Experiment gone wrong

Last night, I decided to test a new idea. My experiments can be a little iffy at times, but I think this one went well outside the realms of sanity and I learned things that I think mankind was never meant to know...

I have two monitors and two DVD players... So I played 'Fritz the Cat' and 'The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat' side by side and.... Wow... The horror. What I learned is this: Ralph Bakshi's film was better animated, more coherent, less rotoscoped, and less offensive than 'Nine Lives'. Let me repeat that: RALPH BAKSHI'S FILM WAS COMPLETELY SUPERIOR. And now I must live with this knowledge.

Nah. There was some roto in Heavy Traffic, American Pop, and Coonskin. Despite the tone of this post, I like Bakshi's films. I have copies of many of them. They're not perfect, but they have some real character and they're practically the only american animated films that were really designed for adults.

American Pop I know did, since it was post-LotR. Didn't realize there was 'scoping in those earlier films. Haven't seen them in forever.
