Recreio magazine was a monthly (previously weekly) journal of Editora Caras, previously published by Editora Abril, founded by Victor Civita (1907-1990). Recreio aims to entertain and educate children and pre-teens, the audience of the publication, bringing curiosities, comics, tests, jokes, etc. It had its first editions published in May of 1969 that were continuous until the year of 1981m 2000 returned to the pews with another philosophy and new authors and experiences. April closed its doors in 2014, when the publisher bought the magazine, in March 2018 it was discontinued stopping in the 925 edition, and at that time the magazine was not going to be weekly but rather monthly on a new guideline. Recreio Online was the name of the official site of Recreio magazine. The site featured several sections of the magazine such as collections of toys sold, games, videos, cartoons, jokes, stories and activities. For some time the magazine even animated the episodes of its collections in partnership with Kazullo Studio for its official website. In recent years, the site showed only the photo of the current issue, and all other pages, such as jokes and games, have been withdrawn. Due to these changes a lot of content related to the site has been lost. Among the lost animations are the animated adaptation of Circomix with only a fragment found in Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_QLYUYbTQU In addition though the adaptations of "MegaFeras" and Insectron have been found the final episodes are missing and it is unknown if they were ever produced. An undetermined number of animated Animatiras produced by the cartoonist Jean Galvão are missing.
