Oswaldo is a fun animated TV show created by Pedro Eboli. It's shown on Cartoon Network. This series is made by two companies: Birdo Studio and Symbiosys Entertainment. It first came out in Brazil on October 11, 2017. Later, it also started playing on TV Cultura on October 29, 2017.

Birdo Studio is a very well-known animation studio from Brazil. They became famous around the world for creating the mascots for the 2016 2016 Summer Olympics and Summer Paralympics. They even made short cartoons about these mascots. These cartoons were shown on Cartoon Network Brazil before the big games started.

The idea for Oswaldo was first suggested in 2014. It was a runner-up in a project in Brazil. Even though another idea won first place, Oswaldo was later chosen to become a full TV series. On September 23, 2017, it was announced that the show would be shared with other countries. Then, on February 7, 2018, the show was renewed for a second season. This new season had 39 episodes and started on June 3, 2019.

Meet Oswaldo and His School Life

Oswaldo is all about the daily adventures of a 13-year-old penguin. He's in the 6th grade, just like many kids his age. Oswaldo and his best friends, Tobias and Leia, try to get through school. They face all sorts of challenges every day.

The show uses quick jokes and lots of references to Brazilian pop culture. It follows Oswaldo, who has a special talent. He can turn the simplest things in life into huge, exciting journeys. Oswaldo's unique ways are a normal part of his family's and friends' lives. They understand that being a little different is what makes each person special.
