Vídeo Brinquedo (Toyland Video) is a Brazilian animation studio, located in São Paulo,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Estúdio brasileiro, 2007 )〕 that produces low-budget direct-to-video animations. The company was founded in 1994 to distribute children's animation with the intention of distribution in its home market of Brazil, as well as to other global markets. The company produces and distributes animated mockbuster films with concepts similar to films by Pixar, Disney, DreamWorks and other major studios. ==Background== For the first seven years, Vídeo Brinquedo distributed home video releases of shows such as ''Sonic X'' and ''Little Lulu'' in the Brazilian market.〔 One of the studio's early distributions was an obscure religious-themed cartoon called ''United Submarine''; this title sold only a few copies until the release of the 2003 Pixar film ''Finding Nemo''. ''United Submarine'' and ''Finding Nemo'' had several similarities, such as the presence of a clownfish and a story centered on parent-child relationship. From the huge amount of sales the company had on the cartoon, Brinquedo wanted to start not only distributing cartoons but also create their own.〔 Brinquedo's first animations were traditional, 2D-styled, based on fairy tales and classics such as Pinocchio and the Three Little Pigs, but with scripts that modernized the characters.〔 They later expanded to 3D animation, their first title being ''Little Cars'' ((ポルトガル語:Os Carrinhos)), loosely based on the Pixar animated film ''Cars''. Originally aimed at children between two and three years old, over 3,000 copies were sold in more than 12 countries.〔 The original idea of the company was jump on trends raised by the major studios and start production of animation with two to three years in advance. With the company borrowing ideas established in Hollywood, company director Mauricio Milani stated: "We tried to imagine what it will be in evidence".〔 Originally released with a Brazilian Portuguese soundtrack, many of Vídeo Brinquendo's titles are co-produced with Rexmore Company do Brazil,〔 and distributed in North America by Branscome International, with English and Spanish soundtracks. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vídeo Brinquedo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
