Retro Thursdays! - Rock & Rule

Ending this month on a high note here, I've chosen one of my all time favorite animated movies!
Rock & Rule! This 1983 film was a doomed success. Plagued with setbacks and terrible, almost non-existent marketing, it never got released to the mainstream audiences that it intended.
The animation is great, the atmosphere reeks 80's, and it features original music by the likes of Earth, Wind & Fire, Debbie Harry, Iggy Pop, and Lou Reed!!! Seriously this should have been on the top of everybody's list.

Here's the Wikipedia synopsis of the film to give you all the little ins and outs. Just click on the picture below to begin playback of the movie.


This is the American edited version of the film. It's the much more rare Canadian version that contains all the uncut goodness...hard to find but if you do grab it!
