Castelo Rá-Tim-Bum is a 2000 Brazilian film based on the Castelo Rá-Tim-Bum.[1] The film was redirected by Cao Hamburger. Laurel Graeber of The New York Times said that the film "charmingly captures the life of a Latin-style Addams Family."[2]
In the film 300-year old Nino is a person who looks like he is eight or nine years old. Described by Graeber as a "Brazilian counterpart" to Harry Potter, Nino tries to write a book of spells. His aunt and uncle criticize his apprenticeship and Nino wants to play with ordinary children. Losangela, a relative, begins conspiring with real estate developers who hope to tear down Nino's family's mansion.[2]
