Well Done. Aces for Bakshi
What a genuinely interesting and touching film. The rotoscoped animation may not be everyone’s cup of tea but it works just fine here. I honestly think it’s use was a big plus as it gives this human story a human, life like quality.If this was done today it would be slopping over with re-do tunes by current pop nobodies to jam onto a “music from and inspired by” CD not to mention it would be poorly cast with Hollywood no talents.
The casting here doesn’t leave you straining to identify celebs, it just has good actors portraying good characters. You focus on the story of the family, which after all is the point.
Underrated and very much worth your time.
Greatest animation ever from the greatest animator…
Modern animated features pale in comparison. All we get today is the crum they produce over at Disney (excepting the few very cinematic scenes we get in Dinosaur) and a few decent Dreamworks films that hardly qualify as animation anymore.This film takes the animation format and explores what it can really do with character and theme. It takes American history and turns it into a chronicle of musical development that satisfies the music-lover as no other film does.
Don’t judge Bakshi by LOTR, see this one and Wizards and you’ll have a new respect for animation. The only animated film even approaching this one since it was made is the Rats of Nihm, and it’s a distant second. Even Nihm seems like Casablanca compared with modern crud like The Emporer’s New Groove, or whatever hollow junk Disney is releasing next summer. See this film and remember (or learn for the first time) what truly good animation can be!
