Fritz the Cat Ratings & Reviews
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
Overall, a very of-the-moment work, more of a snapshot than a portrait, more of a calling card than a vision. Its X rating won it some notoriety, but by today's standards it's fairly tame.
The Spool
B.L. Panther
Fritz the Cat looks back at the supposed "good times" of the 1960s with a biting sensibility that scratches out the eyes of nearly every sacred liberal institution.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
There's something unusually primitive about the artwork and the character designs; it's obvious that the artists aren't trying to craft a visually stunning masterpiece.
The Film Yap
Christopher Lloyd
For a movie that's largely remembered for being "the dirty animal cartoon," Fritz the Cat is also a surprisingly biting socioeconomic critique of 1960s counterculture.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
A singular, cohesive, and powerful vision, but it's also an alarmingly toxic one.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
X-rated museum piece
TV Guide
Best observed as a cultural artifact.
Variety
Variety Staff
Excellent animation and montage shore up a plot which has a few howls, several chuckles and many smiles.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
The results, inevitably, were disappointing -- Bakshi just didn't have the money to make it right.

Bawdy animated fun--a classic.
Apollo Guide
Kurt Dahlke
Those who consider themselves un-cool can still take pleasure in viewing this strange adult-oriented feature length cartoon, the likes of which flourished briefly in the 1970s but never became established as mainstream entertainment.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
Despite the somewhat meandering nature of its plot, the film's underlying messages about social hypocrisy on all levels still has a strong bite to it, and it remains one of the more creative and daring forays in feature-length animation.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
Full of animated, nude, cartoon animals and some of the most vitriolic racism (disguised as empowerment) ever put on film, Fritz the Cat is so bad that Crumb, after seeing the film, killed the character in one of his comics.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Rumsey Taylor
Despite the curiosity it inspires, the world's first X-rated cartoon falls flat in its first ten minutes.
