American Pop Movie Trailer

This was a 1981 American animated musical drama film starring Ron Thompson and produced and directed by Ralph Bakshi.^[1] It was the fourth animated feature film to be presented in Dolby sound. The film tells the story of four generations of a Russian Jewish immigrant family of musicians whose careers parallel the history of American popular music.

The majority of the film's animation was completed through rotoscoping,^[1] a process in which live actors are filmed and the subsequent footage is used for animators to draw over.^[2]However, the film also uses a variety of other mixed media including water colors, computer graphics, live-action shots, and archival footage.^[3]

The Lord Of The Rings cartoon version trailer

J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings is a 1978 American animated fantasy film directed byRalph Bakshi.^[4]^[5] It is an adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien's high fantasy epic The Lord of the Rings, comprising The Fellowship of the Ring and the first half of The Two Towers. Set in Middle-earth, the film follows a group of hobbits, elves, men, dwarves, and wizards who form a fellowship. They embark on a quest to destroy the One Ring made by the Dark Lord Sauron, and ensure his destruction.

Ralph Bakshi encountered Tolkien's writing early in his career, and had made several attempts to produce The Lord of the Rings as an animated film before being given funding by producer Saul Zaentz and distributor United Artists. The film is notable for its extensive use of rotoscoping, a technique in which scenes are first shot in live-action, then traced onto animation cels. It uses a hybrid of traditional cel animation and rotoscoped live action footage.^[4] The film features the voices of William Squire, John Hurt, Michael Graham Cox, and Anthony Daniels of Star Warsfame, and was one of the first animated films to be presented theatrically in the Dolby Stereosound system. The screenplay was written by Peter S. Beagle, based on an earlier draft by Chris Conkling.

Although The Lord of the Rings was a financial success, it received a mixed reaction from critics and there was no official sequel to cover the remainder of the story. Nonetheless, the film was an influence on Peter Jackson, as was detailed in the 'extras' of the DVD to The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.

Florist: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

by BOB BOILEN • In Florist, Emily Sprague and her Catskills friends sing quiet, delicate songs filled with vivid memories. "Vacation" is about growing up and learning about love.

"Like when I used to ride roller coasters with my dad
When a swimming pool in a hotel
Was a gift from God
Like, love, we're like a family
I don't know how to be"

"Cool And Refreshing" finds Sprague singing about the childhood memories that we lose one by one.

"Think of me by the creek in cutoff jeans holding onto
Something that has meaning to me
I don't really think my life will ever make me
As happy as Kaaterskill Creek"

These two songs are from Florist's 2015 EP, Holdly, while the band closes its Tiny Desk concert with "1914," a track from its new debut full-length, The Birds Outside Sang. On drums, you'll find a Tiny Desk alum in Felix Walworth, who was first here with Bellows, then Eskimeaux; all of these musicians are connected in some way to the Epoch, a collective from New York City. It's a creative friendship with stories to share, and its members' songs feel best in intimate settings, like a desk surrounded by old and new friends.

GHOST BUSTERS TV series opening credits.

The Ghost Busters was a live-action children's situation comedy that ran in 1975, about a team of bumbling detectives who would investigate ghostly occurrences. Fifteen episodes were produced.^[1] The show reunited Forrest Tucker and Larry Storch in roles similar to their characters in F Troop.

The series was unrelated to the 1984 film Ghostbusters (though Columbia Pictures did payFilmation for a license to use the name). Like the film, the series spawned its own animated sequel in 1986.

The primary humor of the series was slapstick, with scenes centered on the perpetual bumbling of the characters, good and evil alike. The series also made references to classic cinema; the names "Spencer" and "Tracy" were taken from the famous actor Spencer Tracy, while the name Kong – ironically not given to the gorilla – was a clear homage to King Kong.
