American pop

5 Jun

Trailer for the 1981 Ralph Bakshi ground breaking animated film American Pop.
The State Of The Art In Living Animation.
“American Pop” is the animated story of a very talented and troubled family starting with 19th century Russia and moving through several generations of musicians.

The film covers American music from the pre-jazz age through soul, ’50s rock, drug-laden psychadelia, and punk, finally ending with the onset of new wave in the early 1980s.
All those years, all those dreams, all those sons… one of them is going to be a star.
