A Taste of Money

About This Movie

A Taste of Money is this quirky animation that really captures a certain offbeat vibe of the era. Rattfink, the protagonist, is this kind of hapless guy who thinks marrying for money will solve all his problems, but it just leads him into a whirlwind of bossy in-laws and endless chatter from her son. The pacing is a bit erratic, which gives it a sort of chaotic charm. It’s interesting to see how the animation blends adult themes with a comedic touch, making you think while you laugh. The character designs are wild, and there's a noticeable flair in the animation style that feels both nostalgic and unique, setting it apart from more mainstream offerings. Definitely one of those gems that has a solid spot in animation history, even if it's not widely known.

A Taste of Money has had a bit of a tumultuous journey in the collector community, with its original prints being relatively scarce. It was released on VHS back in the day, but finding it on DVD or Blu-ray is like hunting for gold. Collectors often keep an eye out for this film due to its distinctive animation style and the way it captures a specific slice of 70s humor. It’s kind of a conversation starter among animation enthusiasts, especially those looking to dive deeper into lesser-known titles.
