This movie is very weird Cats having sex, drinking with crows, dealing with racism and very cool animation, I have no idea what I just watched (:D) but found it very entertaining. THis movie is pretty entraining and weird but has a lot of good critique on america in the 60s and early 70s.
It's rough around the edges, that's for sure, but that doesn't mean it should be passed over. It's got something to say about the 1960s, and being made so shortly after the decade's end, the perspective is interesting. There's gratuitous sex and drug use, yes, but the animation and commentary (both the veiled and the overt) make this piece worth the 78 minutes of your time.
The animation is great but I didn't really enjoy it. I like most of Bakshi's other stuff but not this. I think the main reason is that I find Fritz to be unlikable and annoying. I know that he's meant to be both of these things but it still prevented me from enjoying myself. This film is generally regarded as one of Bakshi's best so it's probably still worth checking out.
Such a dumb, dumb, embarrassingly pubertal and (badly) vulgar piece of trash. If this was necessary for making cartoons "grow up", I'd rather had waited another 25 years for South Park. A fitting career start for Ralph Bakshi though, the least talented creator of animated pictures.
This deserves a critical re-evaluation. I expected something a bit trashy- but it's mainly excellent, albeit, adult satire; some great animation, consistently funny and surprising. Great fun.

This movie is crazy. I liked it. But it's definitely not for everyone. Probably best under the influence of your favorite poison.Torgo
