Medicur

About This Movie

Medicur (1976) is an intriguing piece of animation that takes a rather offbeat approach to its narrative. The plot centers around Rocky McSnarl, who, after escaping prison, aims to get back at Dogfather. The catch? He ends up hiding in a hospital where Dogfather is unknowingly working as a nurse. It’s interesting how the film manages to blend humor with darker themes of revenge and identity, creating a unique atmosphere. The animation style reflects the era well, though it's the character dynamics that really draw you in. You can almost feel the tension as Rocky navigates this precarious situation, all wrapped up in a layer of cartoonish charm. It’s the last installment of the Dogfather series, which adds a certain bittersweet element to the whole viewing experience.

Medicur holds a unique spot in the animation landscape of the late '70s. While it didn't achieve widespread recognition, collectors appreciate its distinctive narrative and the final appearance of Dogfather. Finding a physical copy can be tricky, as it hasn’t been widely released beyond its original format. Interest has been growing among niche collectors who are drawn to its unusual premise and character dynamics, making it a noteworthy piece for those who enjoy rare animated titles.
