Fritz The Cat (1972)


A hypocritical swinging college student cat raises hell in a satiric vision of various elements on the 1960's.
Apparently Robert Crumb despised this reworking of his creation so much that he even sued to get his name taken out of the credits. However Ralph Bakshi was probably the best bet to attempt to capture Crumb's underground comic style, judging by his later movie Heavy Traffic, and they still kept enough of his sordid humour in it to become the first animation given an x- rating.
