Fritz the Cat (1972)
6/10
It Was Actually Rated X
26 December 2016
I was in college when this film was released. There was lots of talk of this racy animated film. Apparently, it had it's foundation in an underground comic strip. Because I was never really ingrained in the counterculture (though I supported much of what they were doing), I didn't understand some of the issues very well. Having seen it a couple times as an adult, I know that it must have been groundbreaking for its content and its portrayals of various stereotypical beings, pigs as cops, crows as blacks, and so on. The problem for me is that I found it disjointed and, I'm sorry to say, pretty boring. The last time I watched it I sort of wondered what all the fuss was about. I suppose it has to do with an "anything goes" culture we live in now. Nevertheless, it is an interesting period piece, representing a turbulent time.
