Brasil Animado is a 2011 Brazilian animated comedy film directed by Mariana Caltabiano. The film is based on As Aventuras de Gui & Estopa, an animated series created by Caltabiano.

The movie combines the use of live action and traditional animation, a technique used in films like Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Space Jam. This is the first Brazilian movie completely produced with 3D technology.[4]
