The Brazilian version of the show used to split one original character in two: Sol became Dani and Maria; Guille was adapted into Guile and Samuca; Roña was made into Binho and Neco; and Corcho became Rafa, an orphan whose role was later replaced by Zeca.
Career debut and breakthrough roles of well known Brazilian professional actors and actresses, such as Fernanda Souza, Débora Falabella, Bruno Gagliasso and Sthefany Brito.
Silvio Santos wanted the show to be called "Pequeninas" (this being the literal translation to Brazilian Portuguese for the word "chiquititas"). He dropped this in favor of the original title and its higher potential to attract viewership.
As in the original version, "Chiquititas Brasil" also had musical presentations on stage. They ran in 1998, between seasons Two and Three, in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The young cast members, alongside star Flávia Monteiro were all featured. The group was supposed to be on tour in other states, but the agenda was canceled due to budgetary issues.
Produced under a partnership between SBT and Telefe, and filmed in the same studios and locations the original Argentine version was shot (Buenos Aires being used as São Paulo for the story).
