>nahhhh, maybe i was expecting too much, but i think you lost me
https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%ADtio_do_Picapau_Amarelo_(álbum_de_1977)
I am not meming around, the songs for the 1977 adaptation of Sitio do Picapau Amarelo had creative talent like Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Chico Buarque, etc. behind the music. It is not going to blow you away if you are expecting artsy and avant garde MPB, but like Schoolhouse Rock! or The Electric Company, they are childhood staples for kids born before the internet age. They are not going to worm their way in like a Disney song, but they are par with The Muppets' or 31 Minutos in terms of catchiness.

The ones for the short lived '70s Brasilian version of Sesame Street are performed and composed by Marcos Valle who has been around for decades and dabbled in many genres. They are kitschy, yes, and even childish, given the target audience, but far from the soulless cash grab they could have been. I would know, I owned the Brasilian tie in album for Saint Seiya (Os Cavaleiros do Zodiaco) and that one is a soulless cash grab in every sense of the word, even I can admit that, without my nostalgia goggles on, but I do enjoy it in the same way that I could enjoy Dee Dee Ramone's hip hop album, it is good for shit and giggles, like a B movie, just not what I would recommend in earnest. But I do stand by the Vila Sesamo and Sitio do Picapau Amarelo albums. I don't expect you to believe me without cultural baggage, but I will die on this hill.
