My favorite director, hands down. I came up in the 70s, a little long haired freaky person from Texas who didn't think that The Exorcist or Jaws were very scary and thought more highly of Peter O'Toole than John Wayne. I was lucky enough to learn about him through the horror magazines that were popular with my age group in the early 70s. After I saw Wizards in 77,I began to hunt down every single thing related to Ralph Bakshi in my environment. When VHS came along, I was so ready to bootleg his stuff. The fact is, he is every bit as good as Kubrick, but his working in animation has caused him to not be taken seriously, and that is a grave mistake. His movies may be weird, gritty cartoons, but they are MOVIES and the kind of movies that have not been made in some time. I think that perhaps he has a soft spot for the 1950s and the tone of his stuff makes me wonder about that. Thanks for the video, it's nice to see that his work is appreciated.

American Pop is my favorite Bakshi flik. I'm a fan. When Cool World came out it got terrible reviews by critics. Because, on its own it's this bizarre mess of images, colors and plot elements. People didn't know what the hell it was. But as a Bakshi movie it makes perfect sense. All his films are strange.

I remember initially being mostly impressed by some of the lifelike movement of some of Bakshi's characters when I initially saw Wizards on TV in the 1970's. I had grown up watching mostly the limited animation of Saturday morning cartoons in the 60's and 70's. Only later did I learn that what I saw was rotoscoped animation. Oddly, I liked it less when I saw it in higher definition because I was able to notice the artifacts of one-pass rotoscoped animation, ie subtle lines that appear and disappear randomly. It seems that I am bothered by that sort of thing more than most people. Rotoscoped animation with a higher budget can go back and reduce frame-to-frame differences, like the disappearing facial lines, for example.

@jfess1911
@jfess1911 14 күн бұрын
@@Oddmanoutre When I rewatched some of the early "Out of the Inkwell" cartoons, the natural movement gave me some "uncanny valley" vibes. Many of the Fleisher works had high enough budget to avoid the frame-to-frame issues I mentioned above. Fleisher would often treat the rotoscoped character like any other animated one that had a relatively low level but consistent level of detail, especially for the face. Often, the faces were a bit stylized . This largely avoided the problem of features like tufts of hair, creases in the skin or dimples randomly appearing and disappearing. This often occurs with a "trace what you see" rotoscoping technique. Interestingly, I noticed a difference is the quality between the first Superman short and the later ones that had lower budgets. More artifacts creep into the later ones. Only a fraction of the animation is rotoscoped, FWIW. Watch "The Arctic Giant" to see a little of the appearing/disappearing creases on Clark Kent's face around 3 minutes in. This is is a great episode since there is a very "cartoony" dinosaur that contrasts with the realistic style. There is something that always bothered me with the faces some Fleisher characters like Lois Lane. Facial detail was low, but the bridges of their noses would disappear in frontal shots, leaving just the nostrils. Disney's Snow White is the same way. It gives me the creeps, likely because other aspects, especially movement of those characters is often so realistic.

There was a short film by Ralph Bakshi that I can't find or find mention of. At least, I'm pretty sure it was Ralph Bakshi. It was a rooftop scene where a weed was growing out of crack in the brickwork and a cigarette butt is being blown past it toward the edge and its presumed demise. The cigarette butt asked for the weed's help to save it but the weed refuses. The cigarette butt spits a gob on the weed before it is going over the edge. The weed starts to shrivel and die and asked the cigarette butt what is was that he spat on him. The cigarette butt replies "Cancer" and disappears over the edge. I'd really like to find this short film.

Before I went to the theater to see "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" I found this animated movie on VHS tape from Warner Bros. Home Video titled "The Lord of the Rings" which was an animated movie made back in the 70's and was based on the first two books of the series "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Two Towers" and was directed by this guy named "Ralph Bakshi" whom I had never heard of and so when I watched this movie I thought it was pretty good and I was also a little surprised that they actually showed warriors and monsters getting stabbed by swords or shot by arrows and that there was blood shown in the movie of course I would learn recently on Wikipedia who Ralph Bakshi is that he was a famous and controversial filmmaker who made animated films that blended animation with live action scenery and that his films dealt with social, political and racial issues subjects which are just as relevant now as they were back in the 60's and 70's.

