olmaceSep 14, 2016I still don't know what to make of this, clearly a work from a distinct point of view, with something to say about privileged liberals for whom life is essentially a game (or a cartoon) but never actually feels that way to them. Like Fritz himself, though, this tends to get…

Bakshi takes Crumb's vulgar, satirical attempt to bring the early hand-drawn animation of the 30s/40s into the psychedelic, politically/sexually-liberated, post-MAD Magazine counter-cultural 60s with mixed results. On the one hand, it certainly breaks the formal and genre…

Ralph Bakshi gathered retired animators from all over the world to work on his 1972 film, misleadingly billed as the first feature-length cartoon for adults. The results, inevitably, were disappointing; Bakshi just didn't have the money to make it right.
