Heavy Metal is one of my favourite animated films, and this is my favourite sequence. I still find it genuinely scary. Take note of the very effective Elmer Bernstein music.

HOT HOT HOT. This freaked the shit out of me as a kid.

Expired in Queue (4 day limit)

So this thing expired, and was allowed to expire? This after I've seen dozens of moronic clips from daytime talk shows be preserved? halloween is coming up... this is a scary, classic animated clip... I am extremely disaapointed in the VS community.

Are you serious? *Pulls up sleeves*

Ballpoint press can you find a better quality source as well?

Such mercy Farhad, such humanity.

Thanks for restoring my faith. I will make a cleaner source myself.

Heavy Metal was one of those animations that I throw in the pile with those Lord of the Rings things from the 70s.

Heavy Metal was a unique piece of art and should not be put in the same pile as the utter crap that is anything done by Ralph Bakshi.

I made a new source from my own DVD. Enjoy!

(The "Bigger" link still goes to the lower quality version)

The animation style looks like it's where they would've drawn over a film of someone doing the actions. I reckon it makes it look pretty alright, I wonder why they stopped...

Saw it used in a couple of toons from the time, too. (Anyone see Fire and Ice? Now that was "HOT HOT HOT", exegesis!)

You gotta be kidding me.

The planes were done with rotoscoping but the people in this segment are animated freehand.
