Synopsis "He's X-Rated And Animated!" Maverick writer/director Ralph Bakshi (Heavy Traffic) made his feature-length film debut with this "startling and audacious" (The Hollywood Reporter) foray into adult content animation, creating the first x-rated cartoon and one of the most successful animated features of its time! Based on a legendary character created by underground comic book artist/writer R. Crumb, Fritz The Cat is a brilliant commentary on 60s life and a "snarling satire that stubbornly refuses to curl up in anyone's lap" (Playboy). It's the age of awakening and Fritz, one way-cool cat and NYU student, loves to embrace every experimental experience that crosses his path. Embarking on a fantastic journey of self-discovery, he indulges in everything from multiple bedroom follies to a wild joy ride through a dangerous Harlem. But when Fritz joins a group of radically aggressive hippies, he finds himself holding the dynamite that will detonate the ultimate 60s statement... one that could cost him his life!

Empire Review Frtitz, we hardly knew ye - 3 out of 5  (12/10/2001) By the time FRITZ THE CAT had opened theatrically in 1972, it was already too outdated to be a social commentary on the turbulent era of the 1960's it was talking about. Ralph Bakshi (Heavy Traffic, Lord Of The Rings) directed the cartoon, which starred Fritz who was already the star of hundreds of underground comics drawn by R. Crumb. The cartoon was the center of controversy because contractually the film had to have an X rating.

Fritz the Cat was made during a time when audiences where demanding radical change, yet the motion picture industry still was trying to hold on to its more conservative values. The movie was given a controversial X rating during it's initial release in 1972, which actually helped the film generate a larger ticket buying audience, and made the cartoon "...one of the most successful animated features of its ti   more >>
