It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I swear, some of the scenes would really laugh your a*se off. They can just be so stupid yet hilarious at the same time. I wouldn't even consider getting children to watch it, there's so much violence and sex. Even there's upsetting scenes where the crows get killed by the police pigs. It does reflect on today's news where you are a white cop killing an ordinary black person wrongly in America. I didn't like how they made fun of the Jewish people in this because it just didn't make it funny. Like what's the point? Jewish people are humans too like why do movies like this poke fun at religion? It's just not right even if this was a 1970's movie. It might be a good idea if there was less poking fun at religion, race and also women as if they were sex toys. I was surprised to hear that this is one of the "greatest movie" out there. I honestly didn't find it great but i have to say, it does get the message across. Lets just say, I'm not gonna bother with watching the sequel. I think watching this one was enough...

American animation film 'Fritz the Cat' is special as it breaks a lot of taboos associated with animation films especially cartoons. It is considered to be one of the most popular X rated cartoon as it holds the record of being one of the first cartoons to depict physical intimacy among animated characters. If it is the depiction of sex scenes which gave it an X rating then there are other elements too which make 'Fritz the cat' a meaningful film. One has to just watch how Fritz the Cat talks animatedly about black people, war, peace, Arab- Israel conflict, riots and Jewish religion. The depiction of animals in animation cinema is something which needs to be closely observed in order to understand how their portrayal exerts tremendous influence on human beings. This is one reason why we have Mickey Mouse and other cartoon characters who continue to influence the way children look at animation especially cartoons. It is no secret that cartoons are also considered to be healthy entertainment as they convey a lot of innocence with notions of something sacred which needs to be respected.

I admired the portrayal of women. Well done. What do women want actually? We are just vaginas and boobs with legs and arms and we are waiting for a guy to please us all the time, it doesn't matter who he is as long as he is a dude. We also share our guy with all the other women in the world because everything on this world is to please our masters. Men can do the revolution, we are not able to think about stuff, we don't even know what 'existential' means. Well, up yours Ralph Bakshi. This animation is just another example of superficial movies using 'deep stuff' to make itself look cooler or deeper than it really is. First of all, if you want to tell a story, you create one and show what you want to tell in that story, by creating a plot or using metaphors. You can't just shout the message directly. It is not storytelling, it is not a proper scriptwriting. I am sick of this kind of writers/directors using nudity and sex, or simply a couple of copy-paste philosophical messages and get all the votes. And most of the people just buy it and praise the show/movie like ' Wow, so deep. OMG, so brave. He is the voice of our generation. Great movie! ' . Anyone who is into film making will understand my point. There is no script, there is no plot or scenes that will help the backbone of the story if there is one. There is just irrelevant parts showing unrealistic women and their unrealistic reaction to penises as if they were playing in a porn movie, unnecessary sex scenes just to get attention, and copy-paste political messages that looks so detached. Just because characters shout ideas in some of the scenes doesn't mean it is a good/deep movie. Anyone can do that.And 2 points I gave were just the sake of the effort Bakshi made to make this crap.

Fritz the Cat (1972) ** (out of 4)Ralph Bakshi's first feature is a X-rated adaptation of the Robert Crumb comic strip but with a 70's touch to it. Fritz the Cat starts off as a pretty mild-mannered guy but soon he's introduced to pot and free sex and soon he sees the world in a whole new light. It's easy to see why this film would have been a good money maker back in the day but at the same time it's easy to see why it doesn't hold up as well today. This satire of the 70's was probably very funny back in the day but when viewed today the majority of the jokes simply don't work as well as I'm sure they once did. Fritz trying to "find himself" is something that reminded me of EASY RIDER and I'm curious rather that film was any sort of influence on this or a target of this film's abuse. The movie contains some very funny moments that's for certain but they're usually spread out and very far apart. Some of the best moments happen early on during scene where three white girls try to let a black man know that they "feel" his pain. This here is followed by another funny scene where Fritz tries to outsmart the girls into having sex with him. The majority of the other jokes might have been offensive back in the day but I think most of them are quite tame by today's standards. The animation is certainly the highlight as I really liked the look of everything from the characters to the locations. FRITZ THE CAT certainly isn't a bad movie but I really don't think it's aged too well and there are actually much better "adult" cartoons from this period.
