PERFORMER | Marcos Miranda |
DEBUT | 1972 |
Funga-Funga is a full-bodied red elephant who appeared on the 1972 run of Vila Sésamo, Brazil's co-production of Sesame Street.
Like the other Brazilian puppets, the character was not made by the Muppet Workshop but by stage designer and costumer Naum Alves de Souza.
Notes[]
- In later dubbed scenes from Sesame Street, as on home video and the 2007 Vila Sésamo revival, Mr. Snuffleupagus is renamed Funga-Funga.
