Do you guys think animation will ever be taken seriously in the west? Personally, I don’t think it’ll happen unless we get another movie like Fritz the Cat.

I think it could happen. The foreign animated films get a lot of attention and if they get wide releases in the west then people won’t think of it as just for kids.
Adam Cruz
There are still good, mature animated films being made. It’s just that they don’t get much advertising or distribution, unlike the kiddy shit that usually gets released in theaters.
Gavin Cook
Things like Fritz the Cat are exactly why animation is not taken seriously in the west, OP.
Jace Carter
gay lol
Lucas Taylor
this
Juan Ward
No, it’s because of this.
Camden Lewis
Fritz is so based. Blu ray release now pls
Jayden Jenkins
All big budget Hollywood productions, animated or live action, are by design infantilized.
Chase Reed

>animation
Grayson Moore
Not if you rely on Hollywood.
Blake Murphy
I mean, aren’t all Hollywood movies just animation now?
Hunter Kelly

We don't need a movie like Fritz the Cat.
The concept was good, Crumb is based, but the animation is shit.
Adult animation needs to step up its game in the west, it hasn't changed much in quality and ambition since Fritz.
Dylan Hall
No never.
Brainwashing has gone on too long at this point to turn the tide.
You'd need a legitimate concentrated effort over decades, and no one cares enough to do that.
Isaiah Cox
Can’t wait for this movie; it’s going to kick so much ass.
Carson Lopez

>Heavy Traffic
Fritz the Cat isn’t even close to Bakshi Kino you fuck
Noah Ramirez
>implying it's taken seriously elsewhere
Landon Torres
Degenerate boomer garbage
Dominic Murphy
But it is. You think movies like the triplets of bellville or the red turtle would ever be made in the US?
Jaxson Edwards
This is the most mature animated film America has ever made and it still lost the Oscar to a Disney movie.
Christopher Garcia
Wow youre a faggot foreign animated films are fucking terrible
Isaiah Nguyen
Go watch Uglydolls and Emoji Movie.
Charles Williams
We're talking about Fritz, but Bakshi's a fucking hack too while I'm at it.
Angel Martinez
Do you think the average foreigner actually gives a shit about those movies outside of a novelty? I don't. Just like how weebs pretend anime is normal in Japan when it's only manchildren and womanchildren that like it
Liam Gray
adult animation will never take off because there's no point to animation if it isn't somewhat fantastical
there are some exceptions but for the most part this is true
Jace Fisher
>Promare
K-Kamina?
Sebastian Thomas
that's not being taken serious, even if made for children it could be good, it's just every. single. animation is from like three corporations all churning out their shit.
America will never produce anything with a smaller budget with a middling success, carve out niche audiences like the east does, it's either the lowest of the lowest of budget or AAA, and both can end up with the exact same quality in the end anyway, all strictly controlled by comcast, Disney, WB, etc.
Jeremiah Lee
maybe at the end of the 2020's in a nostalgia sort of thing but no sooner.
Anthony Jenkins
Hey good lookin'
American Pop
are the best ones, though
Lucas Carter
The west is geared towards adult animated series, not features.
Dominic Jackson
>adult animation will never take off because there's no point to animation if it isn't somewhat fantastical
Then why wasn’t this made in live-action?
Gabriel Jackson
it does have fantastical elements? other than that, if you're saying why wasn't there just a dude in cat ears walking around doing the things Fritz did, someone actually did something like that with the comic strip Arne And/Arne Anka
other than that, because Bakshi wanted to see it animated like or similar to what it was drawn, and did what everyone else that wants to work with Crumb had to do, bully and harass him into submission until he agrees
