters are REALLY unlikeable (except for Marilu). Pepe is by far the worst character in the show, he is very immature, troublesome, selfish and is the main responsible for causing problems (at the opening of the show he just appears laughing at other people's misfortunes). And Pepe's grandmother is no better than him either, I hated her since the short film made in the early 2000s, she is a very bitter and grumpy grandmother who doesn't respect her grandchildren.
O (Sur)real Mundo de Any Malu (2015)
The cartoon version of Felipe Neto
Any Malu is the clear reason why I hate the influence of Youtubers on the public, especially children brainwashing people into believing their opinions are the truth and facts. Malu is constantly taking advantage of crossovers and references to other Youtubers and even cartoon characters, mainly those from Cartoon Network (surprisingly Any Malu received a show on this channel years later) to serve as a bait for the audience to watch this. One of the music videos was even made in an attempt to milk the success of the song Sorry by JUSTIN BIEBER!
The characters are also very stereotyped, Any Malu for example is a massive rip-off of Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony. The only decent thing I see in this show is the quality of the animation which is far superior to other Brazilian cartoons, although the studio responsible for Any Malu (Combo Studio) often brags about it.
As Aventuras de Gui e Estopa (2006)
Beginning of the decline of Mariana Caltabiano's career
Not much to say, for those who read my review about the series, you know how much I've been disappointed with how shameful Mariana Caltabiano's career making cartoons has become. This film is just lazy and is just a compilation of random episodes to start the cartoon series. The episodes are too short and some of them are really bad. The main characters Stress and Relax are also really stereotyped and unlikeable.
