Review of American Pop (1981) by Ryan K — 17 Jul 2010

I watched this movie 3 times, once as a kid, once as a teen and now as a adult, each time it gets better and each time I watch it I enjoy it and get it even more. Ralph Bakish was way ahead his time, sadly even now if he made these films he would be ahead of his time. Sadly animation will probably never get respect for being a legitimate art form or being considered on the same level as real film making. Society still believes animation should only be for children or dick and fart joke shows.

This film could have easily been a live action film and still have the same effect instead it was done animated and it still works. That is a credit to Ralph Bakish. I just wish that there were more movies like this sadly the only people with balls to make animation for adults (non porn) is the Japanese.
