Hi-5 Fiesta was a Latin America children's television program. It's a fourth adaptation of Hi-5 series, whose original version (Australian) was created by Helena Harris and Posie Graeme-Evans. It's the second version doesn't have the English language, but in Spanish. This is produced by Telefe and the Nuba Producciones in a co-production between Argentina and Mexico, which is displayed from December 21, 2014. This version is directed by Adriano Schmid and Michela Giorelli and produced two seasons between 2014 and 2016 with a total of 50 episodes in a format similar to Hi-5 House (but not including The Chatterbox segment).

Format[]

The program remains similar to the format of the original, providing children with education through music, fun and movement. Hi-5 Fiesta caters to a wide range of children's learning styles, displayed through a classic segments within the program. Each show is built around a simple theme like colours, music, animals, or numbers.

This version is a cut remake based on Hi-5 Australian's Series 8, 9 and 10. To try to differentiate from the Original Series, the scripts and songs (although re-arranged and changing choreography) were edited in a short time.

Trivia[]

  • At the opening, the real characters are displayed in the form of mirror instead of the form window as in other versions. The Hi-5 Philippines cast also used this "style".
  • Instead of "And together, we're Hi-5!", the slogan said by original members and also other versions, it was changed to "...and the Hi-5 Party begins!" or "...and today we will make an incredible Hi-5 Party!".
  • Unlike most other versions, the full name of the members don't appear individually during the reprise the song of the week (made of only the credits), just in Series 2, it appears the nicknames of the characters.
  • This version doesn't have an end in the same way as the other versions of the series (in this version, the episode is closed with the second musical score to which the final credits have been moved).
  • In this version, the Chatterbox puppet was renamed Charlafina (the Spanish version). In the first season, she was blonde and her hair was composed of auburn braids and was widely criticized on social networks. In Season 2, Chats was recreated to look more like the original version.
  • Mile Martines overdubs her voice for the Portuguese dub as she is fluent in both Portuguese (her native language) and Spanish.
  • There are similarities in costumes between this and Hi-5 Australia/House especially in the "Songs Of The Week":
  • The songs "Pretending Day", "Happy Today", "Stop And Go" and "Party Street" were included in the The Hi-5 Circus Stageshow in 2007 with the Australian cast.
  • The songs "Abracadabra" and "Stop And Go" were included in the Hi-5 Fairytale Tour in 2016 and the Hi-5 Series 17 in 2017. "Party Street" was also added in the latter.
