Double-bill of the classic counterculture animated films, based on the promiscuous, dope-smoking feline created by Robert Crumb. In 'Fritz the Cat' (1972), Fritz takes a trip to New York, where he hangs out with Black Panthers, Hell's Angels, some lady cats, and indulges in the psychedelic drug scene. In the sequel, 'Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat' (1974), Fritz takes a drug-induced trip and dreams about his other eight lives, where he is alternately an astronaut, Hitler's psychiatrist, and the pupil of an Indian guru living in the sewers of New York.

About this product

Product Information

Based on a series of comics by underground cartoonist Robert Crumb, this X-rated animated film brings a cynical eye to the idealism of the 1960s. It's a world where black people are crows, cops are pigs, rabbis are lions, and cats like New York University student Fritz (voiced by Skip Hinnant) are substituted for guilt-ridden white guys who want to be poets but mainly smoke pot and engage in group sex. After a drug bust by a couple of bumbling pigs makes him an outlaw, Fritz sets fire to his NYU dorm and hits the road in search of self-discovery. The crazy cat steals a car, starts a race riot in Harlem, and ends up stuck outside San Francisco with a group of sadistic revolutionaries led by a junkie biker rabbit. Through it all Fritz's pot-addled self-righteousness gradually gives way to a deeper understanding of life, but perhaps too late to extract himself from a terrorist plot. 'Fritz The Cat' was director Ralph Bakshi's first feature, and it carries many of his future themes ultrableak urban landscapes, cynically guarded idealism, grotesque sexuality, and raucously over-the-top moments of violence.

  • Cool cat

    One for the aging hippie (are there any of us left?) A blast from the early seventies in the style of Robert Crumb - Funny, naughty and outright subversive.
