Mundo da Lua

Mundo da Lua (World of the Moon) is a Brazilian children's fantasy television series that aired on TV Cultura from 6 October 1991 to 27 September 1992, totalling 52 episodes. It was created by Flávio de Souza and starred Luciano Amaral. It is currently shown on TV Rá-Tim-Bum.

Plot
The series features Lucas Silva e Silva (Luciano Amaral), a ten-year-old boy who lives with his grandparents, parents, sister and maid in a townhouse in São Paulo. His father, Rogério (Antônio Fagundes), is a teacher who works hard, and his mother, Carolina (Mira Haar), works at a boutique. His older sister is called Juliana (Mayana Blum), and the maid is called Rosa (Ana D'Lira). Lucas is given a tape recorder by his grandfather, Orlando (Gianfrancesco Guarnieri), for his birthday. Lucas uses the tape recorder to record his childhood fantasies, which feature prominently in each episode.

Spin-off
In 1993, following on from Mundo da Lua and featuring its main character Lucas, TV Cultura broadcast a five-episode educational series titled ''Lucas e Juquinha em Perigo! Perigo! Perigo! (Lucas and Juquinha in Danger! Danger! Danger!''). The series showed Lucas helping his younger cousin, Juquinha, navigate common household hazards such as medicine, fire and electricity.

2020 revival
In April 2020, Luciano Amaral created a stand-alone, 'lockdown' episode of Mundo da Lua, with the title "Bem-vindos de Volta ao Mundo da Lua" ("Welcome back to Mundo da Lua"). The episode was released on social media to encourage people to stay at home.

In September 2020, a new episode of Mundo da Lua was created using artificial intelligence.
