The debut of TV Globinho TV Globinho debuted on July 3, 2000 as a children's track on Globo, according to Memória Globo.

Watch the program's premiere: Bambuluá: Jornal Globinho (2000) ? Gained more space With high audience ratings, TV Globinho was no longer part of a band and now had its own space on Globo's schedule. It was shown on Monday to Saturday mornings. ? Presenters that marked generations Geovanna Tominaga, Marina Ruy Barbosa and Letícia Colin presented TV Globinho Reproduction The dynamics of the presentation changed over the 15 years that TV Globinho was on air. There were periods with duo presenters, others with a single name in charge and even phases in which each day of the week had a different presenter. Many of them helped to consolidate the program's identity and marked Globo's mornings, such as Angélica, Geovanna Tominaga, Letícia Colin, Marina Ruy Barbosa, Ícaro Silva and Sthefany Brito. ? Unforgettable drawings Dragon Ball Z Reproduction TV Globinho helped popularize some of the most striking animations of the 2000s in Brazil. Among the titles that remained in the memory of a generation are "Dragon Ball Z", "Three Too Many Spies!", "Dragon's Cave", "SpongeBob" and "Pokémon", frequently remembered by fans whenever the subject is the return of the program. ?Christmas Special In 2008, TV Globinho won a special Christmas edition, shown exceptionally at night. Presented by Geovanna Tominaga, the program featured themed animations such as “It Happened Again at Mickey's Christmas”, “The Christmas Simpsons” and “The Penguins of Madagascar on a Christmas Mission”. The special was shown again in the following years, always with a different selection of Christmas cartoons ?Controversy One of the most curious episodes linked to TV Globinho involves the so-called Mandela effect. For years, the version has spread on social media that Globo's Plantão interrupted the showing of Dragon Ball Z to cover the attacks of September 11, 2001. The story became so popular that many swear they remember the scene. However, an investigation by g1 with support from the TV Globo collection showed that this did not happen. ?? Mandela Effect is a phenomenon in which a large group of people share a false memory about an event. That year, the children's program was still within “Bambuluá”. When the first journalistic entry was aired, the program showed “The Adventures of Mickey and Donald”. After further interruptions in coverage of the attacks, children's programming did not return to the air, and Dragon Ball Z was not even shown that day.
