The characters of Monica and Friends are also the protagonists of which can be considered the first Brazilian animation series. After being introduced on television as advertising-boys in TV advertisements from the mid-1960s, complete stories began to be produced in 1976 starting with a Christmas TV special which aired on [[TV Globo|Rede Globo]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://vejasp.abril.com.br/coluna/memoria/o-natal-da-turma-da-monica|title=O Natal da Turma da Mônica|language=PT-BR|work=Veja|date=December 22, 2017|access-date=March 5, 2025}}</ref> With the success of the animations, Mauricio managed to get his characters to star in feature films for the cinema in 1982, starting with the film ''[[As Aventuras da Turma da Mônica]]'', which contained stories adapted from different comics and this format of compiling episodes (which later aired on TV) continued in the following decades, with the films being also distributed directly to video over the time.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/fsp/ilustrad/fq07129818.htm|title=Clássicos da Turma da Mônica|language=PT-BR|work=Folha de S.Paulo|date=December 7, 1998|access-date=March 5, 2025}}</ref> The only two films that managed to feature full original stories were ''[[A Princesa e o Robô]]'' from 1984 and ''[[Uma Aventura no Tempo]]'' from 2007.

In 1999, a series of animated shorts with the characters was produced for Globo's children's program ''[[Angel Mix]]'' during negotiations for a sketch featuring Mauricio de Sousa's characters on the channel.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/fsp/tvfolha/tv27069911.htm|title=Turma da Mônica estréia na Globo|language=PT-BR|work=Folha de S.Paulo|date=June 27, 1999|access-date=March 5, 2025}}</ref> A regular broadcast of the series on TV only occurred in 2004 after negotiations with the [[Cartoon Network (Latin America)|Cartoon Network]] that since this year began broadcasting new episodes exclusively on the channel, still remaining on the schedule together of sister channels [[Tooncast]] and [[Boomerang (Latin American TV channel)|Boomerang]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dgabc.com.br/Noticia/168487/turma-da-monica-estreia-neste-domingo-na-tv|title=Turma da Mônica estréia neste domingo na TV|language=PT-BR|work=Diario do Grande ABC|date=June 25, 2004|access-date=March 5, 2025}}</ref>
