An animated anti-corporate punk rock movie musical like no other, THE STOLEN LYRIC updates the medieval ballads of Robin Hood mashup-style, by transforming an epic 555 stolen song fragments from 129 iconic artists into movie dialogue.
This truly one-of-a-kind hybrid of an arty avant-garde protest film and pop culture fun combines the counterculture attitude of a 70’s rock opera with the sensibility of an Internet mashup video to address issues that are close to the hearts of young people today such as the social impacts of mega-corporate consolidation as well as income inequality and similar to the issues raised by Bernie Sanders in his youth-centric campaign.
Forget stealing from the rich to feed the poor: charismatic front man Rob and his rock band “The Merry” take from the corporate fat cats holding culture hostage and give the power back to the people in a rotten tale of brotherhood, betrayal, greed, lust, and general mayhem. A fearless tale that draws from the past to pave the way for a musical revolution, THE STOLEN LYRIC shows that when it comes to the greed and corruption of the rich and powerful, the song remains the same.
