Experiment gone wrong

[pasithea]

Last night, I decided to test a new idea. My experiments can be a little iffy at times, but I think this one went well outside the realms of sanity and I learned things that I think mankind was never meant to know...

I have two monitors and two DVD players... So I played 'Fritz the Cat' and 'The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat' side by side and.... Wow... The horror. What I learned is this: Ralph Bakshi's film was better animated, more coherent, less rotoscoped, and less offensive than 'Nine Lives'. Let me repeat that: RALPH BAKSHI'S FILM WAS COMPLETELY SUPERIOR. And now I must live with this knowledge.

LotR cost $7 million and was about 2.5 hours long.. .and he had to cut corners by rotoscoping because it would have taken forever!

Bakshi does make a good point about how anyone can make an animated movie these days, all you need is a computer, a drawing tablet and some good ideas. And he's right.
