- In this episode, Siskel and Ebert review: American Pop, Charlie Chan and the Curse of the Dragon Queen, The Day After Trinity, La Cage Aux Folles II and Tribute.
American Pop is one of my favorite animated films. It hits the emotional beats so well.
Bakshi is now selling some of the stills from American Pop. My favourite movie by him and probably my favourite animated movie.
Siskel's opening summery of American Pop is the only thing accurate he said in that it is a multi generational story which is what I liked about it. Each generation is trying to break into the music business with hopes of being a success in it. The last one finally becomes a star. It is without a doubt my favorite animated film of all time, and worth a watch. Baski has a certain style that just fits this movie so well. The animation, and voices brings the characters to life in a realistic way in mannerisms.
As a musician, I have loved American Pop since I saw it as a child in the 70's.
Seeing AMERICAN POP on the big screen in the late 70's as a kid was mind blowing.
Night Moves, what a great tune!
Although I agreed with the guys about Bakshi’s use of historical needle drops:
“So, is THIS supposed to be Bob Seger, or…? 🤷♂️”
@@ericjanssen394 Right? Hendrix is Hendrix but I guess this guy wrote Night Moves????? I don't know.
5:35: lol, I’ve seen enough of these to know that Siskel gave this movie a thumbs down as soon as Robbie Benson entered, stage left.
Rotoscoped animation used in American Pop. It gives it a fascinating look. Nearly 26 years later we'll get it more advanced in computerized rotoscoping in Richard Linklater's A SCANNER DARKLY.
Remember the early days of Siskel & Ebert on TV Reviews on PBS stations.
... That's kinda why we're here?
Not surprising to hear of them disagreeing about the beat/beatnik era.
The final documentary the review sure has interesting narration. I can’t place the voice but I think it was used in the old cartoons
You are correct. That's Paul Frees who did tons of voiceover work: Pink Panther, Rocky & Bullwinkle, the Rankin /Bass specials among many others.
I forgot how long the clips used to be on SNEAK PREVIEWS.
I like American Pop and LA Cage Aux Fooles II.
Just remember The Gong Show Movie came out before Barris's "autobiography" where he claimed to be a CIA agent. He was ALWAYS performing, and he was STILL not very good at it.
I saw American pop as a double feature with Cheech and Chongs nice dream a few times at my local 2nd run cinema
But Siskel, how could you have a problem with American Pop? It's indisputably the greatest animated movie ever made and structure-wise, it has its fascinating moments. 15:02
You misspelled 'indisputably the greatest animated film ever made'.
Haha. No. HEAVY METAL is.
I LOVE rice pilaf.
American Pop baaaaadass
_Oppenheimer_ is in theaters, so I'm going to be watching Academy Award Best Documentary nominee _The Day After Trinity (1981)_ which got 👍👍
Before the thumbs?
Tribute was a tremendous letdown! Directed by Bob Clark who almost always makes bad movies. Rhinestone, Porky's,
Baby Geniuses and Loose Cannons among his many misfires. A Christmas story and Black Christmas were his only great films.
I liked The Gong Show. SISKLE WAS AN IDIOT. PLUS, HE GOT PERSONAL. LIJE I'M DOUNG NOW.😅
THE GONG SHOW TV show was great, Siskel was a snob
Hey Gene, the character Pete has nothing to do with bob. What a dummy
Holy hell, did nobody notice Charlie Chan and his grandson are doing yellowface? Heaven forbid you actually hire Asians for Asian roles. My lord, even the 40s films at least had the number one son be played by a Chinese actor. WTF?
It's called ACTING.
