Anecdotes
Originally produced in 1981-1982, and intended as a prime-time TV special for ABC. The project was shelved after negative reaction by H-B and Taft executives to the film's graphic imagery, particularly relating to the 1960s and the Vietnam War. The film was retooled in the mid-80s, with a new sequence featuring classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon clips set to "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go." To date, the film has only had one public screening in the United States, at the 2nd Los Angeles International Animation Celebration in July 1987.

Hanna Barbera at it's higher quality

Rock Odyssey is one of Hanna Barbera's higher quality movies in terms of animation. It is fluid, well coloured and manages to bring various worlds to life. Of course there are still a few short cuts, like reused scenes, but compared to most of their output it is beyond impressive.

The story is mostly about the narration of an annoying jukebox over a woman's, Laura, quest for love across the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's, set to a poular sping from each era. It is notheless convoluted, surreal and meandering, perhaps representing the experience of a music video really well.

If you're an animation fan, it's a strong recommendation. But if you want something more substantial, maybe not.
