Fun fact: You're right, those background character conversations actually WERE recordings of random people in the street. If you re-watch the very beginning of the movie, you'll even hear Bakshi himself having conversation with some construction workers. Also, the audio in the Jewish synagogue scene is actually Bakshi's own father and uncles praying - it's pretty bittersweet knowing how much that one little clip means to him ever since they passed, he was so happy that he managed to save their voices and I'm glad he did.

Ralph Bakshi was originally gonna make it an animated cartoon Rock Opera with Led Zeppelin writing the songs and music. Mick Jagger was also desperate to voice Frodo. (Although with Punk and Metal dethroning Hard Rock and Prog as the dominant Rock genres, Bakshi’s ideas may have been a tad outdated) Almost everyone has long hair in the movie The backgrounds look like Metal album covers The Orcs look similar to the devil from Venom’s Welcome to Hell Album cover Pippin sounds like Jimmy Page Sam looks like a deformed caricature of Ringo Starr Boromir looks like John Bonham in a Viking suit at a Halloween party Some scenes actually sync up well with certain Classic Rock Songs. For example: With careful timing, the final battle of Helm's deep actually syncs up very well with Child in Time by Deep Purple. And when the Orcs chant at Helms Deep on the way to battle against the red background, it syncs up well with 2 Black Sabbath songs; Black Sabbath and Children of The Grave

Animation actually used to be almost exclusively aimed at adults. But once the TV came along and studios like Hannah Barbera started making very episodic and poorly animated shows, it caused the stigma that animation is just for kids to come about.

[@NavySharkz]

Thank you. Finally someone that knows their history.

[@ForeverLaxx]

@Myka Ruest Certainly hurt a lot of things, and not just American animation. Foreign animated movies, anime in particular, tend to do poorly here because the content is often "too violent" for children and adults assume an animation is "only for kids" so they don't see it either. Puppetry had the same problem and was originally an adult medium as well. Jim Henson sort of did that to himself though and he purportedly regretted and hated the "kids only" stigma that he created regarding puppets.

Remember actual swearing aside from "hell" and "damn", references to drug use, sexual activity, prostution and depictions of realistic practices of racism and police tatics of the period were considered cardinal sins on television and all media until the late 1990's. Yes there were animation that had stuff that had adult jokes and looked scary. Hell there were even cigarette ads on early flinstones episodes.

[@elvingearmasterirma7241]

One side: Makes it very uncomfortable The other side: Wants to avoid that uncomfortableness entirely Technically correct method of drawing tails on biped animals: The tail on an animal walking upright should be just above the asscrack, as it comes from the coccyx, more commonly known as the tailbone.

[@Lugbzurg]

This was more or less me watching Utawarerumono. Many characters had tails, but the tails essentially did nothing, save for one early gag in the show. Meanwhile, in the follow-up series, a soft reboot focusing on a new cast, called "Utawarerumono: The False Faces", the animation was handled by an entirely different studio, and they actually bothered to make the characters' tails do stuff, and add them as just another tool for the characters' expressive animations.

[@paradoxtatorstudios9681]

Here's one word: T A I L B O N E Avatar (James Cameron) did this right. His film had humanoid aliens with their tails in the correct place.

[@marshmallowmountains4636]

Fun fact: Ralph did record random conversation, but they were from his day to day life. The rabbi, was from his own father. Most of bakshi’s movies either took place in New York or talked about anti Semitic themes because that’s what he knew. He was a Jewish Italian New Yorker! There’s a channel on KZbin that talked about the life of his animation career! And gave me a newfound love and influencer!

[@SegaMaster172]

If Mystic Blue is talking about who I think they are, the channel itself is called “ElectricDragon505” but the person who runs and makes the content for it is called “AniMat”. He’s been on KZbin for about a decade so far and all of his videos take very in-depth looks into the history of animation’s biggest companies and famous animators. He also does personal reviews of animated movies and most recently, he reviewed the new “Addams Family” movie.

@@sarahlilly1745 Examine it closely and pay better attention. Is it *really* kid-friendly, or does it get just close enough to be passable for children? If it were released today, it'd likely be a PG or PG-13 flick due how the movie does not mince words about death and paints the Queen as an irredeemable abuser, villain, attempted murderer and accomplice to conspiracy murder (telling the Huntsman to kill Snow for her and even bring back her heart).

The best part was when my dad and grandfather left the theater and went walking around. There was a dude behind him who said "That Fritz the Cat is a FUCKIN'N FREAK!"

Those kinds of cartoons died out in the mid-90s, after Rugrats, Tiny Toon Adventures, and Animaniacs had their heyday.

[@WildKat25]

I think the reason the tails look like they are coming out of the "butts" is more to show that females are "submissive" with their tails constantly down and closer to the traditional "tail tucked, submissive position" that Society expects females to be. Also the females were wearing skirts, so it sort of makes sense to have the tail peek out the bottom edge of the skirt. I also noticed that when the females were without clothes that their tails would pop up and usually the female characters acted more sure of themselves at that moment their tail was in the "up position" like all the male characters were constantly at. When you look at the crow females their tails were ALWAYS out and in positions similar to the male crows. I think that was a statement on the fact that crows, irrelevant of gender, had the same amount of "freedom" in a society that discriminates against the crows. I did notice at times certain female crows were more dominant than the males and thus her tail was usually in a "up position" in comparison to theirs. I think the tails were deliberate, and were a commentary on the amount of "freedom" each gender had.

[@ztrb0820]

Seeing as the crowd are meant to portray African Americans it most likely is showing how different the gender dynamics were in black and white spaces, as Black women often had to take the lead in their households. Also the stereotypes of the angry Black woman and the Jezebel (hence the prostitution)
