The Under-Undergrounds (Portuguese: Os Under-Undergrounds) is a Brazilian animated musical comedy children animated television created by Hugo Oda for Nickelodeon and premiered in May 9th, 2016. The second season debuted in February 6th, 2021.

Plot[]

The story tells the story of Heitor, a teen guitarist who is kicked out of his band because they think he is not cool enough. On his way home, upset about the happening, he falls in a hole and ends up in an underground world, inhabited by mutant creatures. Although it is in this weird place that he is going to find everything he was looking for: true friends and a rock'n'roll band that doesn't care about stereotypes, only the passion for music. The Under-Undergrounds, together, will have lots of fun adventures trying to help Hector find his way back home. Tolerance, diversity, companionship and self-knowledge are values that our "Rock Star hero" will learn in order to be respected and loved by the "Undergrounders".

He later joined the band Under-Undergrounds.
