Oswaldo is an animated television series created by Pedro Eboli for Cartoon Network. The series is co-produced by Birdo Studio and Symbiosys Entertainment.[1] It first premiered on Cartoon Network in Brazil on October 11, 2017[2] and on TV Cultura on October 29, 2017.[3]
The series is produced by Birdo Studio, which is notoriously recognized as one of the main Brazilian animation studios and gained worldwide fame by creating and developing the mascots of the 2016 2016 Summer Olympics and Summer Paralympics. The studio also developed the short films involving the two mascots that were shown on Cartoon Network Brazil during the period prior to the games.
The show was a runner-up for an idea pitching project in Brazil, back in 2014,[4] with 'Cartoon.Job' being the overall winner, however it was eventually picked up for a full series.
On September 23, 2017, it was announced that the series had its international distribution rights secured by Kid Glove.[5] On February 7, 2018, it was announced the show had been renewed for a 39-episode second season starting June 3, 2019.[6]
Plot[]
Oswaldo shows the daily life of a 13-year old penguin who is in the 6th grade. Together with his friends Tobias and Leia, he faces the challenge of surviving school. With agile humor and a lot of bites from Brazilian pop culture, the series follows the title character and his immense ability to transform the simplest situations in life into epic journeys. Oswaldo's oddities are part of the daily life of his family and friends who understand that it is our eccentricities that make each of us special.
