==History==
Ronaldo began his career animating Cueio, whose original series was discontinued in 2015. A while later, Ronaldo created Turma do Cueio, which was based on the old series, but with the animation and characters redone. With great attention from the public, the youtuber has 15 million subscribers on the Youtube platform.
It later received greater public prominence due to the project that Ronaldo and 8 other YouTubers from Portugal, Wuant (Paulo Borges), SirKazzio (Anthony Sousa), D4rkFrame (António Ramos), Nuno Moura, Pi (Miguel Monteiro), VenomExtreme (Eduardo Faria), Windoh (Diogo Silva), and Malacueca/Dant (Dante), moved in together in a mansion that was called "Casa dos YouTubers", and lasted just under a year, from April 2017 to March 2018
Ronado spent most of his life in Portugal, though he was born in Gramado, Brazil.
On November 19, 2021, Ronaldo participates in the TV show Passa ou Repassa, Celso Portiolli's presentation program.
Currently, the influencer has more than 3.5 billion, which earned him praise from cartoonist Mauricio de Sousa.
On July 5, 2021, Ronaldo announced his first film, Acampamento Intergalactico, which will be distributed by the company Synapse Distribution and will have its recordings in Brotas, São Paulo.
==Series==
===Cueio===
A webseries about little quadrupedal animals that have the ability to transform into antropomorphic fighting animals. The protagonist of the series is Cueio, a rude, cold, and serious rabbit who is later revealed to have amnesia and shares the spotlight with his friend Vaco (a sensitive bull), and a fat human with a childlike mentality referred only as Primo (Cousin) by Vaco. The earlier episodes are focused on comedy, however over time the series developed a more serious atmosphere with continuity. It is considered the most popular series created by Ronaldo and his first work of great recognition having debuted in 2013. Despite its success Ronaldo discontinued the series in 2015 as he found it too tiring and torturous to work on it to satisfy his audience.
However on June 16, 2019, a CGI reboot called Turma do Cueio was released with its own YouTube channel. Unlike the previous series, the new series chose to focus on a more childish audience with cute and colorful visuals and no dialogue, in addition to the characters having their personalities changed focusing only in slapstick comedy. This reboot had a mixed reception, being disliked by most of the old audience due to the excessive changes.
===Desnecessauro===
Ronaldo's second creation. A short lived comedy series with limited animation created in 2014 about the relationship between two dinosaurs, Coitadossauro and his annoying friend Desnecessauro, whose name is a pun with Desnecessário (Unnecessary in Portuguese). Like Cueio the series was discontinued in 2015, however, new episodes premiered in 2022 on the official channel of Desnecessauro created in 2020.
The animation derived a smartphone game in 2017 called "Corre Desnecessauro".
===Minha Vida Animada===
My Animated Life in the literal translation, is a series of stories with limited animation focused on Ronaldo describing his life. The series served as a replacement for previous animations. The series started in the end of 2015 and was discontinued in 2019.
===Pudim Amassado===
Smashed Pudding in the literal translation, is a character created by Ronaldo, originally a recurring character in the classic Cueio series having appeared in a musical episode of the same name. The character and music have been referenced for many years in Ronaldo's works. On August 17, 2022 a dedicated YouTube channel for the character was created focusing on live-action music videos for little kids with the character being portrayed by an actor wearing a costume and having a human friend.
==Controversies==
Ronaldo has been heavily criticized by the public due to his content change, having canceled the original Cueio series and stopped making animations to focus on easier and simpler content to entertain only the children's audience. He has also been criticized for his arrogance and greed.
After he stopped producing new episodes of Cueio after 2015 Ronaldo was asked by his audience to continue the series, in July 2017, Ronaldo recorded a video in which he explains that he did not want to continue the series because it left him depressed and reflected periods sad of your life.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0t4DZ3EqXlY After Turma do Cueio premiered in 2019, the animation was poorly received by the public who hated the reboot and continued to ask for the return of classic Cueio, even bursting in the same year in the meme "Cadê Cueio?" (Where's Cueio), which even caused another video of him seriously asking to stop it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhNsmw4RfgM
In early 2021, he broke off friendship with his friend Wilson from Colônia Contra-Ataca! after Wilson was offended that Ronaldo criticized him as a fool for sticking with the same video format for so many years instead of switching to an easier and more lucrative format.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4JJ5Nsz7Rw
Later, Ronaldo was also criticized by the public for wanting to start a career selling NFTs using images from the canceled Cueio series and marketing on his social networks.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Flzk5U2oB68
Ronaldo was also the target of criticism for cursing subscribers who had anime photos in their icons.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQY7OHZcozE
In early 2023 Felipe Castanhari started attacking Ronaldo after finding out that he was looking to hire programmers specializing in artificial intelligence arts to work for him.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00fbQY7gH2A
