American Pop 1981 TV trailer preview

[digitalbots]

the movie was very well written I was very surprised when i saw it

[goodvibesallround]

I'm going to take acid and watch this movie.

The problem with this movie is that it switches eras just as you get invested in the characters

[IcePirate3]

Holy rotoscopes Batman!

Awesome movie, one of my fave animated movies since i was 12 back in 93 as i watched it on TBS with Vampire Hunter D, Heavy Metal, Robot Carnival Watership Down and Rock and Rule with Hey Good Looking. I got hooked into adult animation since then and bought this when it came out when i was 16, loved it! I also cried when Zalmie's mom died, If you like this one, check out Pink Floyd The Wall, Heavy Metal, Waltz with Bashir and Grave of The Fireflies

Zalmie Should Have Been A Shanquinthoe Unlike or a New Sardine Samurai Chief

[desotowrong]

This one of my favorite films.

[moviedudeinc]

why is this rated R and do you have the tv trailer for Fritz the cat, Heavy traffic, and Wizards?

[robatsea2009]

for coarse language, and unfortunately I do not have those other trailers

[SamusDrake]

I'd love to see the full film as Pete seems like a true cinematic Hero.

Where others have failed, he succeeded - like a prophecy fulfilled.

@SamusDrake It is a great film,When Pete sings Night Moves(w/Bob Seger's Vocals of course) for some stuffed shirt record execs-it is a great scene

[SamusDrake]

@deckard97

Some kind soul put the whole film up on Youtube and it was excellent. Favourite scene is where Pete pulls a flick-knife out on a potential mugger to protect Tony.

With all the music films(most of them absolute shit) doing the rounds at the moment, its a crime that this film isn't noticed. Its nothing less than historically important! ^_^

[deckard97]

@SamusDrake I completely agree,it should be re released for its 30th birthday.Try getting the dvd on amazon or ebay,its worth it

[SamusDrake]

@deckard97

Would do, but its only an American DVD release - it was never(to my knowledge) released in Europe. And I sadly don't see them bothering with it on Blu-Ray.

I guess my "other copy" will do for now... -_^

@deckard97

Does the rotoscoping techniques in this movie remind you of the similar animation rotscoping techniques like in avatar? Cameron is a Bakshi fan and wanted to do a similar kind of animation technique only more modern, same for Zemeckis. If you like this one i recommend Grave of the Fireflies, Waltz with Bashir and Pink Floyd The Wall for similar animated movies

[deckard97]

@Johnlindsey289 Yes i noticed that in Avatar-was not aware Cameron is a Ralph Bakshi fan

[Johnlindsey289]

@deckard97

Have you seen the movies i mentioned especially Grave of the Fireflies? very powerful and heartbreaking animated drama

[deckard97]

@Johnlindsey289 Only Alan Parker's Pink Floyd: The Wall-very cool i must see the other 2 titles you mentioned

[Johnlindsey289]

@deckard97

does this animation also remind you of what Robert Zemeckis is doing in movies like Christmas Carol, Polar Express or Beowulf?

[deckard97]

@Johnlindsey289 yes-i do like that style Zemeckis uses in his animated films.

This rotoscoped live person rock footage could have been perfect for the Rock Band and Guitar Hero video games!
