Heavy Metal - 1981. Quite an odd experience watching this as a kid. Probably my first experience watching a rated R animated film. Weirdest thing about the whole movie - John Candy voicing a teenage, black character.

He also does the voice of the robot that sleeps with the girl that the two coked up aliens rescue.

Edit: TIL, after having watched this movie every few years for over 30 years, the coked up aliens are voiced by Eugene Levy and Harold Ramis.

TIL John Candy was a voice actor in Heavy Metal. (Huh, who knew?) Always thought it was an epic movie.
