Carrossel is a Brazilian children's telenovela created by Íris Abravanel as a Brazilian remake of the Mexican telenovela Carrusel — itself inspired by the Argentinean telenovela Jacinta Pichimahuida, la Maestra que no se Olvida, written by Abel Santa Cruz. Originally broadcast on SBT from 21 May 2012 to 26 July 2013, it was particularly successful with children and led to several spin-offs including a cartoon series and television sitcom.
