Cine Gibi 2 was directed by José Márcio Nicolosi and produced by Gisele Mota Souto and Itsuo Nakashima. It was executive-directed by Alice Keico Takeda and produced by Alice Cardozo de Almeida. The location and production company was Mauricio de Sousa Produções, owned by Mauricio de Sousa, creator of Monica and Friends and general supervisor of the film. The film's main song, “Vamos Todos ao Cinema” (Let's all go to the movies), was written by Marcio Araujo.[2] Cine Gibi 2 is a sequel to Cine Gibi: O Filme, and is the second film in the series of the same name.[1]

Cine Gibi 2 was not released in cinemas. With forty thousand DVD units put on sale and promoted by the Blockbuster chain of stores and pasta manufacturer Nissin, it was released on September 7th,[3] and distributed by Paramount Pictures.[4] As a gift, magnet cards featuring various Monica and Friends characters were included.[3] As an extra, the DVD consists of a trivia game with Jimmy Five about the episodes, mini-biographies of the characters, sign language,[4] and a vignette of Horácio 3D.[5] The stories from the film were republished in Cine Gibi 2 - A Revista, released in the same month by Editora Globo.[6] The release was praised by Marcus Ramone, from Universo HQ.[7] The film was also released on VHS.[5]

It was shown at the premiere of TV Pública [pt] on December 2, to showcase the cultural impact of Monica and Friends in the entertainment and education of children and adults in the country.”[8] Cine Gibi 2 was made available on YouTube by the official Monica and Friends channel on April 11, 2013.[2] It was included in the Looke Kids catalog in June 2016,[9] and in the Netflix catalog on May 9, 2021.[10] It is also available on iTunes.[11]

Reception

[edit]

Cine Gibi 2 received an average reception from critics. Lúcia Valentim Rodrigues, in Folha de S. Paulo, gave the film a rating of one star out of three, commenting that it wasn't as good as the first: “It pays no tribute to cinema and, lacking freshness, it seems more like an aftermath of what was left out of the first feature”. She also added “Regrettably, the funniest scenes are with the chicken Giselda.”[4] Rubens Ewald Filho [pt] told UOL Cinema that the film maintains the technical quality of animation of the first,[Notes 1] “cleaner, but also more simplistic”, and gave it a rating of two stars out of five.[1]

On December 5, 2008, the sequel to Cine Gibi 2, Cine Gibi 3, was released.[13]
