With lively music provided by Graham Gouldman, the film is very different to other cartoons, being more of a drama-comedy than cartoon.[/PLOT][/MOVIE][/CONTAINER][DOUBLEPOST=1391917137,1391916960][/DOUBLEPOST]The director of this 80's animated film went on to create Tron, and one of the animators was Brad Bird of Pixar fame.

Watched way too much of this one as well when I was younger. Trying to track down a copy for my kids.
The animation is quite amazing.

Good luck, I heard they lost a lot of the original sound tapes to the movie in the big fire that tore through one of the major studio backlots in the 90's. That's why there's never been a remastered release of the movie since the 80's.

Try this.

Be aware that this is the german region 2 PAL DVD with english and german audio and subs. But you shouldn't have a problem playing one of those nowadays.

Its also on youtube. Some damn trippy animation sequences, great film!
