Castelo Rá-Tim-Bum is a Brazilian children's television series, broadcast by TV Cultura during the 1990s. The show centers around Nino, a 300-year-old boy living in an ancient castle surrounded by the buildings of a modern city, owned by millennia-old sorcerers Victor and Morgana, Nino's uncle and aunt, respectively. Never leaving home, Nino interacts with friends Pedro, Biba, and Zequinha, regular visitors to the castle, supported by a larger group of recurrent characters that includes, among others, a friendly, shy alien and a TV newscaster dressed in pink fur. The castle is home to many mascots, most of them represented by hand puppets, and stores a number of interactive magical artifacts. Those, along with the distinct personality given to each character and mascot, enable plots filled with scientific and historical references in an easy to grasp and enjoyable way.
