The Great Brazil Spotlight

Brazil seems to be one of the biggest Telenovela and drama exporters worldwide, which is mostly truth in telly, because it is the country that practically originated the whole telenovela genre in the first place. 

Despite the fluctuating but mostly pretty bad corruption and far too much habitat loss for virtually all of its ecosystems combined, Brazil’s pop culture is definitely better set for international posterity than those of most majority world countries, regardless of the circumstances surrounding them all. This is exacerbated by the fact that Brazil as a country has media archives which are actually decent but primarily located in parts of the southeast and far south, mostly because film reels are frail as heck. 

Amongst its literary classics for kids is an infamous crack fiction work, The Yellow Woodpecker Branch, a prototypical Narnia with characters from the folklores of many nations, meeting each other in the eponymous ranch. 

Ironically, it also gave us the countless MockBusters of Video Brinquedo, a company which once distributed actual legitimate Brazilian Portuguese dubs of many old kids shows 

Many of its telenovelas are pretty popular with a lot of people around the world, and are sometimes remade even in the various Brasilia or Carioca sub-dialects of Brazilian Portuguese, as for both extant versions of the telly classic Bicho do Mato.
