Not Bakshi's worst...not his best either
4 January 2006
To much Nihilism in this. Despite the subject matter, they've could have at least had one sub-story end happily. Bakshi's obviously got issues with his father.

And I agree, where were the soul, r&b, and country musicians. I'm no fan of country, but they shouldn't have bypassed these genres.

The rotoscoping looked good at first, but then I started wondering why they didn't just make a live action film.

However the continuity was better than most films. It was painstakingly achieved it seems. The soundtrack was also exceptional. Great eyes and ears for the time periods as well.
