Rock & Rule (known as Ring of Power outside North America) is a 1983 Canadian animated musical science fantasy film featuring the voices of Don Francks, Greg Salata, and Susan Roman. It was produced by Michael Hirsh and Patrick Loubert and directed by Clive A. Smith from a screenplay by John Halfpenny and Peter Sauder. Centering upon rock and roll music, Rock & Rule includes songs by Cheap Trick, Debbie Harry, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, and Earth, Wind & Fire. It takes place in a post-apocalyptic United States populated by mutant humanoid animals. The film was a commercial failure due in large part to its extremely small limited theatrical release by distributor MGM/UA, grossing $30,379 on an $8 million budget. Nonetheless, Rock & Rule has developed a cult following, with public knowledge of the film boosted by the Internet. The American distributor, MGM/UA Entertainment Company, disliked Greg Salata, who voiced Omar in the Canadian version, and insisted that he would be re-dubbed by an actor with name recognition, along with several edits being made to the film. Paul Le Mat was cast and Omar's obscenities were written out. The prologue was also altered, giving a reason why the characters are part animal. Released through United Artists in April 1983, the revised film was unable to find an audience at the box office. It was this chopped version that quickly found its way to VHS and LaserDisc. Original home video release copies of Rock & Rule are extremely difficult to find. MGM/UA Home Video released the film on VHS and Betamax in 1984 and on LaserDisc in 1986. Both of these editions soon went out of print. Bootleg copies of the film ended up being sold at comic book conventions, but these copies erroneously listed the film as having been done by Ralph Bakshi. Soon after its demise in the home entertainment market, copies of the film could be acquired only by writing to Nelvana, who charged a fee of $80 to create and send a video copy of the film.
