Though watching movies and TV shows with subtitles can be very useful when learning Portuguese, it is also fun and educational to watch movies you are very familiar with that are dubbed into Portuguese. Children’s movies are most often dubbed, and Disney cartoons are an excellent way to pick up new words and phrases. Watch these clips and see if it’s easier to understand, knowing the English and the plot beforehand. You have to love Ariel with a Carioca accent!

The three movies in Portuguese are O Rei Leão, A Bela e a Fera, and A Pequena Sereia. Do you know which is which? What are some other popular cartoons in Portuguese?

The International Humor Festival began this week in Rio de Janeiro and will run until November 23rd. The festival features expositions at two venues, Centro Cultural Correios and Espaço Cultural Oi Futuro, as well as debates and theater productions. The festival will also honor several Brazilian cartoonists, including Luís Fernando Veríssimo, Laerte and Angeli (cartoon featured below).

The expositions will feature thousands of cartoons from Brazilian artists, as well as an international section from artists abroad. Entry is free at both venues, though the doors only open in the afternoon. They are recommended for adults and for teenagers aged 14 and older.
