Gloob (pronounced: Glubi) is a Brazilian pay-TV channel that was launched on June 15, 2012, aimed at children. It belongs to Globo, a Grupo Globo company.

This page will focus about the first five years of the channel, when it premiered in 2012 until 2017 and since 2023, when the channel improved.

Why It's Our World

  1. Aired or airs good cartoons and live-action series (mainly from Europe) such as the first two seasons of Odd Squad, LoliRock, Angry Birds Toons, Piggy Tales, FloopaLoo, Where Are You?, Spike Team and of course the biggest hit series on the channel Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir.
  2. They also aired classic cartoons (despite airing them at dawn) like Dungeons and Dragons (which also aired on TV Globinho at that time), the 1960s version of Popeye, the 1981 The Smurfs cartoon, She-Ra: Princess of Power and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
  3. Their original programming is very good, with shows like the first six seasons of Detetives do Prédio Azul, Tem Criança na Cozinha, Gaby Estrella, Buuu! Um Chamado Para a Aventura and others.
  4. The channel's blocks Cine Gloob (which airs movies, either live-action or animated like Globo's Sessão da Tarde) and Clipes Gloob (which aired songs of the channel's shows) are cool.
  5. It also aired the 2001 version of Sítio do Pica-Pau Amarelo along with Futura, Viva (the former two are also from Globo) and later TV Cultura, although unfortunately the four channels never fully aired the 2001 version, making the 2001 version of Sítio never being rerun fully on TV after its ending in 2007.
  6. The launch of the channel on June 15, 2012 was touchful and brilliant with a great manifest, then the channel's jingle "É nosso mundo" ("It's our world") and a good introduction of the channel's initial programming, with DPA starting the channel.
  7. Good voice-over made by Brazilian voice actor Clécio Souto, who voiced Chris Evans as Captain America in the MCU and Chicken from Cow and Chicken.
  8. Great branding used in 2012-2017, with creative bumpers and idents with crossovers between the shows and cartoons aired in the channel made by Seagulls Fly and the aforementioned jingle with the channel's slogan name, "É nosso mundo" ("It's our world") is catchy. The 2017-2022 rebrand is good too.
  9. Unlike nowadays with the channel oversaturating Miraculous Ladybug, DPA and Alvin and the Chipmunks (2015), Gloob had a good variety in their programming, that weren't filled by a bunch of repetitive reruns of the aforementioned series.

Bad Qualities

  1. The channel started to go downhill since 2018, for not only oversaturating Miraculous Ladybug, DPA and Alvin and the Chipmunks (2015) in their programming, but also removing non-Ladybug, DPA and Alvin series, making a poor replacement of Clipes Gloob, Playlist Gloob and restricting Cine Gloob to weekends and at the dawn only, making the channel lose variety in their programming.
    • Thankfully, the channel redeemed itself in 2023.
    • The current slogan "Juntaê" used since 2018, doesn't look so good unlike the previous slogan "É nosso mundo" ("It's our world"), and the plasticine mascot of the current Juntaê slogan is unnecessary.
  2. Aired or airs bad or average shows like the current seasons of Detetives do Prédio Azul (that become the biggest cash cow of Gloob since it returned), the third and final season of Odd Squad, "The third season onwards of Miraculous Ladybug", Invisible Network of Kids (I.N.K), The DaVincibles, The Day My Butt Went Psycho!, Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, Fish 'n Chips, Osmar the First Slice of the Loaf, Newbie and the Disasternauts, Fleabag Monkeyface, Alvin and the Chipmunks (2015) and others.
  3. The channel refused to air anime because, according to them, they are violent.[1] Fortunately, this was reversed 12 years later in 2024 with the airing of the Sun and Moon seasons of the Pokémon anime and the Studio Ghibli films. Another reason would be due to the decline in the airing of anime on Brazilian TV in the 2010s, mainly due to the end of Animax in Brazil and Latin America, which was destroyed by live-actions and the attempt to westernize the channel that is for airing anime.
