( December 2015) Animation Animator directed the animated 'Den' sequence for the film. The film uses the technique of animation in several shots.
This process consists of shooting models and actors, then tracing the shot onto film for animation purposes. The B-17 bomber was shot using a 10-foot replica, which was then animated. Additionally, Taarna the Taarakian was rotoscoped, using Toronto model Carole Desbiens as a model for the animated character. The shot of the exploding house near the end of the movie was originally to be rotoscoped, but as the film's release date had been moved up from October/November to August 7, 1981, a lack of time prevented this. This remains as the only non-animated sequence in the film.
Release Box office The film was released on August 7, 1981. The release grossed nearly $20,000,000. Critical reception The film was met with mixed response. Review aggregator reports that 61% of critics have given the film a positive review based on 28 reviews, with an average rating of 5.6/10 and the critical consensus: 'It's, juvenile, and dated, but Heavy Metal makes up for its flaws with eye-popping animation and a classic, smartly-used soundtrack.'
Of wrote that 'for anyone who doesn't think an hour and a half is a long time to spend with a comic book, 'Heavy Metal' is impressive,' and noted that the film 'was scored very well, with music much less ear-splitting than the title would suggest.' Declared, 'Initial segments have a boisterous blend of dynamic graphics, intriguing plot premises and sly wit that unfortunately slide gradually downhill. Still, the net effect is an overridingly positive one and will likely find its way into upbeat word-of-mouth.' Of the gave the film three stars, writing that it 'isn't intended for close scrutiny on a literal level.

The film clearly is intended as a trip, and on that level it works very nicely.' He did, however, criticize the film as 'blatantly sexist' and for having 'wildly romanticized' violence. Of the wrote, 'Somehow a great deal of the charm of the magazine leaked out on the way to the movie house, but all of the sadism stayed put. And then some. It's the most expensive adolescent fantasy revenge fulfillment wet dream ever to slither onto a screen.'
Boo Browning of called the film 'dismally bad,' and John Pym of found that it was 'to put it mildly, something of a hodge-podge.' Of criticized the film for having what he called 'some of the most gratuitous violence since kids picked the wings off flies,' and added that 'The one good thing about Heavy Metal is that it eventually ends and will never be seen again—unless one happens to be tied to a chair in front of a TV years from now.' Film historian and critic gave the film 3 stars out of 4 in his Movie Guide, calling the feature '.uneven, but great fun on a mindless, adolescent level.' Home media.
