2.0 out of 5 stars a poor cousin to Fritz The Cat, Mar 31 2004

This review is from: Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat (Widescreen) (DVD)

This seemed like a bit of a mish mash of stories that never quite got finished and so they stuck them together and made a story line on nine lives.
It just does not cut the mustard.
The music is also disappointing.
Compared to the first move Fritz the Cat it just does not make it. Save your time and energy and dont bother

1.0 out of 5 stars Depressing continuation of its forerunner, Dec 18 2003

This review is from: Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat (Widescreen) (DVD)

The problem is that the original Fritz the Cat told the story of the 60's through the adventures of its title character, and talked about the problems and personalities of our times. This film first fools you into thinking it's going to do the same for the 70's...but it doesn't.

Like a reviewer before me said, there's no real plot. There's just different bits of Fritz's so-called lives, but they have very little to do with the modern era of America as some reviewers or synopsis writers have falsely said. Fritz goes back and forth between World War II, the depression, and even the future. Seeing a "New Africa" is all well and good, but no such place exists. This movie gives us plenty of a fantasy America but very little reality like the original "Fritz the Cat" did for the 60's generation.

Those who say it's great animation for it's time have not seen the original Fritz the Cat. While the animation in that may have been poor, the animation in this is awful! It reminded me of "School House Rock." Neither did this film have the great film making style of Ralph Bakshi, since Mr. Bakshi didn't direct it. His replacement tries to outdo him...a little too much. During the 1940's section with Fritz we watch lights fly by a la "2001: A Space Odyssey"...in fact the lights go on forever. I had to fast forward that scene because it was seriously dragged out beyond my patience.

This sequel could have done what it's predecessor did in revealing American society, but instead it gets caught up in the over-indulgence of the writers and director. I'm sure there's an excuse for how Hitler and his testicles greatly affected the 1970's in America...but I can't think of one.

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat (Widescreen) (DVD)

i found this movie ''alright'' as i've only saw about 30 minutes of it so far it's hilarious though and it's one of the few movies that's animated but not a kiddie movie but also not ''anime'' whinch is what you usaly think of when someone says adult animation. i only bothered to watch the film because i was a cat lover and a fan of mvies from the 60's and 70's even though it's animated it gives a much more real point of view than most movies of that time.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat
This cartoon is one of the greatest cartoons I have ever watched. It is some trippy s*#t!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Sequel
Of course, it's not as good as the first film, but Nine Lives is still funny and entertaining. The animation is a bit better than the first, and again Fritz is a really likeable... Read more
