Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

janerin-50685 I love this movie. What can I say? Well, I can't say it's exempt from criticism; the film has its flaws, both technically and chronologicaly, but it's enjoyable, at least, for me. Plus, the score is pretty good. "You're the only girl (I've ever really loved)" is a beautiful song; it really sets the mood for a movie about the city, the grimy life of Fritz as a college student, experimentation with sex and drugs, ect, and all while keeping with an early 40s type jazz sound. The other tracks are great too, especially the opening track, although the lyrics are a bit cheesy (but it's still fun and brings back some Janis Joplin esc vibes with it). The overall plot of the movie is blurry and is more of a mash up of different scenes and arcs from the original comics by Robert Crumb, but if you're looking for something sarcastic and offensive with a psychedelic twist, this one is for you. That being said, the film is not perfect and, in some ways, dated by it's politics and social commentary, so it must be viewed through the lenses of the time period in which it was made, as well as with context from the original comics. On a side note, I've heard people theorize that this movie influenced furries and furry culture. Hm.

johnny-burgundy Fritz the Cat (1972) This is an adult animated comedy based on the Fritz the Cat comic strips by Robert Crumb. It was the first animated feature film to get an X rating in the United States. It stars a cat in mid-1960s New York City who explores the issues of hedonism, race relations, the free love movement, and left- and right-wing politics. The movie was controversial for its rating and content. Many viewers at the time found to be unsavory. The film opened to a limited release, but went on to become a worldwide hit. Its success led to a good deal of other X-rated animated films and a sequel. The critical reaction was mixed, but generally positive. The film is widely noted for its innovation, featuring content that had not been portrayed in animation before, such as sexuality and violence. It was the inception of modern day adult animation. We would not likely enjoy South Park, Family Guy, or most of the Adult Swim roster without this film.

Hitchcoc I was in college when this film was released. There was lots of talk of this racy animated film. Apparently, it had it's foundation in an underground comic strip. Because I was never really ingrained in the counterculture (though I supported much of what they were doing), I didn't understand some of the issues very well. Having seen it a couple times as an adult, I know that it must have been groundbreaking for its content and its portrayals of various stereotypical beings, pigs as cops, crows as blacks, and so on. The problem for me is that I found it disjointed and, I'm sorry to say, pretty boring. The last time I watched it I sort of wondered what all the fuss was about. I suppose it has to do with an "anything goes" culture we live in now. Nevertheless, it is an interesting period piece, representing a turbulent time.

FilmCriticLalitRao American animation film 'Fritz the Cat' is special as it breaks a lot of taboos associated with animation films especially cartoons. It is considered to be one of the most popular X rated cartoon as it holds the record of being one of the first cartoons to depict physical intimacy among animated characters. If it is the depiction of sex scenes which gave it an X rating then there are other elements too which make 'Fritz the cat' a meaningful film. One has to just watch how Fritz the Cat talks animatedly about black people, war, peace, Arab- Israel conflict, riots and Jewish religion. The depiction of animals in animation cinema is something which needs to be closely observed in order to understand how their portrayal exerts tremendous influence on human beings. This is one reason why we have Mickey Mouse and other cartoon characters who continue to influence the way children look at animation especially cartoons. It is no secret that cartoons are also considered to be healthy entertainment as they convey a lot of innocence with notions of something sacred which needs to be respected.
