Cockfighting

About This Movie

So, "Cockfighting" from '88 is this odd little piece of animation that really stands out in its own way. You've got these two chicks—one black, one white—growing up to be fighters, and there's a rawness to it that's hard to shake off. The animation style is gritty, almost like it captures the underbelly of a surreal world where these creatures are pitted against each other. Pacing can feel a bit erratic, which adds to the chaotic vibe. The themes of violence and survival are pretty pronounced, and it plays with a dark humor that’s not for everyone, but it sure leaves an impression. Definitely not your typical children's flick, that's for sure. Just feels like a hidden gem in the animation realm.
