Fritz the Cat


From the pages of R. Crumb... he's X-rated and animated!

 

"Imaginatively conceived, engaging and irreverent!" - Leonard Maltin

 

"Very rude and very funny!" - The New Yorker

 

"The world's first X-rated full-length cartoon." - Variety

 

Maverick writer/director Ralph Bakshi (Heavy Traffic) made his feature-length 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!
