SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Its lurid, adult-animation anthology format shares Fritz the Cat’s sex, violence, countercultural excess, and deliberately disreputable energy, while moving through wildly stylized fantasy and sci-fi worlds.
02
Why this pick
Bakshi again uses animation for an unruly, explicitly adult portrait of American subcultures, sex, drugs, music, and generational disillusionment—though with a more sweeping, melancholy emotional arc.
03
Why this pick
A harsher, more politically confrontational Bakshi satire, mixing streetwise animation and live action to attack racism, exploitation, and American mythmaking with the same abrasive irreverence.
04
Why this pick
This adult-oriented animated fantasia pairs classical music with sly, often bleak comic visions of modern life, offering Fritz the Cat’s anti-establishment bite in a more formally playful style.
05
Why this pick
Its crudely drawn surface hides a ferocious satire of censorship, moral panic, politics, and media—an appropriately vulgar descendant of Fritz the Cat’s insistence that cartoons need not be polite.

01 / THE STORY
In a New York City park, hippies have gathered with guitars to sing protest songs. Fritz and his buddies show up in an attempt to meet girls. When a trio of attractive females walk by, Fritz and his friends exhaust themselves trying to get their attention, but find that the girls are more interested in the crow standing a few feet away. The girls attempt to flirt with the crow, making unintentionally condescending remarks about blacks, while Fritz looks on in annoyance. Suddenly, the crow rebukes the girls with a snide remark, indicates that he is gay and walks away. Fritz invites the girls to "seek the truth", bringing them up to his friend's apartment, where a wild party is taking place. Since the other rooms are crowded, Fritz drags the girls into the bathroom and the four of them have group sex in the bathtub.
