Sorry It has been a while but I have come back with a movie review.... the Ralph Bakshi classic American Pop. I know its nothing like the rest of the movies I have previously reviewed nothing remotely spooky or scary nothing really supernatural to it. I love this movie though. Its a story about a family that each generation is bound by only one thing their love for music its like The Jazz Singer meets Godfather meets On the road. The music spans the whole 20th century up until the late 70s maybe early 80s. The movie was done in rotoscope so it is animation over actors an art that really died with the advent of cgi animation and has a very distinctive look that many of Ralph Bakshis Movies have. Its use of music evokes emotions in the right time and is never ill fitting or out of place with in the film. It is also a story of self destruction but also hope. If you enjoy music or Ralph Bakshi watch this film.
