Mundo Estranho (literally "Strange World" in Portuguese), first issued November 2001, was a monthly diversities and fun facts magazine, very popular among Brazilian teenagers and one of the country's most popular magazine of its type.
With Mundo Estranho's popularity rising up, the Superinteressante's chief-editors decided to separate a special team exclusively for it, and publish it as an independent magazine.
With a separate team and very popular for its use of informal language and good relationship with the readers, instead of exclusively scientifically-correct articles, Mundo Estranho now featured curiosities about music, video games and movies, and answers reader questions.
[1][2] In October 2022, Editora Abril, in partnership with Disney, launched a special edition of the magazine to promote the animated film Strange World.
This limited edition brought information about the characters, production, cast, and plot of the movie and was distributed only in some theaters in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
