Sítio do Picapau Amarelo: Viagem ao Céu

If the Sítio gang’s imagination usually knows no bounds, just imagine what happens when they decide to embark on a "Journey to the Sky"! First, Pedrinho builds a telescope. Then, the boy gathers Narizinho, Emília, Visconde, Conselheiro, and Tia Nastácia. They arrive in a strange, mysterious place, decide they are on the Moon, and—just like that—cause such a ruckus that they wake up Saint George’s dragon! And that’s only the beginning, as the gang goes on to visit other planets, ride comets, and even meet a new companion: an innocent little angel with a broken wing. Meanwhile, a group of astronomers is preparing to announce the first intelligent life forms spotted in space. Guess who they turn out to be!

Directed by Márcio Trigo, Pedro Vasconcelos, Marcelo Zambelli, Sítio do Picapau Amarelo: Viagem ao Céu leans on a strong ensemble — Nicette Bruno, Dhu Moraes, João Acaiabe — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about fantasy titles of 2001.
