Franjinha builds a time machine, but to make it work, he needs to bring together the four elements of nature: water, fire, earth and air. Franjinha's laboratory is invaded by Cebolinha and Cascão, who are running away from Mônica, followed by Magali. In the confusion, Sansão is thrown towards the boys and hits the time machine. The impact makes the four elements go to different times, each one in the same place in Brazil, the Limoeiro neighborhood - where the girls and boys live. The accident causes a disaster - time starts to slow down on Earth. To reverse this situation, the four need to embark on different times and rescue the elements.

I'm super biased because I really love Turma da Mônica, it has a super nostalgic aura, as if it came straight out of the comics I read in the 90s and bought at newsstands... It was interesting to use several characters that already existed in the gang in various timeless periods, a delightful and captivating experience... So cute and exciting, the bunny part, and full of adventures and a super cute and necessary inclusion at the end...

Franjinha is researching a time machine by the umpteenth time. Meanwhile Cebolinha plots another infallible plan against Mônica and explains to Cascão how to proceed. The plan does not work as schemed and Mônica and Magali chase the boys that hide in Franjinha's laboratory.

Meanwhile Franjinha is in a crucial part of his experiment with the fusion of the four elements to get a fifth. When Mônica throws her little rabbit Sansão on Cebolinha and Cascão, she misses her target and reaches the time machine spreading the four elements through time.

Franjinha explains that if they do not recover the four elements very soon, it will create a time paradox and time on Earth will get frozen. Due to the short time, they should split in their quest. Now Mônica and Bidu go to the prehistory to recover the Fire; Cebolinha goes to the Thirtieth Century to recover the Air; Cascão goes to the Seventeenth Century to recover the Water in a forest; and Magali goes to a few years in the past to recover the Earth from a baby Mônica.

"Turma da Mônica em Uma Aventura no Tempo" is a very, but very funny adventure of the Mônica's Gang. I have just seen this witty animation three times and I have laughed a lot with the entertaining story that has cameo of Horácio, Piteco and Thuga in Lem; Chico Bento; and Astronauta in the future. I also loved the picture of Santos Dumont in Franjinha's laboratory. In the end, this animation is a must-see for adults and children. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "Turma da Mônica em Uma Aventura no Tempo" ("Monica's Gang in an Adventure in Time")
