Fritz, a college-age cat, dabbles in drugs, radical politics and hedonism, as he goes on a cross country adventure from New York City to the West coast.

Critics Consensus

Fritz the Cat's gleeful embrace of bad taste can make for a queasy viewing experience, but Ralph Bakshi's idiosyncratic animation brings the satire and style of Robert Crumb's creation to vivid life.

Variety

Excellent animation and montage shore up a plot which has a few howls, several chuckles and many smiles.

Chicago Reader

The results, inevitably, were disappointing -- Bakshi just didn't have the money to make it right.

Time Out

Despite some ingenious effects, a generally trivial exercise that never matches the punch of the original.

Rob's Movie Vault

Overall, a very of-the-moment work, more of a snapshot than a portrait, more of a calling card than a vision. Its X rating won it some notoriety, but by today's standards it's fairly tame.

Rated: B

The Spool

Fritz the Cat looks back at the supposed "good times" of the 1960s with a biting sensibility that scratches out the eyes of nearly every sacred liberal institution.

Gone With The Twins

There's something unusually primitive about the artwork and the character designs; it's obvious that the artists aren't trying to craft a visually stunning masterpiece.

Rated: 2/10

As interesting subtextually as it is upfront, 'Fritz the Cat' cements itself as a cornerstone in 70s cinema indefinitely. A particular aspect of this film that I personally enjoyed was Skip Hinnant's spot-on performance, that is the voice I hear when reading the comics.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

A surreal, vivid movie that doesn't have a connected story, but is full of clever satire of the 1960s with sex, drugs, violence and profanity. The animation is top notch, and some scenes have a rough, psychedelic feel
