Fritz the Cat (Retro Film) (DVD)

THE HUGE SUCCESS THAT GOT AN X RATING.

285,000 MOVIE-GOERS IN SWEDEN!

The history of animated films can easily be divided into two eras – "Before Fritz" and "After Fritz." With its unrestrained elements of group sex, drug orgies, police chases, and left-wing terrorism, FRITZ THE CAT is a brilliant satire of the 1960s revolt, which naturally angered the establishment. Not only did thirty newspapers in the US join forces for an advertising boycott, but the film also became the first animated work in the country's history to be given an X rating by the censors. But all the fuss only served to fuel interest in the film, which became a must-see for an entire generation and a milestone in film history.

FRITZ THE CAT is based on a comic strip by the eccentric underground cartoonist Robert Crumb and was directed by debutant Ralph Bakshi. And what a debut! The film grossed $100 million worldwide – 130 times its budget!
