The animation made it so much more horrifying too.. My favorite part is Captain Stern, hands down; STEEEEEERRRRRRN!!! When they read off his list of crimes, I knew right then & there they need to make a whole animated series based on Captain Sterns travels in space.
Nothing beats the hand drawn medium of art. I miss this so much. To much computer aided art today for my taste. There is a passion to old ways of doing animation.
Heavy Metal and Fire and Ice are two of the best animated movies! I’m also really glade you guys mentioned Aeon Flux! I completely forgot about this super cool gem from the 90’s! I remember watching Aeon Flux on MTV’s Liquid Television along with the Maxx! MTV’s Maxx was one of the best comic book adaptations ever made! Even though he’s almost impossible to bring to the silver screen in live action, I would absolutely love to see someone who’s very passionate about the source material to bring the Maxx to life! As always this has been a great video and I look forward to seeing the next one! Cheers!
Seen all of these, love Bakshi's work, beautiful animation. Watched Wizards and Fire and Ice and Lord of the Rings as a kid. Nobody makes them as good as that anymore.
Heavy Metal absolutely mesmerized me when I was a teenager. I was so impressed by it that as soon as I learned it was based on a comic book series (for adults) I immediately started seeking out every issue of Heavy Metal I could find.
Your also forgetting that the 80's & very early 90's was where the Music Industry was at a HOT Point, too... So the fact the Music, Animation, & Movies were all huge at the same time, is really sad that people today just dont appreciate the ERA more...
Adam, I was you 6 years ago... Yeah I still skate @45!!! But my 40's went in a blink! I didn't even do anything significant. Our kid went from small to teenager but that's it.. fuck
These are all classics. With the recent success of Castlevania, I hope we get to see more adult-oriented content coming out of western production companies. The massive popularity of anime has proved that there sure as hell is a pretty big goddamn demand for it.
I had never seen Heavy metal before seeing that ref. I had to go find it, a few of these I have missed!! Shocker missing those first two mentioned growing up.
I remember the opening song being the Don Felder (Eagles member) song by that name, and Sammy's completely different song by the same name coming in the scene where the one guys mutates and tears through the ship.
A lot of the earlier films featured on this list used a technique called "rotoscoping" whereas they would film a live action actor and then animate over it, hence the smooth looking animations.
American Pop is probably IMHO one of the most Beautfiul films that Ralph Bakshi ever made, the story is compelling & the animation classuc Bakshi, as to the rest of this list,, it plays out like a list of animation I watched as a teen
@@thrashpondopons2776 Totally agreed! One of the most dramatic & emotion-packed scene.One of my favorite aspects of AP is that it shows the common thread of the music throughout the generations portrayed, I definitely make a point of dusting my copy of AP at least a couple times a year, it never gets old.
Wizards was a cool movie with some really hilarious moments. Fire and Ice is another favorite along with Aeon Flux and Spawn. I'm an old lady to have seen and enjoyed all these movies, but the 80's and early 90's were great times for animation. Wished we could have quality like that again
What! That was Japanese animators pushing the censor envelope, and Japanese censorship has some strange priorities to say the least. I think "Overfiend" nearly sealed the envelope, however. I believe it nearly got round-filed.
You guys went all the way back to " The Maxx ". That's one of my all time favorite comic books. I still own the first 30-something issues of this comic. Instant subscribe! Great list.
My dad worked on all those Bakshi films. He’d go on to do all the Disney Afternoon cartoons in the 80s and 90s but I’d always joke around with him saying he’d always ultimately be best known for his Bakshi films. I’m really glad people still watch those 70’s movies. Wizards being my favorite.
Christ,where the hell have I been all these years?!😳How have I never even heard about half of these films?Thanks so much for this amazing film list,and I'm definitely going to check some of these out.😉
Okay, it's been five months. Have you managed to find and watch any of these? LOL If you are into music, you have to see "American Pop", fabulous story! "Heavy Metal" is like the crown jewel of Bakshi's work, in my opinion. It has fabulous animation, story, and music.✌😸
Love Heavy Metal, there’s never been anything like it, they tried with Heavy Metal 2000 but it pales to comparison. Also love Fire and Ice, Spawn and Aeon Flux.
