Heavy Metal

 

         Through the years we've all had our versions of what adult animation is. From The Simpsons to Family Guy to even Archer and so far as Rick and Morty. Well, this one film I truly believe is the granddaddy of all adult animation, and I mean ADULT animation. To fully explain Heavy Metal, if you haven't watched South Park there's an episode where the boys discover cat urine can get you high then they Kenny is obsessed with a woman with huge knockers. Well Heavy Metal is basically that inspiration behind that episode, and to be truthfully honest I never heard much about the magazine it was based on, nor saw this movie until now moreover for good reasons because this was beyond anything I can expect.

          Short stories set in deep space or in futuristic New York. All of them have in common a strange object that has psychedelic powers that can destroy or rule the World.

           Again, if you haven't seen the episode of South Park from season twelve, where the boys discover how to get high off cat urine and Kenny becomes addicted to it, both creators used that. Moreover, I believe in an interview from Zach Snyder talking about his mom purchasing Heavy Metal comics from his youth, which makes total sense as to why he made Sucker Punch. Anyway getting back to topic, usually I would find some interesting facts or story developments behind the thought of wanting to make this movie happen and in all honesty, I really couldn't find anything to explain as to why this movie became a movie and why this would even be great idea to even make this movie happen other than Ivan Reitman himself gained a deal with Columbia Pictures to create an animated film and asked Gerard Potterton to oversee it, furthermore interesting fact I learned while looking up Potterton bio, he helped create the infamous Beatles movie Yellow Submarine, though I believe he was one of the animators but I'm just assuming that he was asked by Reitman to do this and he accepted because he made probably one weird animation so why not make another one. Unlike Archer where there's a mix of partial nudity and some nudeness, there is full frontal nudity with a lot of big busty chicks and full on animated whoopee and I can honestly there were no female animators involved with this and the guys who animated this film along with Potterton they were obviously have perverted minds and not that I'm complaining because let’s be honest we're all perverted when we look at women, dudes or even dudes disguised as women and you slowly recognized their voices. I mean it brings back a Dead or Alive fighting game where all the creators in Japan decide to make a beach party video game where you dress these female fighters to the skimpiest outfits to barely anything at all and yet the laws of physics don't matter, almost a secret sick world where you can be Harvey Weinstein in your personal room, and that's almost close to what Heavy Metal is really. I'd say watch this movie to discover how weird this movie is but you also need to come up with a good reasonable lie just in case your mom or your wife, hell even your girlfriend in case you forget to lock your door.
