'''[[Vídeo Brinquedo]]''' (also known as '''Toyland Video''' and translated as '''Toy Video''', and formerly known as '''Spot Films''') was a Brazilian animation studio, located in São Paulo; that produced direct-to-video animated films widely viewed as mockbusters of comparable films from [[Walt Disney Pictures]], [[Pixar Animation Studios]], [[DreamWorks Animation]], [[20th Century Studios]], and [[Blue Sky Studios]]. The company was founded in 1995 to distribute animation with the intention of distribution in its home market of Brazil, as well as to other global markets: North America. After the studio stopped selling movies in 2012, they moved to [[YouTube Originals|YouTube]] one year later, due to winding down operations thereafter, where they posted not only the movies and episodes they made in the past few years, but also new content made in flash animation, including a failed ''Peppa Pig'' rip-off titled ''Chapeuzinho Vermelho e sua Turma''. Recently, the channel name was changed to '''Crianças Inteligentes''' (lit. "'''Clever Kids'''").

Background

Spot Films was an American distributor based in Los Angeles. From 2004 to 2007, Vídeo Brinquedo collaborated with said company.

1st Logo (1989-1999)

Logo: On a black background, we start off with the sea with the sun rises up (which is dawn). Then the sky changes to the cloud background as the sphere zooms out as the words zoom out as well, "SPOT" and "FILMS." The comet star draws the border rectangle around "FILMS." The sphere changes to blue.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A synthesized new-age sounder with a somewhat somber ending or none.

Availability: Rare, you have to be lucky to find a copy of their releases. Only in Brazil, they are common.


2nd Logo (1999-2007?)

Logo: Basically a redone version of the 1989 logo. We see the sun rise up in the sky like before. The sky, now dark, is inside the sphere, moving as the same company name zooms out. The shooting star appears from the top of the screen, then draws the border around "FILMS", then flies away.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A synth fanfare, starting with a relaxing sounder when the sun rises, then four notes leading into a triumphant string finish.

Availability: See logo 1.
