I still don't know what to make of this, clearly a work from a distinct point of view, with something to say about privileged liberals for whom life is essentially a game (or a cartoon) but never actually feels that way to them. Like Fritz himself, though, this tends to get distracted by boobs and drugs to the detriment of its own train of thought.

Fritz the Cat is considered culturally significant typically for being the earliest form of adult animation, full of nonstop raunchy humor and realistically graphic anthropomorphic nudity. But the story and motivations behind the titular character are much more significant than simple sodomy. This is an animated film years ahead of its time in that it pushed the boundaries of cinematic standards, garnering the dreaded X rating. There are some progressive social issues dissected briefly during some more intelligent segments, while the majority of the film deals with cartoonish proportions of sex, drugs, and nudity. It's a neat little early foray into adult animation that honestly in the end doesn't feel like it has much to say other than giving the middle finger to the MPAA (which isn't really a bad idea). When it focuses on its bigger issues, it says what it has to say with a nice amount of gusto and inspiration.
