A Colméia (As Aventuras de Gui & Estopa)

A Colméia (lit. The Hive) is the 14th episode of the third season of As Aventuras de Gui & Estopa, originally premiered in 2011. The episode focuses on Gui and Estopa inside a giant hive (which is an attraction in an amusement park) and getting to know Zuzu from Zuzubaland.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Zuzu has a terrible voice in this episode, very inferior than her original voice in Zuzubaland (both the original puppet series and the 2018 reboot), sounding like a nasal voice (which is even more unbearable when singing). Curiously her voice was made by Mariana Caltabiano in this episode.
 * 2) Zuzu is also portrayed in a very bad way in this episode, being irritating to Gui and Estopa to the point that they try to avoid her.
 * 3) While the dog-themed puns are good for this episode, the bee-themed puns looked so painful.
 * 4) Although it's cool to see a crossover with Zuzubaland, Zuzu feels out of place in this episode, mainly because the other bees that appear in the hive looks very different from her, besides not having much explanation of how she got there.
 * 5) A meh way to bring Zuzu back.
 * 6) The crossover also doesn't make much sense for the release year, since the original Zuzubaland puppet show had already been canceled and forgotten more than a decade ago (not even having episodes available on the internet at that time) and the animated reboot would only debut in 2018. The only ones who could get to know Zuzu and Zuzubaland in this period would be just a few Brazilian children who access the Iguinho website.
 * 7) The jokes in this episode are very forced, as for example Gui and Estopa becoming afraid of Zuzu after hearing her sing badly.
 * 8) The ending was very random and rushed, Gui and Estopa flee from Zuzu flying through bee wings that Estopa received as a gift from the drones.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Gui and Estopa are at least likable in this episode.
 * 2) There is an educational moment with Zuzu explaining to Gui and Estopa how bees make honey.
