Yes, Rock & Rule is not super famous, but by no means is it unknown or anything.

I asked about this one once, shortly before the legal tangle unraveled and it was released on DVD by Unearthed Films.

Nelvana Studios produced it, trying to make a Canadian version of Heavy Metal. Debbie Harry as Angel and Iggy Pop as Mok, among other headliners. Had a downer beginning: humanity has wiped itself out via nuclear war, leaving the dogs, cats and rats to ascend to civilization. Of course, they get it all AOB wrong just like we did.

Nonetheless, Rock & Rule has its moments. Omar's Break The Cutie moment was nicely scripted. I'll watch this one every so often, just for funsies.

I have the Marvel Comics "graphic novel", which is actually animation stills with word balloons. I saw this on TV years ago. I was always a fan of some Nelvana cartoons.
Eh, wasn't Heavy Metal a Canadian cartoon too?
