Netflix love

[zimon66]

Long story short, I was checking to see if renting from them would be worthwild so searched for various off-Hollywood titles.

Most of the titles I searched for (hence the list below), they had. Looks like if a movie is on dvd 9 times out of 10 Netflix will have it.

In Bold are the ones I've seen -

Repulsion (1965)
Warlock Moon (1975)
The Deadly Spawn (1983)

Rock and Rule (1983)

Kicks ass! One of those forgotten animated gems that don´t hail from Disney. :O
What better way to have songs in animation than to make a rock-opera? 8)

I've never heard of it :(

I believe it can be found on bittorrent.

Basically, it started out as a half-hour animated special made by Nelvana, but they changed the characters from standard furries to more human-like creatures, added more time, changed most of the story and made it more adult.

Takes place in a far-away post-apocalyptic future where humans are gone and animals have evolved to human-like status. The aging "super-rocker", Mok, wants to revitalize his career by using an ancient satanic scroll to open a portal to another dimension and let a demon into this world. He only needs a specific voice to sing the required text and has been looking for this person for a long time. Meanwhile, a band is trying to score a contract in Mok´s hometown, and their female singer might have the voice he´s after....

It´s got some interesting lead characters, specifically Mok himself (who´s appearence was modelled on famous rockers like Mick Jagger, Iggy Pop and David Bowie) and Angel, the female lead-singer. She´s one of the few "strong female leads" I´ve seen this far back, and she´s the one who frequently have to come to her boy-friend´s aid, not the other way around.

Like I said, it´s a rock opera, so the presence of songs throughout fits in better than most Disney musicals. Artists who contributed to it: Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, Deborah Harry, Cheap Trick and Earth, Wind & Fire.

Just to add, I must admit to finding Mok´s design quite extraordinary, he´s slightly repulsive and creepy, but I just couldn´t help but be mesmerized by the quality of work done on him. The animators must have had a field-day animating him. :D

Oh man, I used to be crazy about Kimba: The White Lion when I was little. It was probably my first real "fandom" XD
