Sítio do Picapau Amarelo (roughly Yellow Woodpecker Farm or Yellow Woodpecker Ranch) is an animated series loosely based on the eponymous series of books Sítio do Picapau Amarelo by Monteiro Lobato. It was first displayed on January 7, 2012, and is produced by Rede Globo and Mixer. Each episode of the series took five weeks to get ready and were all based on the book of Reinações Narizinho, published in 1931 by Monteiro Lobato.
The animated series began to be produced in October 2010, by Mixer Productions in partnership with Rede Globo. The model sheet of the characters was created by designer Bruno Okada, that was chosen after a competition sponsored by Rede Globo. The animation is directed by Humberto Avelar. Each episode of the series took five weeks to complete.
The animation has replaced the violence portrayed in the books by Monteiro Lobato.
In the farm lives an old widow, Dona Benta ("Mrs. Benta"), and her two grandchildren, a girl, Lúcia, referred only by her nickname Narizinho (roughly "Little Nose", because of her turned-up nose), and her cousin boy, Pedrinho ("Little Pete"); the servant and cook, a black woman named Nastácia ("Anastacia"), and two talking puppets, the rag doll Emília (animated by some of Doctor Snail's "Talking Pills" she somehow "ingested") and an and learned puppet made of corncob Visconde de Sabugosa (roughly "Viscount of Corncob") ("sabugo" means corncob in Portuguese, "Sabugosa" is a parody of the Count de Sabugosa). Viscount always wears a top hat. The farm is home to various animals, including the fat pig Rabicó ("Short-Tail"), the intelligent donkey Conselheiro ("Advisor"), and a rhinoceros called Quindim (named after quindim, a Brazilian dessert), who fled from a circus and was kept hidden by the children.
