A la fin du 19ème siècle, la veuve d’un rabbin assassiné quitte la Russie impériale pour New York avec son jeune fils, Zalmie. Peu après leur arrivée, ce dernier est recruté par Louie, un artiste de cabaret burlesque. Sa carrière dans le monde du spectacle et celle des trois générations suivantes vont croiser la grande histoire de la musique populaire nord-américaine.
Après The Lord of the Rings, Ralph Bakshi souhaitait revenir à un projet plus personnel avec American Pop. Magnifiquement dessiné en rotoscopie, le film compile plus d’une cinquantaine de chansons de 1930 à 1980, issues de tous les genres musicaux.

In Imperial Russia during the late 19th century, the widow of an assassinated rabbi and her young son Zalmie escape to New York. Shortly after their arrival, Zalmie is recruited by Louie, a performer at a burlesque cabaret. His career in the show world, and those of the three generations that come after him, are intertwined with the epic story of American popular music. Following The Lord of the Rings, Ralph Bakshi wanted to return to a more personal project with American Pop. The film is magnificently drawn using the technique of rotoscoping and its extensive soundtrack contains more than fifty tracks of all types of music from 1930 to 1980.
