Xuxinha e Guto contra os Monstros do Espaço (transl.Xuxinha and Guto against the Space Monsters) is a 2005 Brazilian computer-animated adventure film written by Flávio de Souza and directed by Moacyr Góes and Clewerson Saremba, produced by Diler Trindade and distributed by Warner Bros. and Globo Filmes. Starring Xuxa Meneghel and Pedro Malta with the participation of the voice actors Flávia Saddy, Bernardo Coutinho, Guilherme Briggs, Gustavo Pereira, Milton Gonçalves.

The film follows Guto, a 7-year-old boy who gets help from his guardian angel - Xuxinha - to fight junk-eating monsters that come from the planet XYZ, which is located in a distant galaxy, and will live in Pumzão Stream, right in the neighborhood where Guto and his friend Jonas live. The Pumzão is the ideal place for the invaders, who eat garbage and want to transform the Earth into a dump. The two will go through innumerable adventures and rely on the help of the wise homeless philosopher Euclides Arquimedes, Detective Txutxucão, and Jonas. But the great help comes from Heaven: Guto and Jonas' guardian angels: Xuxinha and Biel. The great heroine is the blonde, who gives up her angelic powers to save Guto and the planet.[5]

Still in 2004, Xuxa Meneghel considered the possibility of producing a cinematographic animation later that year. The project had the first title "Adventures of Xuxinha", but the project was canceled. Almost a year after the first announcement in 2005, Xuxa announced the launch of its first animated film. Betting on a new formula, TV hots left its traditional movie format and bet on an animation. Xuxinha e Guto, was the film is the first Brazilian animation released in 3D format.[6]

He performed poorly at the box office, grossing just R$ 2,948,878 million reais across Brazil, with 596,218 the worst box office performance of a Xuxa movie since Xuxa Requebra (1999).[4] The film has received negative reviews from specialist critics. A sequel, came to be considered, but was canceled due to the film's box office failure.[6]

Plot

Like every 7-year-old, Julian (Pedro Malta) seeks answers and explanations for the existence of some spiritual beings. This is the case with the guardian angels. Xuxa Meneghel, always convinced of their existence, the elves and God, tells the nephew how he met his guardian angel, called Xuxinha.

When Xuxa grew up, she had to go her way without the help of a faithful protector. Xuxinha was given the job of protecting another small man, Guto. Perhaps the most damned of all, the angel always had to do the impossible to save him from the confusions and dangers in which he entered. Xuxinha also counts on the aid of Biel, angel of the guard of Jonas, the great companion of adventures of Guto.

One day, the country is invaded by Xyzígenas, garbage-eating monsters from the planet XYZ, located in a distant galaxy. Knowing that Earth's inhabitants used to throw debris into the streams, polluting all the rivers of the planet, they decided that it was the best place for domination there.

The first resident to believe in the invasion was the wise Euclid Archimedes. All but the detective dog Txutxucão, Guto and Jonas discredited him. Together, they resolve to fight these stinking monsters, who have dominated the entire punch stream. Xuxinha and Biel also resolve to investigate the case, not knowing that this involvement would bring definitive consequences to the life of the angel.

Production

Still in 2004, Xuxa Meneghel considered the possibility of producing a film animation later that year.[7] The project had the first title "Aventuras da Xuxinha", and would have as heroine a blonde girl, true miniature of the hots.[7] But the project was budgeted by Ancine (Agência Nacional do Cinema), with a forecast of an expense of R$7.5 million reais, which Xuxa and its production considered very high, so the project was postponed to the year 2005, and in its place the TV hots debuted Xuxa e o Tesouro da Cidade Perdida at the end of that year (2004).[7] Almost a year after the first announcement, on June 24, 2005 Xuxa announced the release of his first animated film titled Xuxinha e Guto Contra os Monstros do Espaço, which premiered in cinemas all over Brazil in December of that year.[8][9] Xuxinha e Guto contra os Monstros do Espaço the film is the first Brazilian animation in second and third dimension.[8][10]

Xuxinha e Guto contra os Monstros do Espaço had a team of 70 animators from Twister studio, it was generated in computer, totally digital technology. The film is equated with Disney animations, but it did not cost 1% of the budget for such productions.[2] The final value reached R$6 million reais, which was hosted by TV Hots itself, which boasts of the animation hub created for this production.[2][11][12] As in the four previous films of Xuxa, the direction is of Moacyr Góes, the animation director Clewerson Saremba and the production, of Diler & Associates.[2] It took a year to get ready. It is therefore a mixture of cartoon and live action scenes (with actors acting).[13] Betting on a new formula, TV hots Xuxa Meneghel abandons its traditional film format and this year reaches theaters in an animation.[14] Director Clewerson Saremba explains that the film was drawn and animated completely on the computer. "The process of animation was based on that of conventional studios.The difference was to change the role for the computer when drawing".[13] It was not by accident that Xuxa and the producer of his films Diler Trindade decided to bet on the animation this year.[14] Clearly, there is an attempt of renewal since, every year, its productions have been earning less at the box office.[14] Xuxa explained that he agrees with the participation of animation characters to reduce production costs:

It has been a while since we matured the possibility of producing a movie with a cartoon. But putting them with me was very expensive. And as the characters Guto, Xuxinha and Txutxucão are very strong, the idea came to put them more than my image, not them counting on me, and yes, I with them.[8]

With a script signed by Flávio de Sousa, the film is faithful to what the presenter believes.[15] "We do not care about being educational. That's up to the school, not the TV Shows and Films," he says. Still, the theme of the film is ecology and the importance of recycling.[15] Despite the small participation in front of the cameras, Xuxa says that he throbbed a lot in the production of the drawing. "I'm a little annoying. Sometimes she thought that Xuxinha looked fat or sneaky, she had to change. Ten seconds of film took a week to be redone. A lot of things have been thrown in the trash, hours of work."[16] The character Xuxinha has been present in the DVDs and TV Shows of Xuxa since 1997, In the same year, the character Guto was created to represent the male children's audience of the new line of baby cleaning products.[17] Xuxa and Pedro Malta are the only real appearances in the film, the other characters are made in computer graphics and dubbed by voice actors.[18][19]

The soundtrack was produced by Ary Sperling.

If it works out, in the next one I will participate more in the scenes".[15][22] on December 17, Xuxa checked the result of the film for the first time alone.[23] For the premiere in Rio de Janeiro city, the Queen of the little ones summoned 100 children from the Xuxa Meneghel Foundation and another 50 from the Brazilian Foundation Criança Esperança, who were delighted with the performance of the animated feature, at the time, was wearing the shirt of the film.[24][25] The film was officially released on December 25 in more than 180 rooms in the country.[13]
