Bakshi had just come off drawing Heckle and Jeckle and other early morning classics for Terrytoons and was looking to direct his first feature. No joke, Fritz the Cat was made for $850,000 and bagged $90 million.įritz the Cat was written and directed by Ralph Bakshi. But Fritz the Cat from 1972 was the first commercially animated feature film to capitalize on the X rating it snagged from the Motion Picture Association of America to sell tickets. Heavy Metal from 1981, South Park: Bigger, Louder, and Uncut from 1999 and A Scanner Darkly from 2006 had R-ratings. Recently, Sausage Party was touted for its R rating but, aside from the CGI tech, this is nothing new. Fritz tasted life to the fullest and, at the end of that picture Fritz the Cat, his heart cries out in this hungry, tortured, wrecked quest for more. This cat had riches and fame and adventure. He fought many a good man and laid many a good woman. He’d been up and down the four corners of this big old world, seen it all and done it all. Fritz was a cat whose soul was tormented.
