Not Without My Handbag

About This Movie

Not Without My Handbag is just a wild ride, isn’t it? This 1993 gem takes animation into a realm that’s both funny and a little unsettling. The premise—a girl watching her aunt get dragged to hell over a washing machine payment—sets a pretty unique tone right from the start. The animation style feels anarchic, almost frenetic, and enhances that blend of comedy and horror. The pacing keeps you guessing, like you’re not sure what’s coming next, which adds to the overall oddness. And the undead aunt returning for her handbag? Just a quirky twist that stays with you. It’s got that underground vibe, and the practical effects? They definitely stand out. A real conversation starter for sure.
