Rock & Rule

Rock & Rule (known as Ring of Power outside North America) is a 1983 Canadian adult animated musical science fantasy film featuring the voices of Don Francks, Greg Salata, and Susan Roman. It was produced by Michael Hirsh and Patrick Loubert and directed by Clive A. Smith from a screenplay by John Halfpenny and Peter Sauder. Centering upon rock and roll music, Rock & Rule includes songs by Cheap Trick, Debbie Harry, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, and Earth, Wind & Fire. It takes place in a post-apocalyptic United States populated by animalistic humans. The film was a commercial failure due in large part to its extremely small limited theatrical release by distributor MGM/UA, grossing $30,379 on an $8 million budget. Nonetheless, Rock & Rule has developed a cult following, with public knowledge of the film boosted by the Internet.
