What's the name of the movie about a kid with a pet skunk?

I'm trying to remember the name of a movie I saw probably 30-40 years ago.  It was perhaps a boy and a girl, siblings.  One of them maybe had a pet skunk that he was hiding, or kept feeding or something.  

At some point, I think they are at a table eating lunch with some adults.  The kid is trying to get ketchup out of a bottle, and is looking into the bottle upside down, and hitting it, and gets ketchup on his face.    (These might be two totally different movies... I thought it was the Mixed up Files of Basil E Frankweiler, but watching it now, I don't think so_

Bach et bottine (1986) https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0090684/

One of my favourite childhood movies, along with La Guerre des Tuques.

It's also on Prime, dubbed in English, and known as Bach and Brocolli: https://www.primevideo.com/search/ref=atv_sr_sug_8?phrase=bach%20and%20broccoli&ie=UTF8

Hmm, I'll check it out, but I don't think so.  I feel like the skunk was more of a comic element, maybe it followed him around.  I feel like they were in the city, maybe eating lunch at a cafe, and the skunk appeared...

@MMars posted a response which doesn't seem to be here anymore -- "No Deposit, No Return", released in 1976.  Features two kids and their skunk.

@jsbain So was that the correct movie, or no?
