Featuring the music of Rush!
The Body Electric is a rare canadian produced cartoon TV from 1985, directed by David Feiss. There are some really interesting details that set it apart from most animated shows from the time:
- A rockin' 80's soundtrack by Rush
- It was broadcast on TV alongside a simulcast in Stereo on FM radio so you could get the best quality audio. This was rarely done.
- Was discovered again in 2012 by dwellers of the Rush Usenet Group, National Midnight Star
- Atkinson Film Arts produced.. think The Care Bears and The Raccoons
The full popularity of canadian/american rock music R rated cartoons hit it's peak with Heavy Metal, Rock & Rule, Fire & Ice and American Pop. This entry was a little late, and super bizarre, but we can celebrate it today by watching it now on youtube.