Awesome list. I know I've only discovered a few of these over the last few years thanks to RUclips recommendations, but Fire & Ice and Gandahar were some crazy watches. I'm really glad I discovered those. It's also cool to just see you guys lump movies AND TV shows together, so you could talk up some of those sweet liquid television cartoons like Aeon Flux and The Maxx. I see a lot of good suggestions in the comments so I won't be redundant and repeat 'em some more, but I really hope to see you continue this with more entries. Adult animation just doesn't get enough attention from people, and there's too many who only think of those hideous & cheap-looking [Adult Swim] style shows when they DO think about it (a la 12oz Mouse or Squidbillies or something). Stuff like this definitely deserves more of a spotlight, so good job doing just that!
Just make a list of all of Ralph Bakshi’s films. That works, too. The man was brilliant & ahead or his times. I wish that we could’ve gotten his version of “Cool World” but I also enjoyed the insanity of what we got thanks to his beautiful artwork.
Heavy Metal was the first DVD I ever bought. Only got it because of the soundtrack. But when the spaceman in a car is floating then starts descending to Don Felder you know you're in for a treat. That scene with the Locnar's bloody hilarious.
Don't forget "Fantastic Planet (1973)" a great film. Also, "Bambi Meets Godzilla (1969)" is a short film that almost made me wet my pants with laughter when I first saw it.
I love "Bambi vs Godzilla"! I recall seeing a short when I was only 5 at most. It was a claymation short of a guy garbed very similar to Eastwood's "Man with no name" character and the torso & legs of a giant sasquatch having a western style duel. Even more notable than the gun toting half of a Wookie was the revolver used by said walking carpet was human sized. I imagine the creature utilized a hang-nail in order to fire the tiny firearm. In any case, I have so far enjoyed zero results in searching for the obscure imagining. Are you at all familiar with what I have described? The "Bambi" short is only relevant because memory tells me I viewed them both within a very short time of each other, so I speculate production dates close together.
I loved The Maxx cartoon! I eventually tracked down every issue of the comic book because of how much I liked it. I've seen Heavy Metal, Wizards, and parts of Fire and Ice: you forgot to mention that a lot of those movies were made using rotoscoping (drawing over live action scenes).
What I loved about Aeon Flux was that a minor detail or action early on would often come full circle, like a butterfly effect, and ultimately end up being her undoing by the end.
Seen some of these, and am now curious about the ones I haven't. Great list! Deserves a part 2, as for one Beavis and Butthead do America is worthy of a mention.
I remember really enjoying The Maxx when it aired on MTV. I didn't totally get it, but I knew it was something special. I watched it again years later and couldn't get enough.
Saw Heavy Metal at the drive in, while on L.S.D. I own all of these examples and a few others not mentioned. Watership down, the Secret of Nyhm, Fritz the Cat, Rock and Rule to name a few. Heavy Metal, and anything Ralph Backshi did are unequivicaly the benchmark for all others...
Just three of Bakshi's movies make this list? Like the Underrated 80's Cyberpunk Anime from a few days ago I've got most of these on my home collection. I enjoy watching them from time to time the most recent being this month during the 2020 plague. Also funny thing, Æon Flux was done by Peter Chung who got started doing animation for Bakshi. Later he was working on Nickelodeon Rugrats when he came up with Flux.
Heavy Metal, Fire and Ice, Wizards - some of my favorites. First saw them in my AD&D gaming days. A bunch of us nerds would spend the weekend camping in the basement of a hobby shop, playing RPG's, eating junkfood in the shop fridge, watching fantasy movies. We were all young squids in tech school at Great Lakes Navy Base. The shop was "Dale's Dungeon" offbase outside Gate 22, 1980-1981.
