The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat (1974)
Member Rating:  
In this follow-up to the 1972 animated hit Fritz the Cat (the first animated feature to receive an X rating), Fritz (voice of Skip Hinnant) is married, out of work, on welfare, and not at all happy. Desperate to blot out the misery of living with his nagging wife (voice of Reva Rose), Fritz smokes as much marijuana as he can afford and finds himself fantasizing about how his life could have been. His Walter Mitty-like adventures find him travelling in outer space, working at the White House, assisting Adolph Hitler, and becoming involved with African-American radicals. Unlike its raunchier predecessor, The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat only merited an R rating upon initial release. Neither Robert Crumb (the comic artist who created the character) nor Ralph Bakshi (director of the first film) were involved in its production. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A hillarious and politcally outspoken movie that reflects the instability of its time. Unfortunatly, the first "Fritz the Cat" is rated "X" and as we all know, Blockbuster does not carry rated "X" movies. Not as good as the first, but none-the-less an extremely good movie.

Fritz The Cat (the original) was a great movie for those of us baby boomers who grew up in the late sixties and early seventies. This sequel was a great disappointment. Unfortunately, the original is not available through Blockbuster. (????????) Maybe it's not on DVD, I don't know, but what a mistake to have this one out and not the original. Anybody know if the original is available on DVD?

I enjoyed the first part, but, the second part was lacking, and in the end made this sequel a rather desperate attempt to crate a follow up to the original; FRITZ THE CAT. Sorry guys and gals, The best I can do on this one, is 2 stars. Only hope that at some later date you will procure the original;FRITZ THE CAT.PEACE
