About This Movie

The King and the Trapalhões is a 1979 adventure comedy that blends family-friendly humor with fantastical elements. Directed by Renato Aragão, it features a mix of comedy and fantasy as it follows a young king and his unlikely allies.

In The King and the Trapalhões, the young king Amad finds his throne usurped by the evil Vizir Jafar, leading to his imprisonment. During his time in jail, he encounters the famous thieves Abdul, Abel, Abol, and Abil. Together, they devise a plan to escape and reclaim his throne. Along the way, Amad meets Princess Alina and falls in love.

The film's narrative takes a twist when the heroes, aided by a genie from a lamp discovered by Abdul, are transported to the twentieth century. This encounter with modernity leads to comedic confusion as they navigate their new environment and face the Vizir's magical powers. The blend of adventure, comedy, and family themes showcases the unique style of the Os Trapalhões franchise, making it a notable entry.

'The King and the Trapalhões' has had a few formats over the years, but finding a clean print is a bit of a task. The film holds some appeal for collectors due to its unique blend of humor and adventure, which isn’t as common in family films from that era. Scarcity comes into play, especially with DVD releases, and those who appreciate Brazilian cinema or the Trapalhões group tend to seek it out for its nostalgic value and comedic flair.
