Mok summons the creature because he's a narcissistic megalomaniac. His record sales are dropping and people are beginning to think of him as a has-been. He feels that people no longer believe in or appreciate his "magic". So he wants to summon the demon to essentially prove his magic and that he's great and everyone else is beneath him. He's just an evil crybaby. I always thought that was pretty well explained in the movie.
ONe thing i loved about this movie were the triplets....though the third one seemed to be forgoten at the end of the movie. Zip who never really was evil and just doing what his brothers because they were family in the end sacrficed his life to do what he knew was right. He brother still doesn't learn this and is only interested in revenge. Interesting dynamic and over thought i know.
@WikiSorcerer He thought that he would be able to control it to help him rule the world. Its is never explained fully but then again doesn't need to be.
These are the shows of the 1978-1980s. You see people This is what shows were like. Now look at the crap you see today. Now think about it. The people in this world have NO talent NO creativity NO desire of Action. Everyone only thinks about 2 things. Paying bills and getting laid! THATS The problem we have with our world now. Im not saying sex is bad but when you base your entire life around it. You become pathetic!
Wow. I remember my brother letting me watch this when my parents were not home when I was a kid. I think that blonde cat chick is why I find anthropomorphic women so attractive
Anyone reading this, just to give you guys a heads-up: Rock & Rule (25th Anniversary Edition) [Blu-ray] will be released on September 28, 2010 - amazon.
I think this movie is a classic. I admit i was only 8 when it came out but as a teenager seeing it i appreciated it for what it was. I love this movie being a die hard musical fan. It's in my top 5 of my favorite musicals. Xanadu being #1 of course hehe. Appreciate the post. Love it
@zzzzizzzz1 There are 2 versions of Rock & Rule. In one Omar and Angel had tails. I assume they were cats or rats of some sort hehe. But yes zzzz you must have seen the version when they had tails :)
gotta love mok's expressions at 2:45 and 3:03, lol first he's like "oh how cute she's trying to stop me" then he's all " oh good grief she's singing about love to stop a demon how cliche".
Oh, yeah; Mok's expressions are the best part. That eyeroll is classic. I also like his expression when he realizes that the singing is actually *working.*
I think schizoidboy really nailed it. I was twenty in eighty-three but don't remember it being around. I was about 24 when I saw it on cable, was the cartoon network around then. If you weren't a Disney movie it was hard to get artistic credibility as an animated movie. The whole comic movie thing was decades away.
this was the first actual animation film I ever watched when I was about 14 it has been awhile but I loved this movie. I looked for a long time to remember what it was called finally I found it yay for me.
I think the problem was that it was released at a time when cartoons were either Disney or Fritz the Cat and anything in between didn't get noticed, you didn't have films like this until the anime craze got started in ernst.
I agree shivnz. Just like Highlander, hardly what you call the best, and definite room for improvement, but it has that legend feel to it if you know what I mean.
To be fair, he'd just been thrown into a Portal that was to consign him to a Hell Dimension, clear thinking wasn't his top most priority at that current time. ;)
When asked who the voice was for the computer, it said No ONE could return the beast, and he figured NO ONE at all could return it. He never considered that no one person meaning a duet etc could return the beast. she he had a silly wtf moment.
The biggest reason why I love this movie so much (even more than having Cheap Trick provide most of the soundtrack) is that it always seemed to me that it was a lost chapter in the movie Heavy Metal. Like Don Bluth submitted something for the movie, then it got rejected at the last minute. Still a classic. NO. UNCLE. MIKEY!!!!
I think the reason this film wasn't well received was because it was released long before the anime growth, where you had different writing and characters then the traditional Disney based animation.
Nah, it was made in Canada by Canadians. They seem to have a liking for anthropomorphic cartoons, the other major animal character they made was Arthur.
I think films like this need to be circulated around a bit more, to hopefully engage more artists into producing animation for adults in the West. Nowadays, the demographic is primarily aimed at 8 year olds.
@dancingskull01= It doesn't suck. It's just been abused by the industry. Still 2D will always be Number 1 with me. If it wasn't for the stupid suits, this film would have been a bigger hit.
It sounds like he's saying "My devil, my melborne!" or something like that. . . I am 99.999999999 percent positive that I am mistaken however. In the .000000001 percent chance that I'm correct, let me say WOOOOOOOT
I first saw this movie when I was 4,. I've looked 17 years for it,. my dad couldn't remember what I was talking about. I get chills when Omar starts singing to and if you guys love this one, try Ralph Bakshi's "Wizards"
I think it's because Omar and Angel are true loves, and true loves singing is more powerful than most other types. Also, I have seen "Wizards", great film, but the war scenes could've been edited a bit, they go on too long for me.
I love the duet Angel and Omar sing, plus one thing I always liked about this film is how Dizzy had common sense and smarts. Some stereotypes depict fat characters as stupid. You know, I read that all the characters are supposed to be Anthro dogs, cats, and rats, but except for Angel and Mok (they're both cats) I can't tell who's what!
Actually I think his name is Zeb and Toad did need a motive to toss Mok through the portal. Still you're right, I wish Zeb didn't die so soon after realizing the truth between Good (Omar) and Evil (Mok),
In all sincerity this is one of the best animated flicks I have ever seen to date. This is the pride of the Canadian music industry righ there. The ending to this movie is the most memorable I have ever seen and puts all endings to animation movies to total shame!!!!!
Think badass now, go watch the quickening at the end of the first Highlander movie. They traced over the demon animations on to the movie for the final quickening off Kurgen. I saw this movie and thought, where do I know that demon from? This movie is so hardcore they reused its animation for other movies.
I had to google search the movie to find the full movie, and even then, the site locked me out about the time this clip, so in essence I got to see it I guess.
This song is so kick ass! I loved it when it first came out and I love it now! The animation always got to me, though. There is crappy cel animation, next to rotoscoping, next to some really strange 3d effects. Typical of late 70's and early 80's animated movies like this ( watch Heavy Metal and you'll see what I mean). I always wondered how they got the 3d effects.
Actually, for the demon screenshots, in the documentary, they said they used cow guts, and smeared it over the screen to make the effect. It's kinda sick, but it worked lol
One of my favorites, thanks for posting this. I taped it off the tv years ago, and the tape is on it's last legs. "If I can sing it up, I can sing it back" ranks right up there with my other fav movie lines.
It's movies like this that make me angry towards everything being computer animated these days. Yet if you compare 2d animation from the 80's and 90's to today everything sucks now with all these cartoons being thick black outlined and extremely undetailed and flat characters. Compare new batman to 90's batman and new ninja turtles to old 80's/90's ninja turtles. Compare ren and stimpy to fairly odd parents.
Because how fluid animation is, and how many animation errors there are counts for nothing, right? Even a lot of movements in this movie look exaggerated and jerky to me.
Well, it's true. Digital does look better. But there are effects and other things that make the old way much better. Just because they've gone digital doesn't mean every cartoon has to have the same art style and what ever else is bad about cartoons these days. It's cheaper to do it Digital, but i just wish the shows of now had the quality they did back in the 90's. Kids don't know what they missed out on. Exaggertated movements and expressions are what make cartoons great.
If you'll read my comment more closely, you'll notice I never said anything about digital animation. I was talking about 2D animation, and how even if older stuff looks more colorful, that doesn't mean there were less animation errors.
Yea I would love to have the Duet Song at the end.. They both wrote and sung their own song and the they Smashed it together at end without ever having sung or listened to the two together.. So I guess ya say One of First Smash ups and came out great hehehe.. would kill for good copy of it too.. Love Blondie and Cheap Trick.
Seriously, I would kill to have the studio version of the song from this movie. The Deborah Harry only version is great, but the end credit version is so much better.
I think it's sad that while the entire movie was pretty good, that ONE scene, where Zip dies.....seemed to be lacking something. Yeah, it was sad, but the guy doing his brother's voice couldn't get very much emotion into the lines.
before he gets picked up he is freaking and just babbling but as they brother picks him up he says " you can't do this I am Mok" and then when he goes into the pit he says " the magical one voice one heart one song.

