Julie e os Fantasmas (English title: Julie and the Phantoms) is a Brazilian musical comedy-drama television series produced by Rede Bandeirantes in partnership with Mixer and co-producer Nickelodeon Brazil.[1] [2] The show aired on Rede Bandeirantes from 17 October 2011 to 4 May 2012.[3] It also aired on Nickelodeon from 20 October 2011 to 29 April 2012, with the season divided into two distinct phases: the first one, shown in 2011, and the second shown the following year.
The series stars Mariana Lessa as Julie, a teenage girl who meets three ghosts: Daniel, Felix, and Martim (played by Bruno Sigrist, Fabio Rabello, and Marcelo Ferrari, respectively). Julie subsequently forms a band with the ghosts and starts to perform regularly in her city.
The opening theme of the series, "Julie", is performed by Lu Andrade. The song was included on a CD released on 30 April 2012 by Midas Music, a label owned by Rick Bonadio, who was in charge of the musical production. During its Band broadcast, the series achieved an audience of approximately three points, an index considered good by network standards, and was well-received by critics.
The show received an APCA Trophy in the category Best Children's Program and was nominated for the Kids' Choice Awards (Argentine edition), My Nick Awards, and the International Emmy Kids Awards. In addition to being shown in its home country, the series was shown across Latin America through the Nickelodeon affiliates, and in Italy on the Super! Channel.
The show focuses on Julie (Mariana Lessa), a 15-year-old girl, and three ghosts: Daniel, Felix and Martim. Julie frees the musical ghosts who were trapped in a vinyl record. Shortly thereafter, Julie's life changes completely: she forms a band with the ghosts and starts performing regularly in her city. The friendly ghosts help her deal with daily problems, particularly her passion for music and her love for Nicolas.
