'''''Presente de Natal''''' (lit. '''Christmas Gift''') is a 1971 Brazilian animated film directed and produced by Álvaro Henrique Gonçalves. It is the second animated feature film and the first in color in the country's history. In the movie, João and Miriam are the children of a poor manual worker, who has no way to present them with sophisticated items. Instead, the brothers win a trip to an amusement park. At night, when they are already asleep, Santa Claus appears and invites them on a trip, with the purpose of knowing all of Brazil, in the company of Saci Pererê. After the excursion, the boys wake up and tell their parents about it.
