"Curse of the Kurs" was Hammer Films' sole foray into animation. Released in 1979, the film was quickly forgotten because of its brief and limited distribution due to Hammer Films' economic collapse that year. It's doubtful the film would have been a success even had it benefited from wider distribution; while the director, voice actors and animators all did fine jobs, "Curse of the Kurs" suffered at the conceptual level. The film's story followed the "Hammer Horror" formula, which proved to be quite unconvincing when acted out in animation by a green-haired girl called Mondy and a host of identical cyan hedgehogs all called Kur. One of the few contemporary reviews of the film aptly described it as being "too silly for its own good".
Forgotten for many years, in 2005 "Curse of the Kurs" was released on DVD in the Japanese market. In a rather strange move, Toei Animation, which handled the Japanese dub, replaced the spoken dialogue with songs, turning the film into a J-pop horror musical of sorts.

For supposedly obscure historical cartoon characters, they do pop up in a lot of places. PErhaps they are kinda like the band The Pixies, where almost the only people who listen to the band are people IN bands, so they influence pop music history without aever seeping into public consciousnesss....
