Heavy Metal

Ivan Reitman
Heavy Metal
1981

Big metaphysical concept. Big soundtrack. Big-name animators. Big bazooms.

Featuring a voice cast of soon-to-be-famous Second City comedy greats (Joe Flaherty, John Candy, Eugene Levy), Heavy Metal is a shining green light in the pre-Aeon Flux adult-animation void -- sloppy, dumb, loud, and did we mention "big?"
