Maga (for owner Marcelo Gastaldi, legally Maga Produções e Empreendimentos Artísticos LTDA) was a Brazilian independent dubbing worker cooperative. It was a group of actors who formed a cooperative company independent of other major Brazilian studios, being responsible for several of the Portuguese-language dubs broadcast by their client, the SBT network. The company is very famous in Brazil for its dub of the Mexican series El Chavo and El Chapulín Colorado, which are considered two of the most successful Brazilian dubs in history, to the point of being part of Brazilian popular culture.
Between 1980 and 1990, they worked in the TVS/SBT studios in São Paulo, because, despite being the headquarters of the channel, its main studios were in Rio de Janeiro. In 1990, Silvio Santos, owner of the network, moved his operations to the São Paulo studios, so the dubbing work stopped. The team would end up moving to the São Paulo studio Marshmallow, owned by the company's music producer, Mário Lúcio de Freitas, where they worked until 1995.
Marcelo Gastaldi passed away in 1995, thus legally ending the cooperative company.
