Chespirito (Brazilian Portuguese, Amazonas Filmes)

It was a special dub, produced exclusively for home video, by Televisa Home Entertainment, and distributed by Amazonas Filmes in Brazil. 8 volumes were published on DVD, both of this series and of Chaves and Chapolin.

Dubbing history
In 2005, a company called Amazonas Filmes was in charge of launching Chaves' DVDs in Brazil. However, the distributor Televisa did not allow the dubbing of the classic version by Maga Studios to be maintained, and requested a redub, which was carried out in Gábia. Along with this program, the series Chespirito would also be distributed, but it was decided to also do a redub, replacing the Gota Mágica dub. This dubbing received negative criticism, since it was considered nonsense, since people were used to classic dubbing.

At the time, Cassiano Ricardo's performance was highly criticized in the Gota Mágica dub, so they decided to replace him with Tatá Guarnieri. The latter, despite being a well-known dubbing actor, could not find a definitive voice for Chespirito's characters that would maintain what Marcelo Gastaldi had done in the past. Much of the Chaves classic cast was kept (with the exception of Older Cazarré and Silton Cardoso, who were replaced by Gustavo Berriel and Alexandre Marconato, something that had already happened in the dubbing of BKS/Parisi and Gota Mágica dubs), but the weight of the age on all the original voice actors also made the dub certainly suffer changes.

Mário Vilela, the actor who frequently played the characters of Édgar Vivar, was also called, and had already started recording his dialogues, but unfortunately he passed away after the recordings of volume 1, and his work would not be used. He ended up being replaced by Faduli Costa and Gilberto Baroli; and by Gustavo Berriel in the role of Nhonho, which the public did not like at all. All this influenced the sales of the DVDs, which made it less than expected. Fans still prefer to keep recorded episodes that were shown on SBT, than to have to watch a different play than they have been used to seeing for decades.
