Clássicos do Cinema - Turma da Mônica was the title of a series of comic books created by Mauricio de Sousa and published by Panini Comics between 2007 and 2020. The title became known because it is a series of stories involving the characters from Monica and Friends playing characters from popular films (like Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Batman Forever, The Terminator...) in parodies focused on comedy with a high use of pop references. Most of the issues had new stories, but some presented republications of old stories published in other comic books related to the issue's theme film. Starting in April 2007, the series was initially bi-monthly, but as of August 2014, it became quarterly.

The title initially began as a spiritual successor to Gibizão da Turma da Mônica, which was published quarterly between 1996 and 2001 by Editora Globo republishing some of the stories that were based on films. The stories published in Gibizão were satires of films, classic literary works and other themes. The title became popular enough that in 1997, the magazine won the Prêmio Angelo Agostini for "best launch" and the Troféu HQ Mix for "best editorial project".^{[1][2][3][4][5]}
