Plot: Although it featured songs by Debbie Harry, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Cheap Trick, and Earth, Wind & Fire, Rock and Rule (Canada, 1983) never received a general US release. Set in a post-apocalyptic...( read more read more... )

Rock and Rule reflects the confusion of the animation industry in the early '80s. Yellow Submarine and Fritz the Cat had proved there was an audience for hip, edgy animated features. But nobody could make a good one, and a series of bombs caused animation to be labeled box-office poison. More than 20 years later, Rock and Rule holds a curiosity value for fans of old rock, but it's not a memorable film. (Rated PG: violence, grotesque imagery, brief nudity, alcohol, drug, and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

    I probably would have enjoyied it more if I liked the songs before hand, but not bad animation, a little boring at time, but then again that's just me.

    classic animation--but what can you say about a cyberpunk rock opera with anthropomorphic characters and overtones of H.P. Lovecraft?

    Outstanding animation and music make this one to catch. Its set years after WWIII where the only survivors mutated from Dogs, Cats and Rats, and Mok a ledgendary superstar wants to raise a daemon and take over the world, but he needs a special voice to sing the song to do it. Meanwhile you have a band lead by Omar and Angel (who we find out is the special voice Mok needs) who are trying to make it big. Mok finds out and offers the band...er..um..Angel a contract... this leads to Mok ever so closely to his evil plot. The music that is in here, is from the 80s, (Blondie, Cheap Trick, Iggy Pop, etc). This was based on "The Devil and Daniel Mouse" (which is included in the 2 Disc release of this movie on DVD)

    With an original score and a dastardly rock villain, it's a shame it didn't do as well when released.