I love old school animation style. How on freeze frame it looks so much better than modern stuff but when actually animated things don't quite sync up properly.
I only ever encountered a few issues of "Heavy Metal". My uncle had a few hanging out in some deep storage at my grandmother's house, one of my favorite places to snoop and pilfer about in. The only one that sticks around in my head is one that didn't even have a dialogue, just a series of panels. There was no confusion as to the story it told, however. It presented a woman emerging from a shower and drying off in front of a full length mirror. Her image emerged from the mirror and she proceeded to screw her own brains out. Despite such an interesting concept and beautiful imagery, I never felt more than a passing urge to delve more into the publication.
@@DOI_ARTS I forgot, a buddy managed to lay hands on one my senior year of h.s. This one presented a woman defending herself from her lover's cyber-dong, which became homicidal because I'm guessing she laid a bit too heavy on the shock-collar button her guy was wearing. The poor guy was already drooling from electrocution, then got toasted during his dong's lethal assault on his partner. Oh, I forgot to mention the cyber-dong was detachable.
You forgot a couple of them there. Your list was perfect and I nearly forgot about few of them that now I'm on a hunt to find. But you could've thrown Fritz The Cat and the amazing Heavy Metal reboot Love Death and Robots...
Being a fan of the comics I'm pleased to see both Spawn and The Maxx on this list, and I'm grateful to have a father who let me watch Spawn. I wasn't allowed to stay up as late as it was on, but he'd use my tape to record it for me. 😁
8. Fire and Ice (1983) 7. Wizards (1977) 6. Heavy Metal (1981) 5. Gandahar aka the Lightyears 4. Aeon Flux (1991) 3. American Pop (1981) 2. The Maxx (1995) 1. Todd McFarland's Spawn (1997)
Having been 16 yo when Heavy Metal came out I had to go see it and the big screen it just lived up to my expectations (especially the Heavy Metal soundtrack). On the small screen it lost a lot for me.
Great work! Maybe you're planning an anime episode on the subject, but I deeply recommend Satoshi Kon's work. The Maxx and Spawn... hope they did more of these comic adaptated animated series. Some, if not all, of the Batman TAS episodes are my honorable mention.
i forgot all about The Maxx. Heavy Metal was all too familiar. but Spawn was the thing to watch. collecting all the comics i could, trying to stay up late just to watch it on hbo. Lol
My mom took me to see Wizards. I was q years old. My mother didn’t know it was an adult movie. I only told her I wanted to see it. She was shocked by the language LMAO
Recently found the "other" Heavy Metal soundtrack. This one has all the epic orchestra music and no rock. The sad alien song when Taarna goes on her last flight still gets to me. I stuck the FLAC file on my phone and use it to setup friends stereos.
i have Aeon flux, the MAX, Spawn and Heavy Metal on DVD. Lord of the rings animated movie the hobbit and the last unicorn was kinda dark for me as a kid.
Yeah. The Last Unicorn. It might be a "Kid" movie but there were some elements that made it a mature movie too. Throw in Christopher Lee and the Opening theme and soundtrack that is almost as good as the one For Heavy Metal... Just amazing.
Most of this content you probably would not like, especially by Bashki... But there are few Bashki movies you may like, they are still very dark, but not overly dark like the rest of his work... There was 1 about future technology, 1 about rock & roll, & 1 about normal daily life i think... These were prob my faves from his work... I cant think of the titles names, though...
Love Heavy Metal! But so few of the current generation knows about it or it has been overlooked. When Elon Musk shot a car into space and news channels depicted how the car would look in space, people were impressed. But Heavy Metal did it years before! The sound track was one of the best in either animation or live action movies.
I really feel Heavy Metal was Bakshi's crown jewel. Everything about it was perfect; animation, story and music. I also love American Pop and Wizards, but HM was truly amazing and ahead of its time.✌😸
I came just to see if American Pop made the list. Thanx for not disappointing me. It rarely receives any recognition but I rank it as high as Heavy Metal in the genre for quality of story and yes, the soundtrack is unbelievable.
