Early 1981 Mixed Reviews Moderate Acceptance – Directed by Ralph Bakshi – More – Language English Español Français |
American Pop American Pop is a 1981 American animated film directed by Ralph Bakshi. The film tells the story of four generations of a Russian Jewish immigrant family of musicians whose careers parallel the history of American popular music. The primary animation technique used in the film is rotoscoping where live actors are filmed and then animation is drawn over the footage. However, the film also uses a variety of other mixed media incluiding water colors, computer graphics, live action shots, and archival footage. Critics at the time noted that given that the animation and storyline depicted such a realistic topic, there seemed little point to it being animated at all.
