About the Film
In 1981 the sci-fi, animated fantasy world was turned on its head with the release of Heavy Metal. The first adult animated feature required a thousand animators and technicians in seven countries in an era without computer editing, email, fax machines or cell phones. Historians labeled it the last film to reflect the sensibilities of the 1970s counter-culture and it is commonly acknowledged as the predecessor of fantasy gaming, graphic novel adaptations and for inspiring cartoons like South Park. Today acclaimed director David Fincher is preparing a 2011, 3D re-imagining - a radical contrast from the hand-painted original.
HEAVY METAL REVISTED examines how the first film liberated aspiring animators from politically correct family cartooning. Using rare archives, the documentary explores how it all began and where it's going, from the offbeat vision of its creators to the timelessness of its avid cult following.