Aeon Flux was a series of animated shorts featured on MTV's 'Liquid Television', which was half-hour segment of various animated shorts (most notably the first appearance of Beavis and Butthead) from different artists and mediums. The Maxx was also a series of animated shorts based on the comic of the same name that was featured on MTV's 'Oddities', which was a half-hour segment of strange and surreal short stories, some animated and some live action if I recall.
Wow and I thought I lived under a rock called Christian Parenting. No really if my parents caught me watching any of these as a kid/teen. I'd be grounded till I was in my forties, Wait I am grounded and in my forties.

Heavy metal is still criminally underrated
It really is, love Heavy Metal
Heavy metal 🤘 and remember heavy metal 2 !
@@go-goakins1489 heavy metal 2 was too digital it should have been 100% hand drawn though I do appreciate the effort
People were expecting heavy metal to live up to the magazine
Still have ahem.... dreams about Tarna
The zombie B-17 pilots from Heavy Metal is one of my favorites.
Foo fighters, Zombies & WWII Airpower All in the same bit! Most epic vignette EVER!
Actually based on the ww2 vet animator’s IRL ptsd nightmares!
Great Don Felder tune in that segment too...
I still love the taxi driver story more!
But the plane story is a close second!
The animation made it so much more horrifying too..
My favorite part is Captain Stern, hands down; STEEEEEERRRRRRN!!! When they read off his list of crimes, I knew right then & there they need to make a whole animated series based on Captain Sterns travels in space.
Nothing beats the hand drawn medium of art. I miss this so much. To much computer aided art today for my taste.
There is a passion to old ways of doing animation.
I want to add a few more like 1994 Felidae, 1978 Watership Down, 1986 When the Wind Blows and 1982 Plauge Dogs
Plague dogs was good and sad at the same time but I like your list..
Might also want to include the animated adaptation of George Orwell's Animal Farm.
Watership Down and Plague Dogs are very fucked.
@@atanatokosmiki216 🤣🤣🤣🤣 yep
'When the wind Blows' was DARK! Try it as a DBL Feature with 'Graveyard of the Fireflies'!

A few more:
Fritz the Cat
Rock n Rule
Fantastic Planet
The Time Masters
The Time Masters is one of my all time FAV's
My add to the list would be "Jungle Burger / Tarzoon: Shame of the Jungle"
Rock and rule is king shit lol
Yeah how the hell was fritz not on this list? Great list btw though.
Someone else who remembers Rock n Rule!
Thanks a lot
Seen all of these, love Bakshi's work, beautiful animation. Watched Wizards and Fire and Ice and Lord of the Rings as a kid. Nobody makes them as good as that anymore.
You guys are a gem of a channel. Your content is unique and topics are just fire. Keep it up guys!
Heavy Metal absolutely mesmerized me when I was a teenager. I was so impressed by it that as soon as I learned it was based on a comic book series (for adults) I immediately started seeking out every issue of Heavy Metal I could find.
I just watched Heavy Metal a few months ago. For the nth time.
Man, I must have watched Heavy Metal 50 times at the least!
James Durbins performance of "Heavy Metal" on Americas Got Talent was amazing! (Helps he had Zakk Wylde doing guitars but hey 😎)
It can't be replicated. The art style, the tone. It just aches for a rewatch.
John Candy.
i have it on dvd, and watch it all the time.
I lost count
This is why the 80's we're awesome..
Your also forgetting that the 80's & very early 90's was where the Music Industry was at a HOT Point, too...
So the fact the Music, Animation, & Movies were all huge at the same time, is really sad that people today just dont appreciate the ERA more...

Hard to believe Spawn is 23 years old. Aghhh I'm so old. 39

Yeah I still skate @45!!!
But my 40's went in a blink!
I didn't even do anything significant.

35 here, still got the coomic books ;)
If you're old, then I'm.......older?
