The Trapalhões in the Tail of the Comet
A journey back in time in the form of a cartoon with characterizations of the Trapalhões, from the time of the Roman Empire to the present day, through the Middle Ages, the Old West and the First World War. They begin the film by doing a stand-up show at the Teatro Scala, in Rio de Janeiro, receiving on stage the designer Mauricio de Sousa. From then on, the story unfolds in a cartoon, in which Os Trapalhões is chased by an evil wizard whose aim is to try to hold Didi's (always unsuccessful) hand to rule the world during the passage of the famous Halley Comet.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a hybrid of live-action and animation, relying on the troupe's recognizable comedic chemistry. It explores time travel as a framework for gags and historical parody, maintaining a lighthearted tone aimed at family audiences.
What lingers after viewing is the sense of a cheerful, nostalgic spectacle where an absurd plot serves the group's signature physical humor and playful chaos — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Dedé Santana
