Fritz the Cat Audience Reviews

ShangLuda Admirable film.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
coolcat01 This one may shock people but finally an Animal House for the Cat Community.
Eric Stevenson In a weird way, this movie holds a special place in my heart. It was the first film my parents saw when they started dating, not that my mom cared much for it. I'm not a fan of Ralph Bakshi, but I think this is probably the best film he made that I've ever seen. I do appreciate learning about the history of animation, especially the first real adult cartoon that paved the way for future works, even if it's not that particularly well known. So, as strange as this film and as sexual as it gets, I'm going to say I liked it. It's very reflective of the 1960's or early 70's. Two thirds into the movie we're introduced to Fritz's girlfriend. She's probably the most likeable character in the film, if only because I feel sorry for her seeing as how Fritz is so freaking promiscuous. The animation is really nice in this and I appreciate the voice work as well. It definitely brings up some interesting topics and it's unique and honestly it seems to hold up today. The pig cops are easily the funniest characters. But yeah, it's certainly not for all tastes. ***
Irishchatter I swear, some of the scenes would really laugh your a*se off. They can just be so stupid yet hilarious at the same time. I wouldn't even consider getting children to watch it, there's so much violence and sex. Even there's upsetting scenes where the crows get killed by the police pigs. It does reflect on today's news where you are a white cop killing an ordinary black person wrongly in America. I didn't like how they made fun of the Jewish people in this because it just didn't make it funny. Like what's the point? Jewish people are humans too like why do movies like this poke fun at religion? It's just not right even if this was a 1970's movie. It might be a good idea if there was less poking fun at religion, race and also women as if they were sex toys. I was surprised to hear that this is one of the "greatest movie" out there. I honestly didn't find it great but i have to say, it does get the message across. Lets just say, I'm not gonna bother with watching the sequel. I think watching this one was enough...
bendingtherules I admired the portrayal of women. Well done. What do women want actually? We are just vaginas and boobs with legs and arms and we are waiting for a guy to please us all the time, it doesn't matter who he is as long as he is a dude. We also share our guy with all the other women in the world because everything on this world is to please our masters. Men can do the revolution, we are not able to think about stuff, we don't even know what 'existential' means. Well, up yours Ralph Bakshi. This animation is just another example of superficial movies using 'deep stuff' to make itself look cooler or deeper than it really is. First of all, if you want to tell a story, you create one and show what you want to tell in that story, by creating a plot or using metaphors. You can't just shout the message directly. It is not storytelling, it is not a proper scriptwriting. I am sick of this kind of writers/directors using nudity and sex, or simply a couple of copy-paste philosophical messages and get all the votes. And most of the people just buy it and praise the show/movie like ' Wow, so deep. OMG, so brave. He is the voice of our generation. Great movie! ' . Anyone who is into film making will understand my point. There is no script, there is no plot or scenes that will help the backbone of the story if there is one. There is just irrelevant parts showing unrealistic women and their unrealistic reaction to penises as if they were playing in a porn movie, unnecessary sex scenes just to get attention, and copy-paste political messages that looks so detached. Just because characters shout ideas in some of the scenes doesn't mean it is a good/deep movie. Anyone can do that.And 2 points I gave were just the sake of the effort Bakshi made to make this crap.