Shit..i'm bout to be 42! Lol
ONLY 39??? HAH! Wait till you get to be MY age! I'm 55 and would LOVE to be "39" AGAIN!
I was really hoping to see Fantastic Planet in this list. Blew my mind when I first saw it!
Still one of my favorite movies! The creativity of that movie is beautifully spectacular!
Gandahar is by the same person and really worth the watch, especially if you liked Fantastic Planet.
@@agitadora60 Thank you, I will have to check that out!
And I will look this up
These are all classics. With the recent success of Castlevania, I hope we get to see more adult-oriented content coming out of western production companies. The massive popularity of anime has proved that there sure as hell is a pretty big goddamn demand for it.
I love Sammy Hagar's "Heavy Metal" in the film's opening. Anyone remember the South Park parody??
I had never seen Heavy metal before seeing that ref. I had to go find it, a few of these I have missed!! Shocker missing those first two mentioned growing up.

Lord of the Rings by Bakshi is a must see..actually anything by Bakshi is a must see!
Agreed
Yessiree
Even the Spider-Man cartoon? And rocket robin-hood I'm so showing my age.....LOL....
@@peterhopkins4602 how about Hey Good Lookin!? Nobody really mentions that movie, and it’s phenomenal too.
I am also showing my age. Lol
Veteran of the Psychic Wars is reason enough to watch Heavy Metal by itself.
Hannover Fist. That courtroom scene is gold.
@@ChazTheYouthful I told you Charlie, I got an angle.
My all time favorite song
This movie was my gateway to Blue Oyster Cult!
They actually wrote a few songs for the movie that were not used! Think 'The Pact' is the coolest!
Another one everyone seems to forget, is "Twice Upon a Time". Excellence!
American Pop is probably IMHO one of the most Beautfiul films that Ralph Bakshi ever made, the story is compelling & the animation classuc Bakshi, as to the rest of this list,, it plays out like a list of animation I watched as a teen

Yes 1000 times
Ones I'm surprised didn't make this list: Starchaser: the Legend of Orin, Titan: A.E., and Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.
Was Starchaser the one were dude had the sword that would only cut machines?
@@BarbarosaAlexander Sort of. The sword was created by LIFE, and the machines couldn't wield it because there was no life in them.
Mask of the phantasm is hands down one of my favs since a kid .
If we are going with Batman? I’d say Year One, and Redhood, those two are insanely well written & animated..
Wizards was a cool movie with some really hilarious moments. Fire and Ice is another favorite along with Aeon Flux and Spawn. I'm an old lady to have seen and enjoyed all these movies, but the 80's and early 90's were great times for animation. Wished we could have quality like that again
Wizards is my favorite.
May I suggest EXORDIUM (can be found on youtube) and SPINE OF NIGHT.
Both very well done.
"Legend Of The Overfiend," from Japan. Definitely not for children!
What! That was Japanese animators pushing the censor envelope, and Japanese censorship has some strange priorities to say the least. I think "Overfiend" nearly sealed the envelope, however. I believe it nearly got round-filed.
Urotsukidoji
Another great list. I grew up with Wizards and Heavy Metal as mainstays!
Wizards, Heavy Metal and American Pop are my faves. Need to get them on DVD.✌😸
You guys went all the way back to
" The Maxx ". That's one of my all time favorite comic books. I still own the first 30-something issues of this comic. Instant subscribe! Great list.
The Maxx trumps' all these other ones in my opinion...
100% agree with this list! The Maxx is one of my favs!

I enjoyed watching "The Maxx" on MTV when I was nearly 16. Discovered the classic "Heavy Metal" in 2000 as well as its sequel.
Yeah I discovered Heavy Metal 3 months ago and yes I'm almost 16.
Just make a list of all of Ralph Bakshi’s films. That works, too. The man was brilliant & ahead or his times. I wish that we could’ve gotten his version of “Cool World” but I also enjoyed the insanity of what we got thanks to his beautiful artwork.
