Season 1

Alegrijes y Rebujos (2003), Season 1 is a Mexican children's telenovela you can watch online on iFILM — a run of 145 episodes. A group of kids from poor, troubled homes wanders into an old mansion the whole neighborhood swears is haunted.

Behind the locked doors there's no ghost but a kindly wizard everyone had long believed dead. Still the master of the house, he helps the children find what they are good at — some sing, some dance — and across the adventures the season keeps circling one idea: friendship and family hold tighter than any spell. Miguel Martínez and María Chacón lead the young cast.

The child actors were pulled from the reality show Código F.A.M.A., and its winner, Martínez, landed the starring part. Songs, dancing and a long, 145-episode arc made it a daytime favorite in the early 2000s. Watch Alegrijes y Rebujos Season 1 online on iFILM.
