Amazing

Really happy to see such a great adaptation of the comics. This movie brought ne back to my childhood in all the good ways.The characters were loyal to the comics, the story was light and kept the same atmosphere we are used to in the comics. I introduced it to my American daughter and she absolutely loved it. We need more comics in english. The plot was light and fun, the actors did a great job and the production was just beautiful.Please keep making more! We need more movies like these to remind us how our childhood was great.Monica and friends was more than a movie. A nostalgic experience.

Mônica has her sequel, with a more balanced story but less magic

Although the story in this sequel is more balanced than in first film, which had too much stretched action, I preferred the previous movie because I felt there much more of the magic realism of Limoeiro town. Problems I mentioned in my review for the first film obviously continued in this sequel: "I did not like very much the somewhat conservative way to present character's hair and appearance (although, as the story was immersive, spectator "forgets" it and becomes convinced for a while that the children over there are Cebolinha, Mônica, Cascão and Magali. Worse than the too hairy hairstyles of Cebolinha and Cascão (why not shaving on the sides and back?) is the fact that [...] Cascão [...] simply did not look dirty! Did producers forgot to buy charcoal? More serious than that, however, is the "whitewashing" of the character: Cascão is clearly light black in cartoon but they chose a white actor with long curly hairs. The children's parents did not have a proper casting either (only Dona Cebola was considerably similar to the drawing)." The clothes were more distant to the comics here than in the previous movie too. However, the friendship story in this film is consistent, there is the introduction of some more classic characters, and the Shakespeare issue worked well. Not a decision I liked, but the issue of overcoming self constraints was well addressed in the script too.
