About This Movie

So, 'Foontic and the Old Woman With a Mustache' is one of those quirky animation pieces from '87 that doesn't quite fit into any mold. It has this offbeat charm, mostly due to the peculiar character dynamics. Belladonna, dressed in a men's costume, tries to pull off this kidnapping scheme, which is just absurdly funny. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the whimsy. The dim-witted police chief Foxtrot and the fussy detectives Dober and Pincher bring this sort of slapstick vibe to the whole thing. Practical effects are charmingly outdated, but they have a certain endearing quality. Plus, the voice performances have this raw, unrefined energy that gives the film a unique personality.
