I'm personally a huuuge fan of the guy, though I can see how the crudeness of his movies can be a turn off. Glad to see threads popping up about him out of nowhere recently.

This movie was alright, represents mutt america in pretty neat way

I wanna fuck that thicc fairy

They're interesting but incredibly unfocused.

Rated PG.

idk i was gonna watch it this week or next week

I respect Bakshi but all of his movies are horribly flawed for one reason or another

"no"

Fritz the Cat is a bit of a dumpster fire, but I enjoy it for what it is. Never watched his other stuff, and I don't care for the rotoscoping.

Very accurate

His movies are flawed masterpieces and a neat looking-glass in to America in the late sixties and early seventies. His later works get poorer and poorer as he steadily tries to go more establishment and continually gets fucked hard by suits, but his early stuff will always be personal favorites of mine.

His movies are flawed, but fun. They're an acquired taste and while I can see where others would be turned off, I love his way of blending cartoonishness with crude vulgarity.

they're pretty fucking boring if you're trying to do anything other than look at the animation

I have a lot of respect for him. He's the type of guy that made his name simply by never quitting on his projects. His movies themselves I enjoy, though I can acknowledge that he's had some real turds like Cool World and LOTR.

I love his designs sometimes, and Coonskin makes me really wish he had made porn

He's kind of right though, the guy is clearly talented and knows his shit, but not everything he comes up with works.

I wouldn't say horribly flawed though.

Interesting as cultural time capsules, but they don't really hold up.

A product of their time that is... Neat!

>listen to Bakshi's commentary track
>he openly lusts after her

What a perverted old man. /ourguy/

What? What does he say?

Underrated, but he killed action cartoons by bringing about the creator-driven revolution and making it so toy commercials didn't get airtime anymore.

I admire him and his work.
His style might be too extreme for my tastes,
but that makes his work all the more memorable.
What really inspires me is that he was his own man who wanted to make something different,
instead of being pressured to do what everybody else did.
It's a shame his professional career didn't end on his terms though.

bump

I like his work a lot but he can be really inconsistent at times. Coonskin and Heavy Traffic are definitely my favorite films of his and are probably the most consistent ones made by Bakshi. Here's a hot opinion though, I thought Wizards kind of sucked. It was a complete mess tonally, the animation was really sub-par, and people only really remember Fritz or the ending. It seems to get a lot of love on Sup Forums for some reason which is part of the reason why I found it so disappointing.

Dude! Thank you so much for sharing this!

Oh yes, nigga. Have some behind the scenes.

>Make a sexy character
>ho no, he think she is sexy! so perverted!!

>hate rotoscoping
>become infamous for rotoscoping

KINO

I love every single animation he made. Thank GOD we have Bakshi

...

".........Fuuuuuck-You."

I really love the diverse sexy women he draws. A lot of artists can only draw the same type, but he makes them look distinct yet appealing.

I hated his deadbeat dad

>Marry a Catholic, they said. They don't get divorced.

Was the heavy traffic protagonist the average Sup Forums user personified?

Cool World may be a mess of a movie, but Gabriel Byrne got to fuck a cartoon in it. In that moment, he lived the dream. For that, Bakshi is a hero.

Cartoon Holli was amazing. Shame she turned into Kim Basinger.

Yeah. Brad Pitt had the opposite happen. Good looking as a human, ugly as a cartoon.

...

To be honest, Cool World wasn't entirely bad. I really liked the Soundtrack. It has that sinister 90s electronic vibe to it that really fits. Also the backgrounds were sick. Movie had style, execution was the real problem.

>Michael's dad flips his shit and wants to honor kill his son for dating a black women, but completely fine with fucking a trap
This movie, man.

I really liked American Pop. It did a lot of really unique things with the story telling and I liked the mixed art styles. The rotoscoping was pretty distracting at first but by the time Pete showed up I was used to it. Pete was an awesome character by the way, his style and that risk he took in the recording studio were the best parts of that movie.

ive liked his stuff that I've seen but I have to agree and say that they are almost always flawed in some way.
he was never able to really just do a real "classic".
not sure if its because he always had budget constraints or he's just unfocused enough.
Still holding out hope for Wizards 2

why do you keep making this thread OP?
also as i have ssaid before i dont think his works have aged well, they are important for animation history but thats it, i would sugest watching them to anyone who is not into animation history, they are only good as academic pieces now

I still need to watch most of his movies, but the ones I have seen I've enjoyed.

I genuinely liked Coonskin and Wizards.

And the first Fritz the Cat.

Weird movies. Products of their time I guess.

Coonskin had a god tier opening song.
