ralph bakshi american pop pete

really? i missed out on that, it has been a long time since i have seen the film

@rick4777 yeah dude it was supposed to be his son, he recognized his face in the woman from kansas... when he was in kansas.

interesting that Pete, the one who succeeds in life,at the end is not blood related to his predecessors, I agree this is the best part of the movie.

yeah except for the fact that it was heavily suggested that he was blood related

This is fucking awesome.

When I first found this movie< I spent a whole summer watching it.. This was always my favorite 10 min of the whole movie.. What a joy to just come across it here, and in particular, my favorite segment!

@tinister
I saw this movie when I was young, Just netflixed it recently and I completely agree...
This movie is years ahead of its time...

I ordered the DVD from Amazon. I have it on vhs somewhere. Wish they would put out a Bakshi Blu-ray box set.

I think Bakshi did a really clever thing by using well known songs rather than original songs for the movie. Not only does the use of recognized songs track the course of music through the storyline - but they also help the viewer to better connect with the world Bakshi is presenting. Using original compositions - would distance the audience from the material, characters, etc. Genius.

I fucking love the energy in this part of the movie. The song's arn't his but they're used well enough for it not to matter too much.
