Chaves (Spanish: El Chavo del Ocho, English: The Boy from No. 8) is the Brazilian dub of El Chavo del Ocho. The dub was made first in the Brazilian dubbing studio Maga (the dubbing studio of the late Brazilian voice actor, Marcelo Gastaldi), later in Marshmallow (where Maga stayed inside the Marshmallow studio), and later studios such as Studio Gabia, Riosound and Dubrasil and Som de Vera Cruz and UniDub, on São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. It was previously aired on SBT, Cartoon Network, Boomerang, TBS, Multishow and TLN Network and was released on DVD with the Studio Gabia dub. The dub no longer airs in Brazil, due of the series' copyright deadlocks between Televisa and Grupo Chespirito in 2020.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Masterful voice acting, especially in the Maga dubbing. With well-scaled voices from the late Marcelo Gastaldi, Tatá Guarnieri and Daniel Muller as Chavo, Nelson Machado as Quico, Cecília Lemes as Chilindrina, Marta Volpiani as Doña Florinda, Carlos Seidl as Don Ramón, the late Osmiro Campos and Mauro Ramos as Profesor Jirafales.
 * 2) The Brazilian theme song, "Lá Vem o Chaves" ("Here Comes Chaves") is very formidable and is also nostalgic.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The Riosound and Dubrasil dub wasn't not very well received by fans, mainly due for changing Nelson Machado and Carlos Seidl with Vinicius Sousa and Marco Moreira as Quico and Don Ramón, who were unable to make an agreement with SBT and it only lasted only 14 dubbed episodes (or redubbed, in the case of some episodes).
 * 2) *Speaking of Vinicius Sousa and Marco Moreira as Quico and Don Ramón, they didn't sound very well voicing the characters, although Marco Moreira's voice sounds a bit like Carlos Seidl's voice.
 * 3) There's some dubbing gaffes, which a few of them were caused by poor translation.
