Just cost less and takes less time to make cgi films...don't have to hire as many animators...I miss full feature cell animation...its a dying art that isn't cost efficient in producers eyes these days...sad.
... i like to draw... and i have to say, if this style of animation were still in demand, i'd probably put forth the effort and start making cartoons or something... where did shit like fritz, heavy traffic and this go??
what is interesting is the history of this the production for this began in 1973 it didnt come out until 1982 and it was origianlly going to be like coonskin and heavy traffic but because of the CORES bannings of coonskin they had to scrap it and they did A LOT of changes to it and it only got a selected theater premier but this is a great movie and it SHOULD GET ON DVD
You know whats funny, about 85% of teens today don't know about star wars, how many do you think will know about great animation like this? Almost none so thank you Stevers80 for posting these epic films on youtube. You rule.
Ralph Bakshi was a reknowned asshole and intolerable to work with. The man was a hypocrite and a total loon. That's what makes him great. That he was able to pump out the creations he did, while being such a gigantic twat.
Not all manga is the same, have you seen Akira, Ghost in The Shell, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Grave of the Fireflies (Very sad and powerful movie), Ninja Scroll, Wicked City etc? which proves manga is not all alike and can have good quality animation and mouth movements instead of low budget style.
i think im gonna go on a mission and try to get all thes kind of cartoons on dvd...these cartoons are wild and crazy as hell...i thought Frotz the cat was somethin..lol
None of the Japanese have never surpassed Ralph Bakshi and ever will ... animation and story lines of this quality will only exist in the past, especially now that Bakshi is out of the game ...
Why is no one making adult cartoon anymore.....there must be a market for them. The closest thing we have is south park. But that desn't even compare to this.
Well in Japan there's plenty of adult cartoon movies from Akira, Ninja Scroll, Ghost in The Shell, Fist of the North Star, Wicked City, Princess Mononoke, Perfect Blue, Millenium Actress, Paprika, Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend, Vampire Hunter D 1 & 2, Golgo 13 The Professional, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (aka Warriors of the Wind) etc. and there's even a subgenre called hentai? heard of hentai?
Ralph Bakshi got his start working on Terrytoons like Heckle and Jeckles and Mighty Mouse... ooOOOOOooold school stuff. The stuff that inspired Anime directors... and it wouldn't hurt Japan and America to go back to their roots... I want more films like this and Royal Space Force: Wings of Honneamise and less films like Cloudy With a Side of Meatballs or Yu-Gi-Oh...
@Johnlindsey289 Urotsukidoji was banned in Australia so I've never seen it. lol
I suppose I can find a stream online but it never came up... thanks for reminding me of that title though - it looks incredibly well crafted like most Anime of that time.
Hentai itself doesnt have to be fkin tentacles and bestiality or shitporn or how they call it? guro yeah GURO s the shit that will fk with ur mind. there cant be a thing more brutal and apalingxD if u dont know what guro is I advice u not to look it up unless u want to freak out.or get a hard on if u are a SICK FKIN PERVERTED MANIAC.
I like most of the anime movies from the 90s and some of the recent ones some of htem are just badass and hinestly make good use of modern animation techniques.
I don't think Japanese animation is capable of the pissy, brutal, punked out 1950's reflection here - it's pure R-rated americana, great characters, great mood
Goodbye Charlie...Fuck this city! haha great stuff man thanks for posting this, wish i could have been around for this era of film, something tells me the time when movies were this well done has long passed.
do you think Japanese animation can compare to Bakshi's stuff? same mature audiences animation. I mean stuff like Akira, Ghost in The Shell, Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend, Perfect Blue, Princess Mononoke, Wicked City, The Professional: Golgo 13, Fist of the North Star, and stuff like that.
Japanese animation is great, but so is regular animation... its much better to compare the filmmakers, for example my two favorite animators are Ralph Bakshi and Hayao Miyazaki
Japanese animation to me has its hits and misses...But there have been a couple of animes that I have liked. {alot of criticized on Sonic and Kirby's anime}
What about Akira, Ghost in The Shell, Hayao Miyazaki's stuff, Grave of the Fireflies, Perfect Blue, Urotsukidoji, Wicked City, Ninja Scroll, Golgo 13 and others? good examples of anime done right Gag.
I havent seen What about Akira, but I do like ghost in the shell. Hayo Miyazaki is a hit and miss to me, but I do enjoy Princess Monokoe{or however the hell you say it}
You said pretty much the same thing on the 'Donald Fagen - True Companion' video. Are you on a personal mission to promote anime? And what does it have to do with Hey Good Lookin', let alone Donald Fagen?
@Stevers80 lmao yea, I love Urotsukidoji an adult anime but u cant compare tht to Fritz the first x rated american cartoon. lmao and ghost in the shell, mononoke,......WHAT XD
Agreed. I've known about anime since the mid-80's and it's sad to see how far it's degraded. It has become a commodity to drive up sales by pandering to the otaku, as you said. Everything is designed the same, the plot lines are heavily derivative and unimaginative, and they're not drawn nearly as well. Most of it is outsourced to Korea and China.
Well the old school ones are the best! i mean what do you think of Akira, Ghost in The Shell, Grave of the Fireflies, Hayao Miyazaki's stuff (Totoro, Mononoke, Spirited Away), Ninja Scroll, Fist of the North Star, Wicked City, Golgo 13: The Professional, Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend, Metropolis, Cowboy Bebop The Movie etc.? all theatrical quality anime especially Akira the grand-daddy of all them.
@Johnlindsey289 You always post the same list, but whatever, I'll play along. Akira - Exceptional GitS - Decent GotF - Dull Miyazaki - His best are Nausicaa, Totoro, Kiki, Mononoke, Cagliostro, and perhaps Spirited Away Ninja Scroll - Didn't care for it FotNS - Both the anime and film are great Wicked City - Never saw it Golgo 13 - I only know the first film; was pretty good Urotsukidoji - Never saw it LotO - Ditto Metropolis - Ditto Cowboy Bebop - Saw some of it but didn't care
BTW, I wouldn't call Akira the "Granddaddy of them all." Maybe it's your favorite but it's definitely not the first. As for hentai, I saw some of it and thought it was rather lame.
You fail to mention stuff like Urusei Yatsura, Maison Ikkoku, City Hunter, Project A-Ko, Dragon Ball (the original when Goku was a kid, not Z or GT), Ranma, Bubblegum Crisis, Nadia and The Secret of Blue Water, etc. All of the good anime is relegated to the past. Now it's all mass-produced.
@Johnlindsey289 What America considers 'mature animation' dosen't apply the same way in Japan. They never set any regulations on animation whereas America has been censoring it since the 1920s.
In response to your question I love Bakshi's animation for being so elaborate and wacky like Bob Clampett but realistic like Japanese animation. I like anime better when it comes to drawing style but you can't beat Bakshi's style.
Both styles were inspired by early newspaper funnies BTW.
@lordkremlore And Japan has art and animation culture is incredibly sophisticated, their directors and illustrators are as revered if not more than Speilberg or Cameron etc.
Ralph Bakshi is truely a great artist, all of his movie deserve a major special edition treatment, like Fire and Ice got by Blue Underground and Wizards by 20th Century Fox (it was not much on it, but it was quite something)!
Wow I have been looking for this movie for years! I never knew the name just recalled the beginning scene with the girl walking down the alley seeing the guy. Looking up Fritz the Cat stuff I found it. Thank god he kept the same style in each movie.
I absolutely love this movie.I used to rent it at the local video store all the time.I'm so glad I found it on here.The beginning scene is so classic.
Not the best of Bakshi but by all means a cult film!
Interestingly enough: the voice of Crazy Shapiro is none other than David Proval which Sopranos fans may still have in 'good' memory as Richie Aprile, one of the most bad-ass characters of the series ... :)
Don't forget that he was also Peace in "Wizards" and Richard Romanus who voiced vinnie was on Sopranos too. He was the voice of Harry Canyon in "Heavy Metal" and Weekhawk in Bakshi's "Wizards".
I've always wanted a leather jacket but when I saw this movie, I went out and bought one two days ago. I'm gonna get my hair in a pomp and be a greaser for Halloween.
Ralph Bakshi's films are so f*cking weird. But weird in a sort of "I know something that you don't" kinda way. But with Bakshi, it never comes off as pompous or egotistical, just sly, witty and just self-aware enough that it doesn't distract from the movies themselves.
Did that make any sense? Probably not. Or at least as much sense as Bakshi's films! It's a crime his films don't get the attention they deserve. The man is a living piece of history.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of this movie.

