The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat (1974)

That infamous cat and his twisted life are back! Staying within the tradition set by the audacious and racy Fritz the Cat, director-co-writer Robert Taylor takes Robert Crumb's way-cool felinecharacter from the boundary-pushing '60s to the harsh realities of Vietnam, racial riots and Watergate of the '70s in a sequel ripe with "pure silliness [and a] hip story-telling style" (Variety)! Fritz has got the post-college blues he's married to a mouthy wife who beats him constantly, and he's out of work and on unemployment! To escape his sad, nagging reality, Fritz launches himself into a psychedelic haze with a mind-blowing catnip that takes him to his eight other lives. There, he lives out fantasies as an out-of-this world astronaut, an aide to President Kissinger and worse...an orderly to Hitler! But as his star-crossed hallucinations put him on a collision course with reality, Fritz becomes a casualty just waiting to happen!

Bakshi Classic Does Not Disappoint

I saw a reference to Ralph Bakshi in a current Hobbit story, which referenced Bakshi's forgettable foray into Tolkien territory. But, I remembered the x-rated animated toon of my teens - the only animated feature ever to give me a partial, right in the theatre. Anyway, I got on Amazon later that day and bought Fritz and The Nine Lives of Fritz and allowed my wife to give me them for Xmas. My wife thinks they are puerile, prurient, and amateurish, but I still like them. I had forgotten that these were R. Crumb characters, which entails some hilarious, if not sophomoric social commentary on the pretensions of hippies and such. All the prurient scenes are of pets and farm animals, so if you get turned on, well, that's your issue to deal with, for me I don't worry about that and just enjoy these classics from my youth. You should too. January 20, 2008

A REALLY CRAZY AND SICK CARTOON OF THE 70'S!!! COOOL!!!!!

Man I love the 70's (that's the main reason that I bought this film), they also say that the first film is about the 60's but I DON'T CARE! I only care about the 70's!!

The reason for me that this cartoon is SOO COOL is because of the MASSIVE FOUL LANGUAGE!!! The drugs and sex scenes were also cool (but don't worry they weren't THAT intense but still sicky), the concept of making fun of politicians was FUNNY and the cool character desing and animation were GREAT!
I think that the soundtrack could be better but the movie still AWESOME!.

This film is ever WORSE than Ren and Stinpy, Heavy Metal and Meet the Feebles! IS SOOOOO SICK AND DISSGUSTING!! But I like it!! Because is from the 70's and everything that is from the 70's is cool for me!!! (I didn't know that the 70's was such a CRAZY decade).

WARNING: This low-budget movie contains MANY controvertial subjecs and ethnic stereotypes! But we have to understand that it was made ONLY for adults and it was made in a time of great political changes and war!

Adios. May 20, 2007

Nastalgic

Anyone that lived in the early 70's, can get nastalgic and remember the "good ol' days".......I recommend this for anyone that saw it then...and would like to remember some of the old times.....toke & enjoy! May 6, 2007

Fun for a laugh

And social insight to the 60's/70's. A bunch of funny, and quite crude and racially offensive cartoons, but still made with talent and good. Don't take it too seriously, though.

Heh, just would love to see the "Freak Brothers" animated, esp. "Fat Freddy's Cat"! Garfield should see it so he'd not give Jon so hard a time. February 12, 2007
