Anabel is a Brazilian animated television series created by Lancast Mota and produced by Sergio Martinelli.

Set in the 1930s, the show revolves on a girl named Anabel, who lives with her unnamed parents in the city of Porto Alegre.

Anabel also travels to fantastical and supernatural adventures from literary novels, encountering monsters and creatures.

He picked the 1930s as the time setting of the series due to its distinctive popular culture field placed apart from electronic-driven media of the present day, which includes television and video games.

Mota and his team wanted the show to take advantage of creative elements not widely utilized in other animated works, including but not limited to strong literary themes and a lack of violence.
