Movie Reviews of Rock and Rule
Movie Review: A good rarity to own but.....
Summary: 4 Stars
Having long, long wanting this movie. It is indeed a very rare and exceptional movie. A most unique and very hard to find item if your searching for it through conventional methods. I am very thankfull I was able to find it here.
The movie itself is fine to watch and still one of the best Canadian made animated features of all time, to ever be produced and would be near impossible to repeat in my own opinion.
However that being said I do have much reservations about the condition of the movie itself. Which has been poorly treated since it was found where ever it was. A very large lacluster attempt at restoring the images to thier pristine originality is flawed. Which was the biggest dissapointment for me in watching this. Any attempts to restore some of the old picture remain sloppy at best.
While still a good flick to watch and a must have for collectors. I feel this should have been much better treated and improved upon. It is much, much overdue for a complete digital remake. Improving on both the sound and picture quality and is also extremely overdue for a Blue-ray treatment to restore this wonderfull rarity to its original quality that makes it so worth its keeping down the long run.
Though I fear this will never come to be. I do not fault those who found this movie and attempted thier effort to try and restore what they could but largly failed. This movie remains the most ignored, unapreciated and left behind gem of Canadian animation. That it will probably go on being ignored by those at Nelvana and this movie so in sore need of proper restoration. Nelvana will do no such thing and leave it to the wayside of dust and decay. While they idioticly consider a reboot.
Four out of five stars. Still a good rare gem to own and watch but has suffered greatly and the greatest disapointment... the picture remains largly fuzzy remaining in dire need of proper restoration.
In summaration: Purely a collect for collections sake. Nothing more unfortunatly.
