The Happy Cricket (Portuguese: O Grilo Feliz) is a 2001 animated children's fantasy film directed by Walbercy Ribas. The film is about Christopher, a singing, guitar-playing, music-loving cricket who must rescue his friends from the evil, music-hating lizard king, Wartlord, and save Linda the Night Star from that villain's grasp.

The English-language dub is dedicated to one of its voice actors, the late Bob Papenbrook.
