Zuzubalândia (As Aventuras de Gui & Estopa)

Zuzubalândia (Zuzubaland) is the 6th episode of the fourth season of As Aventuras de Gui & Estopa, originally premiered in 2016. The episode focuses on Gui visiting the kingdom of Zuzubalândia (through a dream) along with Estopa for inspiration for his birthday party theme.

Why This Suck

 * 1) This episode has the same problem as the episode A Colméia, since the episode shows a crossover with Zuzubalândia (another show created by Mariana Caltabiano), however the original 1998 puppet show had been canceled and forgotten in the late 90s and the animated reboot would only debut two years later in 2018.
 * 2) *By the way, this episode feels like it was created just to promote the Zuzubalândia reboot.
 * 3) *The episode made even less sense in the Spanish dub since Zuzubalândia had never aired there at all until the reboot. Gui doesn't even call Brigadeiro by his name in the dub (the reboot translated his name to Trufa), referring to him just as "a character from Zuzubaland".
 * 4) Again just like the episode "A Colméia", Zuzu's voice is really terrible and unbearable, since she was voiced again by Mariana Caltabiano.
 * 5) *Brigadeiro's voice is also terrible and even worse than his voice in the Zuzubalândia (Zuzubaland) reboot.
 * 6) The script for the episode is very weak, Gui decides that his birthday party will be themed with Zuzubalândia and then dreams that he and Estopa are in Zuzubalândia having fun with the characters.
 * 7) The animation is noticeably more limited and stiff than Zuzubalândia's animation, as this episode (as well as the entire Gui & Estopa series) are animated by Mariana Caltabiano's studio rather than SuperToons which is the animation studio responsible for the Zuzubalândia reboot.
 * 8) There are a lot of fat-phobic jokes (by courtesy of Estopa) related to food and eating.
 * 9) *Btw, in one scene Estopa appears drinking chocolate from the chocolate river, which is completely wrong since he is a dog and chocolate can kill dogs.
 * 10) Aside from Zuzu and Brigadeiro, no other Zuzubalândia characters appear in the episode, with the exception of a quick appearance of the witch Anoréxica who only appears for a few seconds being hit by a pie in the face by Gui.
 * 11) The episode also returns to making jokes about Zuzu being a bad singer, which just like the other episode in which Zuzu appears it is more annoying than funny.
 * 12) Misleading title card: Estopa appears with sneakers in his hands (just like in the Seasons 1-3), but in the episode he has his hands bare.
 * 13) Plotholes: the episode treats Zuzubalândia as if it were a metafictional series in the universe of Gui & Estopa (even with the appearance of Zuzu in a previous episode) so much so that Gui visits the kingdom through a dream in this episode, showing that Zuzubalândia is not real. But at the end of the episode Zuzu and Brigadeiro inexplicably appears on Gui's birthday, as if what happened in Gui's dream was real.
 * 14) Awful ending: Zuzu inexplicably appears on Gui's birthday and starts singing Happy Birthday to you (in English) to Gui. Her horrible singing voice causes the cake and candy (which inexplicably have life) from Gui's party to start running away which makes Gui run after the cake and candy to bring them back.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) In one scene Gui reminds Zuzu's previous appearance in the episode A Colméia, showing a certain continuity in the show.
