I do own this one. 3 bucks at Big Lots, ha. I don't care for it much though. I just don't relate to it or find it very... well... good. Like all Bakshi stuff though, it's interesting and worth seeing once or having in a thorough animation library, but I don't like Bakshi's lack of structure in much of his work.
Ralph Bakshi is one of my favorites. Great review. I really like "Heavy Traffic" a lot, but I'd have to say I like "Coonskin" even better. Probably some of the best voice acting in any Bakshi film, features a lot of the same animated weirdness that made "Heavy Traffic" so great and has a genuinely interesting story to tell. Too bad we have yet to see an official DVD release of it. Nevertheless, as a Bakshi fan, I'm really enjoying these posts. Keep up the good work.
Bakshi's films are truly "experiences". It assaults all the senses. You have to see his films more than once to truly understand them. Great review. I love the scenes with Angie and Ida, as well as Snowflake.
This movie has some weird shit. You got to watch it a lot to get the story.
This movie was the rise of Bob Taylor, Bakshi's best animator (who directed the Fritz sequel) and he animated that "free-for all". He also worked on Wizards and Coonskin.
at least with firtz it took me about 30 mintues to be confused this one just barley 2 mintues
