Summary: I use it for my American History Class
Comment: I saw it in 1981 my first year of college.
I like the history in it and the music
I always tell my students "hey everyone you just heard in the video in this segment died of drugs or lost a band member"
It has great real pictures mixed in with the story and it tells an interesting story of a family coming from a pogram in Russia.

Summary: Impressive Pop
Comment: This is a classic. Visually stunning and engaging, it follows a family through several generations trying to make it in the entertainment industry.
In my opinion, Bakshi outdid himself with this one.
My only problem is that the final episode was too easy. It lacked the pathos of the rest of the movie. It seemed like an anticlimax.
But the music was great!

Summary: An incredible dedication to American Pop music and culture
Comment: Probably the most outrageous animated film I've seen. You are never left doubting the creative vision of the filmmakers. Some of the music seems a bit out of left field, but generally well picked. Enjoy.

Summary: An American classic by an American master...
Comment: An honest look at American pop music and the roots of it's pain and suffering buried beneath the commercial glitz of mass-media marketing. I've seen the film mistakenly reviewed as a condemnation of punk music and a glorification of top forty hit makers and nothing is further from the truth. Bakshi takes us through the roots of American music and the suffering of the people it has always masked. We sing because we seek relief from our daily suffering. As the pain gets worse the music gets angrier and angrier until we are screaming though the music of today that enough is enough. We are human beings, not cogs in the great machine of the industrial complex. As we get buried deeper and deeper beneath the insensitive, uncaring excrement of the corporate entity our need for rebellion gets harder and harder to suppress. Music is humanities cry for recognition of our souls. It is our rebellion against the corporate entity that sees us only as machine parts to be used as nothing more than production tools in the manufacture of profit for the corporate [...].