The Fire and Ice segment should of mentioned Frank Frazetta. A beautiful and captivating film. One of my all time favorites.
Heavy Metal was the first DVD I ever bought. Only got it because of the soundtrack. But when the spaceman in a car is floating then starts descending to Don Felder you know you're in for a treat. That scene with the Locnar's bloody hilarious.
Another list could easily be done about anime. Good list though btw....Heavy Metal is a personal favorite of mine....along with the soundtrack.
I frowned when 90s was mentioned as Classic, and old school.... Amazing list though Very Nostalgic... Also I feel very old...
I WAS 5 WHEN AEON FLUX CAME OUT ON MTV LIQUID TELEVISION . I HAD TO SEEK TO WATCH BUT I LOVED IT.
Heavy Metal! Never get enough of it! Spawn was pretty great also
When aeon removed the chastity belt at 5:36 and dude caught a whiff at 5:38 😅😅😅😅

There really was a golden window for adult animation from the late 70s to the early 80s. Spawn was the only later one that really came close.
I watched Fire and Ice countless times. Dude was like the first Wolverine And Heavy Metal is perfect.
What I loved about Aeon Flux was that a minor detail or action early on would often come full circle, like a butterfly effect, and ultimately end up being her undoing by the end.

It presented a woman emerging from a shower and drying off in front of a full length mirror. Her image emerged from the mirror and she proceeded to screw her own brains out. Despite such an interesting concept and beautiful imagery, I never felt more than a passing urge to delve more into the publication.
@@bignasty4874 I think she is Druuna
@@DOI_ARTS I forgot, a buddy managed to lay hands on one my senior year of h.s. This one presented a woman defending herself from her lover's cyber-dong, which became homicidal because I'm guessing she laid a bit too heavy on the shock-collar button her guy was wearing. The poor guy was already drooling from electrocution, then got toasted during his dong's lethal assault on his partner.
Oh, I forgot to mention the cyber-dong was detachable.
I love Heavy Metal. Great soundtrack.
Any animated movie made by Bakshi is gold by any standard...and I was still a kid in the '80s when I watched some of his work.
When I was teen I was really into heavy metal i have the vhs and dvd and soundtrack I loved the movie a lot
You forgot a couple of them there. Your list was perfect and I nearly forgot about few of them that now I'm on a hunt to find. But you could've thrown Fritz The Cat and the amazing Heavy Metal reboot Love Death and Robots...
Thanks for the suggestions will look into these. Hopefully I can find uncensored versions of these shows/ movies.
Being a fan of the comics I'm pleased to see both Spawn and The Maxx on this list, and I'm grateful to have a father who let me watch Spawn. I wasn't allowed to stay up as late as it was on, but he'd use my tape to record it for me. 😁

Having been 16 yo when Heavy Metal came out I had to go see it and the big screen it just lived up to my expectations (especially the Heavy Metal soundtrack). On the small screen it lost a lot for me.
Love your videos, I just wish you'd put a list in the description.
Check back tomorrow! :) They will be there.
@@MarvelousVideos Thank you very much!!
@@MarvelousVideos its after tomorrow , wheres that list. guess ill watch it twice and write them down :/
@@vollickplaysgames Lol
Thank goodness I watched Wizards before. Spoiler. First moment of the clip. haha
Cool video :D
Didn't you have one about conan rip offs?
Very relieved to see Wizards on the list!
Great work!
Maybe you're planning an anime episode on the subject, but I deeply recommend Satoshi Kon's work.
The Maxx and Spawn... hope they did more of these comic adaptated animated series. Some, if not all, of the Batman TAS episodes are my honorable mention.
I just watched Heavy Metal 2000 - was it as good as Heavy Metal? No. But it was still really fun.
i forgot all about The Maxx. Heavy Metal was all too familiar. but Spawn was the thing to watch. collecting all the comics i could, trying to stay up late just to watch it on hbo. Lol
Fire & Ice is awesome!
