Watch Rock and Rule Online.
Movie Title: Rock and Rule Rock and Rule is available for streaming or downloading. |
Rock & Rule is truly one of the greatest undiscovered gems of early 80’s animation. Barely being released in theaters and having limited TV and video releases, not too many people had the chance to really see this masterpiece. Taking more than a few years to make, and more than 200 people working around the clock on the project, it was truly a labor of love.

This new 2-Disc Collector’s Edition is a very nice set, however you look at it. You can tell that much time and care went into this one. Packed with a new Anamorphic 16X9 Widescreen transfer and a jaw-dropping Dolby 5.1 remix, Rock & Rule has never looked and sounded better! The package is a custom box with a pullout gatefold digi-case, and exceptional artwork on all sides.
Now let’s talk about the extras on the first disc, which is also available as the cheaper stand alone single DVD release of Rock & Rule. An audio commentary with Director Clive A. Smith is well worth listening in on, you’ll learn tons and never get bored. A 22+ minute vintage making-of featurette also reveals many facts concerning the production of Rock & Rule. A short restoration comparison is included, where you can see just how great this new DVD transfer looks! Lastly is an extensive stills gallery of pre-production sketches.

Now let’s talk about the special features on the 2nd disc, only available in the 2-Disc Collector’s Edition. A nice collector’s booklet is included featuring various interviews, artwork and photos. Perhaps the real gem is the alternate Canadian version of Rock & Rule presented here in fullscreen format. The main differences are that a different actor was used to voice Omar, much of the dialogue is more risque, and it runs a few minutes longer in the credits. The original negatives for this version were lost in a fire and the best remaining print source was used, so the quality is sometimes not too great and has imperfections, yet it’s well worth watching. Also included is “The Devil And Daniel Mouse”, an earlier half-hour animation piece, which was the inspiration for Rock & Rule. Next is another lengthy making-of featurette about the production of “The Devil And Daniel Mouse”. Next we have a 12+ minute workprint version of the end of Rock & Rule with various scenes in rough form. There’s also a short workprint title sequence containing the alternate “Ring Of Power” title name of Rock & Rule. Included are two trailers, one being for Rock & Rule. Another extensive stills gallery is included again on this disc. Lastly, if you have a DVD-ROM drive on your computer you can pop this disc in and view the original script for Rock & Rule in Adobe PDF format.
Did I forget to mention the soundtrack? With performances by Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Cheap Trick, Debbie Harry and Earth Wind And Fire…every song is simply excellent and stays in your head long after the movie ends. It’s a real shame that this never got a full soundtrack release, since the music does for Rock & Rule what the awesome animation visuals do for the atmosphere of the film. And the effective synth score by composer Patricia Cullen (who sadly passed away) works perfectly and is often very creepy.
Even if you never had the chance to see Rock & Rule before, you almost can’t go wrong if you enjoy other early 80’s animation films like Heavy Metal and American Pop.
Set in the future where man has destroyed himself, the only survivors were rats, cats and dogs that have mutated into humanoid beings. An aging rocker named “Mok” has plans to take over the world using an experiment to bring a demon from another dimension by using a special voice, he kidnaps a beautiful singer named “Angel” to use her voice, but only Omar ( her boyfriend) and friends must stop Mok before it’s too late.
A magnificent, entertaining and well made animated Sci-fi fantasy rock opera with the music of Debroah Harry, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, Earth Wind and Fire and Cheap Trick. The Animation is what i call spectacular even on the characters, there’s a fairly decent plot but still this is a very impressive underrated cult animated flick that will now have it’s audience thanks to DVD, that Angel is a total knockout.
The 2-Disc set includes the American version with great pictre & sound quality and the alternate Canadian version with a different voice track for “Omar” some omitted scenes and a alternate ending. There’s also commentary by the director Clive Smith, behind the scenes, the Nelvana short ” The Devil and Daniel Mouse” with behind the scenes of that short, trailer to “Rock & Rule”, still gallery, collectable booklet, and conceptual art.
A highly recommended movie and a highly recommended DVD for lovers of animation, Sci-fi, fantasy and rock.
Also recommended: Heavy Metal, American Pop, The Fifth Element, Blade Runner, Total Recall, Wizards, The Black Cauldron, Fire & Ice, Hey Good Looking!, Robin Hood (Disney), Akira, Ghost in The Shell, Metropolis ( both 1927 and 2001 versions), Princess Mononoke, The Dark Crystal, The Wizard of Oz, Treasure Planet.
