The disk I hoped I'd get arrived!

"Fritz the Cat" and its sequel. The special thing about it is that both movies have German and original English audio, which was the version I was always hoping to get.

I've actually never seen the sequel.

In case you don't know it: It's a (comic-based) movie featuring cartoon animals, but its whole story is (actually slightly depicted) sex, drugs and (police) violence.

I don't consider it a "favorite", but somehow enjoy it.

Maybe because it was a cartoon with "porn" that got into cinema? Maybe because it has the lovely chubby cat? Maybe the whole theme is dirty and gritty, so unusual for a "cute animal cartoon"? I don't know. 😅

But I'm glad I got it on disk!

Fun Fact: In Germany it's 16+, not 18 / 21.

#FritzTheCat

I watched Fritz the Cat (1972)
It certainly influenced many furries in the past. Even its creator himself admitted in a documentary that he had a crush on Bugs Bunny, lol, and he didn't know what that was called. He was a furry and didn't know it. The movie is really heavy, controversial, and fun!

Fritz the Cat is one of the most subversive and famous underground comic series ever. In 1972, Ralph Bakshi released his adaptation of R. Crumb's seminal work to some fanfare and a lot of controversy, particularly from Crumb himself. It still holds as one of those movies you ask people if they've ever seen, especially if they are interested in this level of film from that era.