My mom took me to see Wizards. I was q years old. My mother didn’t know it was an adult movie. I only told her I wanted to see it. She was shocked by the language LMAO
Hell you can get the Heavy Metal more for the soundtrack itself and watch to hear the songs.
I have the "Heavy Metal" soundtrack on vinyl somewhere, I think. 🤓🍻
Ironically I remember half of these from my childhood. Also have Aeon Flux on DVD
How can you mention Spawn without Keith David's legendary voice!?! Good list tho👍🏿
Recently found the "other" Heavy Metal soundtrack. This one has all the epic orchestra music and no rock. The sad alien song when Taarna goes on her last flight still gets to me. I stuck the FLAC file on my phone and use it to setup friends stereos.
I seen them all and I have all of them on dvd My favorite ones is Spawn and Heavy metal.
Fire And Ice TOTALLY COULD HAVE BEEN PART OF HEAVY METAL. DEFINITELY WANT TO SEE IT
I think "Den" was a stand in for Fire and Ice. I have some movies to watch, and re-watch. Love Bakshi's work.✌😸
This is way better than Watchmojo's top 10 list for Adult animated feature films.
No Fantastic Planet (1973)? I thought for sure this one would be included. That and Heavy Metal are my favorites.
i have Aeon flux, the MAX, Spawn and Heavy Metal on DVD. Lord of the rings animated movie the hobbit and the last unicorn was kinda dark for me as a kid.
Yeah. The Last Unicorn. It might be a "Kid" movie but there were some elements that made it a mature movie too. Throw in Christopher Lee and the Opening theme and soundtrack that is almost as good as the one For Heavy Metal... Just amazing.

-Orc cadence 🤘
Most of this content you probably would not like, especially by Bashki...
But there are few Bashki movies you may like, they are still very dark, but not overly dark like the rest of his work...
There was 1 about future technology,
1 about rock & roll, & 1 about normal daily life i think... These were prob my faves from his work... I cant think of the titles names, though...
Love Heavy Metal! But so few of the current generation knows about it or it has been overlooked. When Elon Musk shot a car into space and news channels depicted how the car would look in space, people were impressed. But Heavy Metal did it years before! The sound track was one of the best in either animation or live action movies.
I really feel Heavy Metal was Bakshi's crown jewel. Everything about it was perfect; animation, story and music. I also love American Pop and Wizards, but HM was truly amazing and ahead of its time.✌😸
I came just to see if American Pop made the list. Thanx for not disappointing me. It rarely receives any recognition but I rank it as high as Heavy Metal in the genre for quality of story and yes, the soundtrack is unbelievable.
Wizards,Heavy Metal,Spawn are all my favorite
Druuna needs a film version!
I loves anime and manga and adult cartoons from when I was a teenager hope they keep making great manga and anime for adults way into the future
Never heard of most these except Heavy Metal, Todd McFarlane's Spawn (vaguely heard of) and I vaguely heard of Aeon Flux
Aeon Flux was a series of animated shorts featured on MTV's 'Liquid Television', which was half-hour segment of various animated shorts (most notably the first appearance of Beavis and Butthead) from different artists and mediums.
The Maxx was also a series of animated shorts based on the comic of the same name that was featured on MTV's 'Oddities', which was a half-hour segment of strange and surreal short stories, some animated and some live action if I recall.
Wow and I thought I lived under a rock called Christian Parenting. No really if my parents caught me watching any of these as a kid/teen. I'd be grounded till I was in my forties, Wait I am grounded and in my forties.
Shame on you!!☝️🤨
😉
I greatly enjoyed "Wizards" & "Heavy Metal" when I was a teenager. 🤓🍻
another lesser known sci-fi gem Fantastic Planet...is worth checking out as well.
Aeon Flux hell yeah. Kick ass in my memory. Bought the DVD BOX set
Only know of this show cuz MTV 😆
Spawn is the most awesome adult themed animated show i have ever seen!!
Fritz the Cat....awesome flick!
