Shit, Bakshi was everything in the '80s. We recently subjected my daughter to The Secret of Nimh and that dude is fuckin' weird. It occurs to me that we basically traded the Disney/Bakshi duopoly for Disney/Dreamworks and culture is definitely worse off for it. For the record, Bakshi had nothing to do with Heavy Metal. He had everything to do with Rock & Rule, which is somehow weirder.
Welll sheeeeeit. Heavy Metal wasn't Bakshi after all. My childhood is ruined. (Or, misinformed.) That rotoscoping of the mob scene from LOTR was - in my head - from the Heavy Metal movie, with Black Sabbath's "Mob Rules" behind it: All my childhood memories are seeping together into one primordial soup...
