– 1h 35 min. | Comedy, Family.

Storyline:

Three boys and their uncle venture into the Amazon jungle in search of their missing grandfather who’s been kidnapped by evil space robots! An unusual and hard-to-find kids film that mixes live-action, animation and some “mondo” footage to tell it’s story.

User review:

Very nice Brazilian film for children! Cute and amusing. Flavio Migliaccio was great both as the eccentric clown-like uncle and as the director. The three boys – brothers also in real life and nowadays experient directors – live extraordinary adventures with (and without) uncle Maneco, from magic reality to pure sci-fi. Combining animation with live action was innovative and the beasts footage was nice. Soundtrack was appropriate for the atmosphere.
