“Wild animation, tons of blaring rock music, and fanboy wish fulfillment fantasies of the freakiest order. Good campy fun.” – eFilmCriticBased on the deliciously horny sci-fi cult comic, HEAVY METAL combines stunning visuals, hard rock music, and a series of mind-bending stories into the cinematic equivalent of one of those epic murals painted on the side of a ’70s Econoline van. In this booberific space adventure anthology, an eerie green ball magically transports us into a series of tales taking place in the past, the future, and the world beyond — telling stories of super space heroine Taarna; the hard-boiled exploits of Harry Canyon, cab driver of the future; and the adventures of Den, whom the green ball changes from an introverted teen into a macho hero. Produced by Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman, overseen by Canadian animator Gerald Potterton, and featuring voice work from comedy legends John Candy, Harold Ramis, Joe Flaherty, and Eugene Levy, this groundbreaking animation extravaganza is the ultimate preteen boys’ fantasy come to life.
Come out early for a pre-show featuring the quintessential Heavy Metal parody, South Park’s “Major Boobage” beginning at 5:38 pm.
Each month, DRAWN VISIONS presents an outré gem from the wild, wonderful world of animation. Focusing on the strange, the underseen, and the unclassifiable, this series proves cartoons aren’t just for kids, they’re for total freaks too!
