Status: Partially Found

Recreio Magazine was a monthly (previously weekly) journal of Editora Caras, previously published by Editora Abril, founded by Victor Civita (1907-1990). Recreio aimed to entertain and educate children and pre-teens, bringing curiosities, comics, tests, jokes, etc.

History

It had its first editions published in May of 1969 that were continuous until the year of 1981. 2000 returned to the pews with another philosophy and new authors and experiences. The magazine closed its doors in 2014 when the publisher bought the magazine, and in March 2018 it was discontinued stopping at the 925th 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 the 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years, the site showed only the photo of the current issue, and all other pages, such as jokes and games, have been withdrawn.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 on YouTube.


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 and games are missing. Some can be checked by site versions saved in the web archive but you cannot play games. In addition to online content there is also lost printed content. Many old editions can only be found in sebos or on sites like eBay, but some not so.
