Welcome to Muppet Wiki!
m (Vila Sésamo (1972) moved to Vila Sésamo: per old talk page discussion; not enough info or reason for two separate pages, both incarnations can go on the same page) |
(merging per old talk page discussion; double checking confirms that the new series isn't a full co-production, just new Muppet host inserts, some films, dubs of Elmo's World, etc.; more fixes soon) |

Vila Sesamo is the Brazilian co-production of Sesame Street, which ran from 1972 until 1975 on TV Globo. At the time, there was no color television in Brazil, so the show was broadcast in black and white.
The puppet characters in the series, created within Brazil, included the following: Garibaldo, a seven-foot tall blue bird equivalent to Big Bird; Gugu, a hairy green, yellow(plus other colors) Grouch; Funga Funga, a giant, red elephant; and Zé Das Latas, the street's resident robot. Three more characters were added during the show's final season. All of the puppets were created by local Brazilian designers, with no known involvement from the Muppet Workshop.
The series was successful, but was canceled due to overwhelming financial costs.
On October 29, 2007, TV Cultura launched a new Vila Sésamo. Rather than a full co-production, the series featured new host segments featuring Garibaldo (now a duplicate Big Bird puppet) and a new Muppet girl named Bel. The package consisted of Portuguese-dubbed episodes of Elmo's World, Play With Me, Sesame, and Global Grover, plus 78 locally produced live-action and animated segments to fill out the block.
The TV special 40 Years TV Cultura, which preceded the new series, featured a refurbished version of the original Garibaldo introducing the new bird.
