Chiquititas (literally translated as "Little Girls", known in English as Tiny Angels) is a children's musical Argentine soap opera, created and produced by Cris Morena.[1][2] It starred Morena's daughter Romina Yan[3][4] and Agustina Cherri.
The soap opera focuses on a group of orphans living in a manor known as Rincón de Luz. Their lives are gradually touched and changed by Belén, a tender-hearted, dedicated young woman. The story explores their experiences and coming-of-age dramas such as discovering first love, deceptions, sadness, loneliness, and friendship, as they form a family together. In the fifth season the show was rebooted with a new setting, new characters, and a new story.[5] The soap opera is complemented with musical themes and videos.
Chiquititas spawned three spin-offs, Cebollitas, Rincón de Luz, which aired in 2003 on Canal 9, and a 2006 production, Chiquititas Sin Fin, which aired on Telefe.[6] Sin Fin, created to celebrate the series' 11th anniversary, later had versions in Portugal and Romania. A game based on Sin Fin was meant to be released for PS2 and Wii in 2009 but was cancelled.
Chiquititas has been aired in 25 countries[6] and adapted for Brazilian and Mexican audiences.[7] The series originally ran between 1995 and 2001, the year the show's feature film Chiquititas: Rincón de Luz was released.[8]