Think badass now, go watch the quickening at the end of the first Highlander movie. They traced over the demon animations on to the movie for the final quickening off Kurgen. I saw this movie and thought, where do I know that demon from? This movie is so hardcore they reused its animation for other movies.

I had to google search the movie to find the full movie, and even then, the site locked me out about the time this clip, so in essence I got to see it I guess.

This song is so kick ass! I loved it when it first came out and I love it now! The animation always got to me, though. There is crappy cel animation, next to rotoscoping, next to some really strange 3d effects. Typical of late 70's and early 80's animated movies like this ( watch Heavy Metal and you'll see what I mean). I always wondered how they got the 3d effects.

Actually, for the demon screenshots, in the documentary, they said they used cow guts, and smeared it over the screen to make the effect. It's kinda sick, but it worked lol

I've always wished they had a soundtrack put out for this movie, sighs.

One of my favorites, thanks for posting this. I taped it off the tv years ago, and the tape is on it's last legs. "If I can sing it up, I can sing it back" ranks right up there with my other fav movie lines.

Wonder if a good clean version will ever see the light of day?

I've only seen a few other clips from the movie, so I have to ask - what happened to Mok's hair?

He wears wigs, I believe.

Mok was always bald and just had a variety of different wigs.

Animation sucks these days.

It's movies like this that make me angry towards everything being computer animated these days. Yet if you compare 2d animation from the 80's and 90's to today everything sucks now with all these cartoons being thick black outlined and extremely undetailed and flat characters. Compare new batman to 90's batman and new ninja turtles to old 80's/90's ninja turtles. Compare ren and stimpy to fairly odd parents.

Because how fluid animation is, and how many animation errors there are counts for nothing, right? Even a lot of movements in this movie look exaggerated and jerky to me.

Well, it's true. Digital does look better. But there are effects and other things that make the old way much better. Just because they've gone digital doesn't mean every cartoon has to have the same art style and what ever else is bad about cartoons these days. It's cheaper to do it Digital, but i just wish the shows of now had the quality they did back in the 90's. Kids don't know what they missed out on. Exaggertated movements and expressions are what make cartoons great.

If you'll read my comment more closely, you'll notice I never said anything about digital animation. I was talking about 2D animation, and how even if older stuff looks more colorful, that doesn't mean there were less animation errors.

Damn, if only Rock A Doodle was like this film.
JinEfreet 3 years ago
Hey, Rock-a-Doodle had pretty darn good animation, and a decent plot. The characters were pretty good, especially the Grand Duke of Owls.

Seriously, I would kill to have the studio version of the song from this movie. The Deborah Harry only version is great, but the end credit version is so much better.

last i heard, the only reason that it can't is the location where the original print of the film was got torched

I think it's sad that while the entire movie was pretty good, that ONE scene, where Zip dies.....seemed to be lacking something. Yeah, it was sad, but the guy doing his brother's voice couldn't get very much emotion into the lines.

What is Mok shouting as he's getting picked up? It sounds like 'bebbybehbeh' or something.
