Xuxa Abracadabra

Directed by Moacyr Góes, it stars Xuxa Meneghel, Márcio Garcia, Cláudia Raia, Brunno Abrahão, Maria Mariana Azevedo, Heloísa Périssé, Leandro Hassum, Lúcio Mauro Filho, and Sérgio Mamberti.

Xuxa Abracadabra received negative reviews from critics, but was considered an improvement in quality compared to other films involving Meneghel.

[4] One Saturday night, children's librarian Sofia (Xuxa Meneghel) is getting ready to go out with her best friend (Heloísa Périssé) when she gets a phone call from Matheus (Márcio Garcia), the widower of a cousin she was close to.

Matheus asks Sofia to babysit his children, Júlia (Maria Mariana Azevedo) and Lucas (Brunno Abrahão).

While in the Enchanted Forest, Sofia, Júlia, and Lucas meet fairy-tale characters such as Snow White (Talita Castro), her stepmother the Evil Queen (Cláudia Raia), and Prince Charming (Cláudio Heinrich).

They also meet Saci (Toni Garrido), Little Red Riding Hood (Debby Lagranha), and the Big Bad Wolf (Lucio Mauro Filho), among other fairy-tale characters.

[7] Góes says that when he accepted Trindade's invitation to direct the film, he started to study cinema intensely, watching productions with a variety of tones.

"[7] The main characters were cast, with Heloísa Périssé (Patricia), Brunno Abrahão (Lucas), Maria Mariana Azevedo (Júlia), Debby Lagranha (Little Red Riding Hood), Kayky Brito (Puss in Boots) and Leandro Hassum (Bluebeard / The Frog Prince) being brought onto the film.

[10][11][12] The premiere of the film occurred on December 12, 2003, at the Parque Mundo Xuxa, in the SP Market Shopping Center, in the South Zone of São Paulo.

[27] He also criticized the team responsible for makeup in Abracadabra, saying that "The beard of the pirate Bluebeard is more false than a note of R$13.50 reais, the monsters wear costumes that seem to have been rented, and worst of all, the color of the fake nose used by Claudia Raia when she becomes the Evil Queen is quite different from her skin".

There are a few amusing phrases from Claudia Raia, in the role of Snow White's Stepmother, which at least has a few moments of brilliance, the rest falls in the common grave.
