YEAH
someone said the whole budget was used for mok's lips
and you know what? true

I REALLY BELIEVE IT
also it cracks me up SO MUCH that they were like "hmmmmm ok we will create a character that is a reference to Mick Jagger......... we're going to make his face basically look as Jaggery as possible............. y'know what I still feel like the audience isn't gonna GET IT so let's literally name him MOK SWAGGER"

I wouldn't have it any other way
if you were mick jagger would you consider mok a compliment, or an insult??

GOD that's a toughie because I gotta put myself in Jagger's headspace... at the time of the movie's release I think there was a bit of a creative drought going on in the Stones because of their infighting, and it probably felt like their star was beginning to fade as a result, so like omfg I would 100% take Mok as a twisting of the knife tbh not great

aw man that does sound rough! I would find it a bit insulting due to appearance alone
but the style is undeniably fun to watch~

I have and its amazingly animated. Its a shame it was mangled by producer medling :o

oh man
like every older canadian animator worked on this nightmare, therefore a lot of my teachers did.

^ the woman who animated a lot on this scene in particular was the worst teacher i ever had 😂

WHOA that's legitimately a Fun Fact, idk why but I just kind of assumed everyone who had worked on this was dead lmao I guess it's not that old/cursed
I'm imagining an older woman trying to explain Cindy's character to a class of uncomfortable students

holy crap, i think like, the director? or something of rock and rule visted our school once, the Cindy teacher was walking this absolutely ancient man around and introducing him to folks. but yeah, cause toronto only really does TV animation, the few features thatve been made there are immortalized forever. every 55+ year old in the industry has tales of either Rock and Rule or that brief period disney had a studio here to make a few sequels.

and yuppppp thats mostly how it goes over xD

What better time to be alive
Than when Mok does his magic jive
What a privilege it is to watch such superior lips

Remember when O-mar
Did that thing on his gee-tar

Oh, you mean be a complete ass?
He was the true villain! hehe

TRULY. I SWEAR TO GOD the entire time I was just like "aight at what point are they going to throw Omar off a cliff"

That's so weird they didn't make a French translation!! It's a Canadian film, you'd really think they would!

if they are all descended from cats, rats, and dogs, I wonder which he is

I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED THIS
WTF IS HE

wtf are any of them tbh wtf is mok

seems that sometimes animators like to give people an excuse for watching anthropomorphics, like "well this is sci-fi [Rock and Rule] so as an adult I shouldn't feel funny watching it"

Their previous film
The Devil and Daniel Mouse https://youtu.be/WHZTC1ljA84
is just furry full blast without explanation.

Oh yeah I've seen that one too!! I love that one tbh I love Funky Jan she's so good

I wonder if Janis Joplin was any inspiration for her.
Speaking of rodents named Jan, I had a pet rat named Janis, named after Joplin!

That flick was a trip and a half. It's like a sustained portal to the 80's.

It's so 80s it physically huuurtsss
