I found a doodle of the cute little doll girl and now im intrigued. Tell me more! Also, is there a place I can watch this in english subs?
Well, since you're all ears, let me lay it all out for you:
This is EmĂlia, a ragdoll created by one Aunt Nastacia, and brought to life by a "talking pill", although the implication is that she was always technically sentient since the day she was made, just inanimate.
As you can see, she is very expressive and adorable.
She's also kind of a biological anomaly, but that's a post for another time.
She comes from a book series called "Sitio Do Picpau Amarelo", or "Yellow Woodpecker Farm", written by Monteiro Lobato, one of Brazil's most influential writers, which among other things, got turned into a cartoon in 2012, which is the version I'm most interested in.
Basically, there's this farm in the middle of Brazil where just about anything can happen, like an ear of corn that knows math, a evil crocodile witch, or a talking ragdoll!
The show ran from 2012 to 2016 for three seasons of 26 11-minute episodes on both Rede Globo and Cartoon Network in Latin America. Sadly, aside from some DVD releases, the show's never had an official release beyond its initial airings, you're not gonna find it on any streaming services that I know of, even with a VPN.
Which brings us to the good news: the entire show is archived and fansubbed over on Internet Archive! Be warned though, the first two seasons are .mkv files, so you'll need a program that can play them, like VLC Player if you want subtitles, since IA's video player doesn't seem to support subs.
Thank you so much for coming to me about this show, it means a lot to me, and it's half the reason why I started this blog.