Not the best of Bakshi but by all means a cult film!
Interestingly enough: the voice of Crazy Shapiro is none other than David Proval which Sopranos fans may still have in 'good' memory as Richie Aprile, one of the most bad-ass characters of the series ... :)

Don't forget that he was also Peace in "Wizards" and Richard Romanus who voiced vinnie was on Sopranos too. He was the voice of Harry Canyon in "Heavy Metal" and Weekhawk in Bakshi's "Wizards".

I've always wanted a leather jacket but when I saw this movie, I went out and bought one two days ago. I'm gonna get my hair in a pomp and be a greaser for Halloween.

Actually, this was made in '75 right after Coonskins but was held up in release until 7 years later.

Vinny looks meaner than John Travolta. Almost evil.

It's the other way AROUND. This is how America had seen blacks and whites in the 50's.

Ralph Bakshi's films are so f*cking weird. But weird in a sort of "I know something that you don't" kinda way. But with Bakshi, it never comes off as pompous or egotistical, just sly, witty and just self-aware enough that it doesn't distract from the movies themselves.
Did that make any sense? Probably not. Or at least as much sense as Bakshi's films! It's a crime his films don't get the attention they deserve. The man is a living piece of history.

I owe my entire creative and moral and emotional development to Ralph Bakshi.

You're not the only one. Bakshi's played a large role in my life as well, and probably a lot of other people in here as well.
