Motion2DAnimated videos in Portuguese
To make a Portuguese cartoon video, choose Portuguese and type your topic, and Motion2D writes and narrates it with Brazilian voices and Portuguese captions, so it sounds local to Brazil's huge YouTube audience.
Made for Brazil
Curiosity videos, kids stories, personal finance and history are strong Brazilian niches. Example topic: Por que o mar é salgado?
The voices are Brazilian Portuguese (Antonio and Francisca). Viewers in Portugal and Africa will understand them, though the accent is clearly Brazilian.
- Brazilian Portuguese voices
- Portuguese captions with accents (ã, ç, é)
- Shorts and long-form

A Portuguese version of your best videos can find a whole new audience. Each one is rewritten for Portuguese, not dubbed.
Example: a curiosity video for Brazil
Topic: Por que o Brasil fala português e não espanhol? Scenes: the Treaty of Tordesillas, ships, a map splitting South America, colonial towns. Five minutes uses 5 credits; a 45-second Short with the surprising answer uses 2. History and curiosity videos are strong Brazilian niches; see history animation.
Brazilian folklore to retell
Saci-Pererê, the one-legged trickster; Curupira, guardian of the forest with backwards feet; Iara, the river spirit; and Boitatá, the fire serpent. These traditional figures are free to retell in your own way, for children or for spooky stories.
Niches that do well in Portuguese
Brazilian viewers watch a lot of curiosity content (curiosidades), personal finance, history and children's stories. Many of the biggest English formats have few strong Portuguese versions yet, which leaves room for a channel that does them well in natural Brazilian Portuguese. Start with a format that works in English, rewrite it for Brazil rather than translating, and use local examples, such as reais rather than dollars.
