Brasil: the Dog Adventure (also known as Brasil Animado) is a fun animated comedy movie from Brazil. It came out in 2011. The film was directed by Mariana Caltabiano. This movie is based on As Aventuras de Gui & Estopa, which is an animated cartoon series. Mariana Caltabiano also created that show.

The film uses a cool mix of live action and traditional animation. This means real actors and animated characters appear together. Other famous movies like Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Space Jam used this technique too. Brasil: the Dog Adventure was also the first Brazilian movie made completely with 3D technology. This makes the images look like they pop out at you!

What's the Story About?

The movie follows two dog friends named Stress and Relax. They go on an exciting adventure to find the oldest tree in Brazil. This special tree is called the Cariniana legalis.

The dogs aren't sure which city the tree is in. Relax just wants to have fun and learn about Brazil's different cultures. But Stress is very eager to find the tree. He hopes to get rich by selling souvenirs of it.
