Off the Record

About This Movie

So, there's this odd little gem from '93 called Off the Record. The animation style is quirky and feels almost homemade, which gives it this endearing charm. The story revolves around Nanna's nephew, Stench – what a name, right? – and his reckless pursuit of rock stardom. It’s a wild ride, really, especially when Lil' Puss Puss crashes the party, literally and figuratively. The pacing is a bit uneven; it sometimes lingers too long on scenes that could’ve used a snappier edit. But there’s something about the blend of humor and a cautionary tale about the perils of 'Devil music' that resonates. It’s not your mainstream fare, but it’s got a character all its own, and that’s what makes it stand out.
