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.

Animated pornography. Nothing more.

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

Best! Movie! Ever! Do not watch if you’re a puss about drugs, sex, and extreme cartoon violence

Fritz. The cat is a great Ralph Bakshi film. I give this film a 9/10.

I LOVE FRITZ THE CAT!

This movie was funny, but very dark and sexually explicit.

La primera película de Ralph Bakshi que lo consagro como un nuevo artista en el mundo de la animación fue algo revolucionario que daría inicio a la animación para adultos. Desafiando ciertos estándares y dejando aún lado lo que la animación era en aquel entonces, Fritz The Cat es una película que refleja la sociedad de aquella época tocando temas políticos y sociales. Todo va girando en torno de un dulce gato universitario que solo desea disfrutar la vida sin límite y no ser otro peón más de la sociedad. Claro que a lo largo de la película, Fritz termina involucrándose en muchas situaciones y grupos en medio de una sociedad en conflicto. La película es una estupenda sátira que marcaría un antes y un después en el mundo de la animación, dando hincapié a muchas animaciones actuales que usan la misma fórmula. La animación es demasiado estupenda para ser una película independiente y cuenta con una excelente banda sonora. Fritz The Cat es una gran obra que demostró romper ciertas barreras y recibir una clasificación X es prueba de que se trató de algo más que solo una película animada. Fritz The Cat es definitivamente una de las mejores obras del cine de animación y la génesis definitiva de la animación para adultos. Mi clasificación final para esta película es un 10/10.

Having rented this movie as a teen 40 years ago at the local BlockBuster, I'm still suffering from flashbacks and require intensive therapy. This movie has changed my life and to this day, I've never wanted to have a cat as a pet and I'm disgusted by what may be going through cats' minds after having witnessed this animation. I hope nobody else has to go through the same trauma that I've endured for the last several decades. Would highly recommend it!

I kind of like this genre of niche explicit adult cartoons but Im really tired of it just being explicit because of female nudity, like i can look down if i wanna see tiddies, I don't want to see cartoon animal tits and vagina pls. One day I will become an animator and draw floppy penises everywhere and see how the men like it. Otherwise the animation is kind of nice but there is a r@pe scene which made me very uncomfortable. Kind of sad Fritz doesn't really have a character arc either.

It seems that Bakshi, working off ideas that he got from R. Crumb, semi-accidentally created 60's version of James Joyce "Ulysses". I'm not kidding, this movie, short as it is, still manages to tell a story of odysseic proportions, a journey trough hippie protests, crack dens, dormitories, black clubs, scrapyards, highways and KKK hideouts, but also trough social tensions, racial relations, sexuality, addiction, poverty and hatred. It's disjointed, muddled, murmured, rough and authentic, just as it should be. It's shines not in the main flow, main stream of plot and action, but in half-pronounced conversations, the chaos, the shape of the background, the ambiance. It's vulgar, just as Joyce was. Fritz, as it seems, is an universal anti-hero, just as relevant now as he was in 1972 and in the sixties.

"Bastards. You'd think the goddamn exams was the be-all and end-all of existence cosmic life force or something. You'd think they were the frigging fugitives. Can't even get in a few decent words to a guy. Bastards. What a bore, they just sit there and take bennies and stay up all night with their face stuck in a bunch of books and their thumb up their ass. Yes, yes, I remember the time when it was all very inspiring and enlightening, all this history and literature and sociology shit. You think learning is a really big thing and you become this big fucking intellectual and sit around trying to out-intellectual all the other big fucking intellectuals. You spend years and years, with your nose buried in these goddamn tomes... while the world is passing you by. All the stuff to see... and all the kicks... and all the girls are out there. And me, a writer! And a poet who should be having adventures and experiencing all the diversities and paradoxes and ironies of life and passing over all the roads of the world! And digging all the cities and towns and rivers and the oceans and making all of them chicks. Oh, God... As a writer and a poet it is my duty to get out there and dig the world, to swim in the whole frigging scene while there is still time, man. My farting around days are over, baby. From this day on, I shall live every day as if it was my last. I must do it! No more of the dreary, boring classes, dismal lectures, sitting around bullshitting with pretentious fat-ass hippies. No more of the books, the spoutings of a bunch of old farts who think they know the whole goddamn score. (Actually sets his stuff on fire) Oh, my God, what have I done? ...I set all my notes and books on fire... and now I can't study for my exams. I'll flunk out, and my folks will be pissed off... I'll get a blanket. ...the blanket's on fire. .... ...we better call the fire department." This film might be pretty naff, but some of its best scenes might be some of the best sequences ever committed to film.

Funniest and most controversial cartoon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A solid knowledge of the 1960's helps understanding the film alot, I really wasn't expecting it to have a strong message.

Ambitious in lewdness and commendable in exploitation of the late 60's/early 70's young adult societal culture, "Fritz the Cat" is an inspiring piece of debut film-length animation by Ralph Bakshi and his team that ultimately asks us the question, "What have we got left to lose?"

Robert Crumb disavowed himself from Bakshi's vision of his creation of Fritz the Cat in this animated movie adaptation. However it has gone on to become a cult classic and a time capsule of America in the 1970's, capturing the racial and cultural tensions of the time.

It's little wonder that Bakshi's art house xxx-periment caused such a FURor when the not-quite-skin flick came out: A half-century on and the outrageous film is still able to raise eyebrows, even if it's ultimately not as horny or on the fritz as CATS (2019).

I had only watched this movie once I believe that I watched it online on YouTube. I saw it in a book of underground movies, or it was 100 movies to see before you die something like that. So I watched it, it is kind of R, Nc 17, dare I say X - rated movie about a cartoon cat named Fritz. He misbehaves and it was very 70's some may be upset by it because it pushes the envelope and is a bit much. Not really worth a second watch there is also a second one if interested to watch that one for anyone curious.

too rude and worse than going to hospital

It was ok, a bit silly here and there and kinda racist (with all of the african americans being portrayed as crows)
