Mostly mediocre animation, and a horribly dated concept of what's cool. Extremely adolescent, like a Saturday morning cartoon adaptation of a movie that was cheesy and stupid to begin with. The music isn't that great, either.

Oh man, was this that "My name is Mok, thanks a lot!" movie? That thing was in my head for weeks, curse you Canada.

An interesting story idea, though I would have liked it plotted a bit better.

This movie was marketed to adults for "the use of occultism" (they show a pentagram once or twice)( Geez...). All in all I can't find anything about the movie that would give it an 16 rating, it's pretty much a pg13 at most in my opinion.True, the story has some plot holes. (Like: What's Moks motive? Yes, he does complain about ticket sales , but is that enough?). What makes the movie really stand out is a really good soundtrack, and character design (Mok is a really good Villain).

Drug-trip of a movie. Angel's Song kicks so much ass.

A very trippy movie from the 80s, and does it ever show. Although the animation quality varied at times, it was still a feast for the eyes, but the plot, when its not running on Rule Of Cool, leaves something hanging: flat characters who never really get out there (heck, the males seemed to spend half the movie high on some drug or another) and the musical hype of the film never really seems to influence it that much. Overall, I think this one could have used a bit more tweaking.

A futuristic epos about anthromorphisized animals who have to save the world from an evil demon by the power of rock. Featuring Debbie Harry, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed and Cheap Trick. And it's almost as insane as it sounds.

This movie is everything an animated musical should be. Darker and more adult than any Disney film for sure, and that's what makes it special. It was part of the great boom of 70s and 80s adult animated movies stared by Ralph Bakshi. I'm glad it was given a nice new DVD/Blu-Ray release, now if we could only get an official soundtrack.

Rock animation for adults featuring singing voices by Lou Reed and Iggy Pop (very little of him). Story is 'meh', animation is dated, and probably didn't look that good even back in 1983.

The songs are cheesy and the characters and writing are laughable, but the trippy, shockingly adult images here make "Rock & Rule" an oddly fascinating watch.

Painfully bad adult cartoon from a time where MTV was new and still played music, thus someone thought that it would be a perfect fit to fuse young people's music with young people's cartoons. The problem is that the writers went too young, they neglected the plot assuming the intelligence of a three year old, and what came out is a movie that's so bad it's hard to understand what is happening.
