FRITZ THE CAT / HEAVY TRAFFIC

FRITZ THE CAT

1972, Park Circus/MGM, 78 min, USA, Dir: Ralph Bakshi

Slapped with the first X rating for an animated feature, FRITZ charts the odyssey of a dropout tomcat through 1960s over-indulgence - humping, hash, hippies and Hell’s Angels - as writer R. Crumb originally chronicled it in his comics.

HEAVY TRAFFIC

1973, Park Circus/MGM, 77 min, USA, Dir: Ralph Bakshi

The roaring follow-up to FRITZ THE CAT, HEAVY TRAFFIC offers up another highly personalized view of urban America, this time centered on Michael, a down-and-out cartoonist drowning in the sounds of the city around him - pimps, pushers, provocateurs and more.
