Trailer
Why watch this film?
"Turma da Mônica: Laços" arrived in theaters in 2019 surrounded by suspicions. There were doubts if the universe created by Mauricio de Sousa would really work with real, flesh-and-blood actors. Would the magic hold up on the big screen? But it was a pleasant surprise: it hit the mark with its cast, the reconstruction of Bairro do Limoeiro and the way it dealt with the story. So it's no surprise that the feature film has a sequel with "Turma da Mônica: Lições", which brings Daniel Rezende ("Bingo") back to the director's chair, as well as bringing back all the children's cast. Here, Monica, Cebolinha, Magali and Cascão show that they are more mature. They start to face the dilemmas of growth and, therefore, the dramas become more painful. Obviously, much of what appears on the screen is related to the dramas of adolescence - the difficulty in saying "I love you", the relationships that become complex and so on. And in this mix, there is a lot of truth in what is said and shown, going beyond the child adventure we saw in the first feature film. There is no brilliant moment like the appearance of the Madman in "Laços", but the whole work is all right, with a mixture of nostalgia and excitement for the new that appears there.

Bingo: The King of the Mornings
Based on the true story of actor Arlindo Barreto, who played the clown Bozo in the mornings of SBT in the 1980s. Even though he was unable to use the real character and TV stations, the production signed by Daniel Rezende manages to capture the spirit of that time. Special mention also for Vladimir Brichta's performance in the role of the protagonist. It is certainly one of the best Brazilian films of 2017.

Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp
After getting kicked out of the forest, Woody thinks he’s found a forever home at Camp Woo Hoo — until an inspector threatens to shut down the camp.
Robot Dreams
Sometimes we get so carried away by the marketing power of studios like Disney Pixar, and we overlook other avenues for deep and powerful animated stories that don't need excessively complex plots to evoke emotions. Such is the case with Robot Dreams, a Hispanic-French production directed by Pablo Berger (2012’s Snow White), based on the eponymous graphic novel by Sara Varon. Set in New York during the 80s, the story follows Dog, whose solitary life leads him to buy a robot for companionship. Their friendship grows, but an unfortunate day at the beach forces them to separate and long for the day of their reunion. Virtually without dialogue, with vibrant animation and a captivating visual language, the film tells a simple yet profoundly moving story about (curiously) human relationships and the course they take despite (or because of) accidents, fortuitous circumstances, and uncontrollable events that happen throughout life.
Masha and the Bear: Twice the Fun
Masha leaves the forest in pursuit of an adventure in the city, where she encounters many unexpected situations and surprises while attending a wedding, and later seeks to do everything in her power to save Christmas.
