As Cobras

About This Movie

As Cobras, a 1985 animated gem, brings a unique blend of humor and whimsy to the screen. It’s got this delightful tone where football, laughter, and some surprisingly poignant moments coalesce. The pacing is interesting – sometimes it feels a bit scattered, like it’s trying to fit in all these adventures from Brazil's discovery to intergalactic escapades. The animation style has this charming roughness that adds character, and the characters – both snakes and slugs – make for a peculiar but engaging mix. Themes of love and exploration are woven throughout, and you can really see the influence of Luís Fernando Veríssimo’s writing. It's not your standard fare, which is what makes it stand out.
