Why watch the movie Mauricio de Sousa: The Movie?

Mauricio de Sousa: O Filme is a bland biopic, the kind that only serves to place someone on a pedestal without ever adding any complexity. On the one hand, this is annoying. On the other, it's okay. After all, the feature film, directed by Pedro Vasconcelos, is a celebration of the life of one of Brazil's greatest cartoonists and illustrators, the father of characters like Horácio, Cebolinha, Cascão, Mônica, and Magali. A film for all ages that, ultimately, tells the behind-the-scenes story of how Turma da Mônica got to where it is today.