Cool.World was the only Ralph Bakshi film I saw in a theatre and one of the few I walked out of. The "plot" got increasingly confusing and I just snapped and fled. It felt like the kind of nightmare that you might have if you were very sick---and not in the enjoyable sense and you're brain keeps screaming: MAKE IT STOP!!! That was my reaction to Cool World. I don't think I ever watched the rest of it whenever it played on cable TV. American Pop is my favourite. It's the kind of story that is best told through animation. The best section is with Tony, especially when he meets a singer who is inspired by Janis Joplin and maybe Grace Slick, but ends up like the former. The scene when ambulance attendants are taking her away after what appears to be an OD is one of the most emotional moments and is accompanied by Joplin's cover of Summertime on the soundtrack. Whenever I hear the song these images leap immediately to mind. I quite like the adaptation of Lord of the Rings. I know I'm going to get heat for this comment but those three books could have been whittled down from three to two, or one. I read it several years ago and it dragged it many places. Fritz the Cat was disappointing. When I finally got to see the first X rated animation film my expectations were high. It was amusing but nothing great or innovative. The animation was crude and uninspired. Crumb so hated the film that in a later Fritz story he is stabbed to death by an irate ostrich.

His movies were "hit or miss"; it depends on the audience. In 1977, I was in Airborne School at Fort Benning, Georgia. In "Wizards", when those German "Falling Hunters" started jumping out of the planes head-first, we went nuts! Even without that, it is my favorite animated movie ever. The character development, with surprising personalities, and the constant surprises and plot twists, made it a good movie; period. The others... not so much. "Lord of the Rings" tried hard, but the books are so detailed they just didn't have the money to do it justice. But the women were always nice, and the no-bra look fit the times. And it's easy to criticize the merging of live-action and animation today, for their short-comings back then. At the time, "Cool World" was cutting edge technology.

When I was a schoolboy about 20 years ago, I saw an anime on TV in which a girl made friends with a highly developed computer (and I'm not talking about Serial Experiments Lain). Through this friendship, she increased her own skills so that she was superior to her friends in almost all areas (e.g. math, tennis). There is also a scene in this anime where she gets her father (or boyfriend) into a car accident by letting the computer manipulate the traffic lights. As an expert in this field, do you know of such an anime and what it is called?

For me, Fire and Ice is the best fantasy animation ever created. It is so sad that we have no more movies and shows like that.

I'm really not tripping, and I get the crow reference. It's just a little odd mentioning the crow's race, I guess. lol Why weren't the cops white? That reference is just as suggested.

Perhaps I'm alone in this but I believe without his rendition of Lord of the rings you would not have Peter Jackson's because for years directors story writers in Hollywood and general said that there was no way that you could adapt Tolkien's Lord of the Rings masterpiece into anything resembling a cohesive film

I think modern audiences might have a problem with Fritz the Cat. They don't get satire, they'd have the same reaction to Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles. From my understanding Crumb was supposed to be involved with the production of Fritz, but as Bakchi normally does he stole instead of compromised with other artists. I'm not saying don't watch his movies, on the contrary watch his movie but also check out the work of the artists he stole from and pissed off. American Pop, that's the first time I noticed Bakshi. Was a great time for adult animated movies. Seems like you had Heavy Metal, American Pop, Rock and Rule, and Fire and Ice... I know i missed one or two good ones in that list.

R Crumb hated Bakshi’s Fritz the Cat… Even though Wizards had it’s moments it was mostly flawed by the (poorly done) technique of painting over cells of filmed actors to alter them, such as adding (poorly) animated wings to horses, animated features to actors to turn them into demons etc… made it look cheap and something out of a college film class… in fact most of the animation looks fast and cheap…the best thing about Wizards it had artwork by Mike Ploog and gave a nod to Vaughan Bode (Nekron 99 is Bode’s Cobalt 60)

This evolution has been nothing like positive (c). Well, if the generation of people who get offended by anything and cancel people for any rumor, tweet or Facebook post is positive evolution, then yeah, it's positive.
