Chico Bento e a Goiabeira Maraviósa

Family film based on comic
Year: 2024
Year in film: 1960s? 
Country: Brazil
Who in bibs: boy ~9 ?
Available on DVD: not yet    
I own: no
Bib occurrence: medium+ ? 
Rating: 5/10 ?    
Rating: *****
Comment: At least a young boy in tight faded bibs and straw hat. Currently unknown actor (not the main character, probably Guilherme Tavares *2013 as José ("Zé de Roca)). 2 trailers found on Laurent's playlist (folder Bande Annoncée). Cinematic release on 9. Jan 2025. So needs to be rechecked when available. Not barefooted as in the Comics. Comic first released in 1961. Rural setting. Character wore black and blue working clothes in the comic.

Same director and universe as in Turma da Mônica: Lições (girl rating 3), I also have Turma da Mônica: A Série (teen boy and teen girl rating 4).

For now rating 4-5. Somehow reminds me of Tom Sawyer/Huck Finn with the straw hats and fishing pole. Title would translate Chico Bento and the Wonderful Guava Tree.
