Movie Reviews

Filmcritic.com - 8/10 by Christopher NullFull of animated, nude, cartoon animals and some of the most vitriolic racism (disguised as empowerment) ever put on film, Fritz the Cat is so bad that Crumb, after seeing the film, killed the character in one of his comics.
Variety - 8/10 by Variety StaffExcellent animation and montage shore up a plot which has a few howls, several chuckles and many smiles.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You - 8/10 by Rumsey TaylorDespite the curiosity it inspires, the world's first X-rated cartoon falls flat in its first ten minutes.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Vincent CanbyA low, bawdy cartoon feature that hasn't forgotten that there still can be something uniquely funny in animated films that exaggerate human actions and emotions (in this case, love, rage, compassion and, especially, lust) to the extraordinary extents available only in cartoons.
Antagony & Ecstasy - 6/10 by Tim BraytonA singular, cohesive, and powerful vision, but it's also an alarmingly toxic one.
Time - 5/10 by Robert HughesBakshi's animation is good, and the visuals—which marvelously capture the grainy, lowering look of the Manhattan streetscape—are raucous, ingenious and convincing. But Fritz the Cat is, for a cartoon, exasperatingly slow: Bakshi's sense of pace and editing is snail-like, and the dialogue mostly naive and muffled.
Chicago Reader - 5/10 by Dave KehrRalph Bakshi gathered retired animators from all over the world to work on his 1972 film, misleadingly billed as the first feature-length cartoon for adults. The results, inevitably, were disappointing; Bakshi just didn't have the money to make it right.
Los Angeles Times - 5/10 by Charles SolomonContemporary viewers are more likely to find Fritz the Cat a mildly amusing period piece, as dated as a Nehru jacket.
User Review - 10/10 by Jon MFlat out hilarious, especially if your, uh, "prepared" - and I ain't talkin' about 3-D glasses, people. Yup, this movie is for the less sober of us, the ones who rally to the NORML flag. I myself fall right into this demographic, and this movie had everything for the fun-loving stoner: trippy animation, jokes out the hoo-hoo, enough counter-cultural references to put Cheech and Chong to shame, and, of course, lots and lots of really high animals. Good for one of those nights when you plan on vegetating on your couch and just medicating. If you don't partake, though, I can easily see how it would bore you. This movie knows who it's made for, so just be prepared. You've been warned. -JB
User Review - 10/10 by Ken DThis is the classic adult animated film which made the genre more popular. Bakshi's work was really revolutionary and very cool visually. I'm a big fan of his work, and I love this movie.
