In this weird fantasy movie, Xuxa’s dog Xuxo (a puppet) is kidnapped by Baixo Astral (“Bad Mood”), who wants to turn everyone gloomy, and especially Xuxa. She then goes on a quest to rescue her dog, making friends (often puppets) and facing strange obstacles along the way, and finding time for song as well. Perhaps of greatest appeal to children.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 455 for 2021.
