1/10

Why, why, why would anyone, in the name of Lucy, want to even SEE a movie as stupid and low as "Fritz the Cat?!" I just... This movie is about as fun as watching paint dry for hours. That is how bad this film is, and I would be happy to discuss the grudge I have with it!

First off, the voice acting is terrible. The characters' voices are either too high or not suitable for them at all. There is one pig cop in this movie, whose voice sounds like it was done by Patrick the Starfish from "SpongeBob." I know the actor was trying to do his best to make this character sound dumb, but that voice just doesn't cut it. I'm really starting to not care at this point. The only exception out of the voice cast was Skip Hinnant, the voice of Fritz. He actually sounded like a teenager, and Hinnant managed to pull the voice off.

Second of all, the animation is wretched and downright obnoxious. Sometimes, it looks almost like something from Disney, other times, it looks like a cartoon that Warner Bros. would create, and finally, the colors, in four scenes, blend in with the background; when the characters are smoking, to Fritz's pointless hallucinations, when Bertha the Crow shoves joints into his mouth, the scene where he goes back to his dorm and sets his exam notes on fire, and a random sequence with a bird who was snapping his fingers to '60's music. The coloring is beyond ugly, and you can't make out what is going on. I know this is a cartoon from the 1970's, but it doesn't put the least bit of effort into itself whatsoever. It's not even trying, I swear.

But the hugest grudge I have with this movie is the title character, himself. Sweet mother of Pearl, I hate, no, despise Fritz with a passion! He is a complete idiot to everyone, he doesn't give rat's hat about anything, and he makes out with female animals for his own freaking amusement! My poor eyes!

It is so clear that this movie has neither smarts, explanations, consistency nor decency to save its life. It makes "Family Guy," another cartoon I hate, look like Shakespeare, and it has no plot or effort put into it.

I refuse to give this stupid, utterly disgusting motion picture the satisfaction to be appreciated, watched or mentioned in a future reference! "Fritz the Cat" is garbage! No, uh, uh, I shouldn't say that, it's garbage of garbage!

You want my verdict of your film, Ralph Bakshi? Well, here ya go, I hope you're happy!

THE FINAL VERDICT AND RATING: 1/10 (It doesn't even deserve it.)
