When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

This is perhaps the most satanic cartoon I have ever watched. I know what you're thinking right now, "this guy hasn't watched many made for adult cartoons or anime." No, I have seen plenty of crazy Japanese anime sh!t, Fritz the cat stuff, Pink Floyd's The Wall, Heavy Metal and a million other things I can not think of right now. The big difference between this and all those others is that Rock & Rule doesn't have to try. It simply doesn't have to try at all, and that is why I call this the most satanic, evil, dark or whatever cartoon or anime I have ever seen hands down. The villain is the source of all this madness. If you come across this little gem I highly recommended it if you want to trip off how in the heck did they let little kids watch this back in the days.

I have always loved animation, and would watch anything animated regardless of how good or bad it is. I did like Rock & Rule. It is not one of my favourite animated movies like Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, The Secret of NIMH, Sleeping Beauty, Watership Down, Snow White, Prince of Egypt, Bambi, Pinocchio and The Iron Giant. But it is nowhere near one of the worst like Spiders Web: A Pig's Tale, Titanic: The Animated Movie, Legend of the Titanic, In Search of the Titanic, Space Thunder Kids, Secret of NIMH 2, Doogal, Ratatoing and Pokemon: The First Movie. Rock & Rule is problematic for me, with the exception of Mok the characters are not really all that interesting, Omar especially is very bland, and the story despite having a good premise is rather predictable and doesn't have much to it, for example we are aware of Mok's plan but we don't know why. The dialogue is a mixed bag, there are times where it is funny and with inspired quips but there are other points where it comes across as stilted. Conversely, the animation is great, the character designs are bizarre but quite unique and the backgrounds and colours are very atmospheric. The voice acting is good, and Mok is an interesting villain, the best character of the movie by default. I did enjoy the thrilling atmosphere conveyed during the songs. But the best part of Rock & Rule is easily the soundtrack, which is amazing. It has such a groove and takes you back to one of the most nostalgic eras. In conclusion, had room for improvement but a very interesting animated film. 7/10 Bethany Cox

I didn't see this when it first came out, back in the early 80s. If I had, I probably would have liked it, since I was the proper demographic. As someone nearing 40, I really can't say that I was impressed, however. Unlike Bakshi's work, which is generally aimed at adults, this was squarely aimed at the kid demographic, with anthropomorphic animals, over-the-top sentimentality ("love conquers everything" is a major theme), and incredibly dopey characters, right out of a Saturday morning kids' cartoon, with wacky voices to go along with them. The plot is pretty much throwaway. A narcissistic, aging "superrocker" named Mok is looking to summon a demon, although he's never really given any motivation for doing so, other than maybe wanting to be more famous than he already is. Unfortunately, he comes across as a stereotypical Disney villain and a not-so-subtle satire of Mick Jagger. The other characters are pretty much forgettable, though the heroine Angel could have been an interesting character. Stupidly, she's completely incapable of doing anything herself, and needs to be constantly saved by her male friends.The animation is pretty good, and the voice work is alright. I really wasn't very fond of the art style (cartoon animals, with snouts and big ears), as it was heavily influenced by Disney. Some people have suggested that it's supposed to be a parody of Disney's style, but I really doubt that. These are the same guys who did the Strawberry Shortcake cartoon in the 1980s. I think they're incapable of being edgy enough to take on parody. I think it's a straight-up, honest homage.In the end, this may be a little too dark for younger kids, but I doubt that it will really appeal very strongly to older teens (or adults), due to the cheesy message and heavy moralizing, which is more common in kids' cartoons. I had always heard it described as "for adults", but it's clearly not. It just goes to show you that pretty much anything that's animated can (and eventually will) be described as "adult" by someone, somewhere, eventually, even if it's overflowing in cheesy sentimentality and completely harmless. I've seen edgier episodes of The Simpsons.While not totally G-rated, I'd still say that anyone older than 12 should probably steer clear of this movie, unless they're Christian. It's got a very simplistic, heavy-handed moral that should resonate well with them.

Nelvana, has been known for producing a lot of animated series such as, "6teen" and "My Dad the Rock Star". But back in 1983, they made an animated film that went on to become a cult-classic. That film was, "Rock and Rule".The story is about when a nuclear war started and the only species left were: Dog's, Cat's, and Rat's. One of the members in a band named, Angel, get's kidnapped by a ruthless rock star named, Mok. The rest of Angel's band follow Mok and try to get Angel back.Pros: The animation was really great. It has a nice post-apocalyptic feel to it. The music in the movie was also great and it features Cheap Trick, Lou Reed, and Iggy Pop. The story was pretty good.Con's: The character, Omar, was bland and boring.Overall, "Rock and Rule", is a great animated film with cool music. If you like, "Heavy Metal", you will like, "Rock and Rule".
