Facts[]

  • The name translation for Big Bird is "Passarão". In Brinca Comigo, the second dubbed version of the series, Big Bird is called Poupas, the resident bird from Portugal.[1]
  • A confusion struck between character translations for Elmo and Telly. Instead of Elmo's original name, Simão, he is renamed to Telmo, Telly's Portuguese name. Telly's name was left unmodified.[2] This was carried on to Rua Sésamo ao Vivo for unknown reasons.[3] This was reverted in the second dub.
  • Abre-te Sésamo was the name of the first European-Portuguese dub package from the 1970s.
