Dan keeps serving us HITS! I wish I had something to add to the conversation beyond that but I don't. Just stuff like this that makes me glad I pay for Dan and not for cable.

Every sentence makes me stop to learn more about the wild trip that was Bakshi's life and works. It's so fascinating that it transforms cultural/personal context into substance. What I'm saying is that I understand why this project ballooned in scale. While "Fritz the Cat bloodily cut against the animation zeitgeist" is true, it's insufficient to convey just how iconoclastic it is.

Thrilling to get to see this... retrospective? of Bakshi. He's been my "obscure fave" for a long while. Thank you for a slow, thoughtful, context heavy thing! Ending is gorgeous!

After hearing several more people say it the same way, I have come to a conclusion that it's either an accent thing or very small and insignificant speech impediment type of thing. Either way, it doesn't matter

Paavo Saarinen

One small question. Is it just an accent thing, or my stupid ears playing tricks on me, or do you call Gandalf Gandaf (without pronouncing the L) throughout the video?

I had no idea who Bakshi was, so my first introduction was "coked out pervert from Brooklyn"

this was great to listen to. i look forward to the final version with all the visuals! one minor thing i noticed was when talking about the budget for fritz the cat, around 10:30 you stated "a budget of somewhere between 700 and 1.3 million". i understood from context that this means 700 thousand, but i think "between 700 thousand and 1.3 million" would sound a lot cleaner. i really appreciate the effort and detail that goes into these videos. thank you, dan

I think my favorite Bakshi movie is Fire and Ice, though that's just because I'm such a HUGE Frank Frazetta fan.

After your evisceration of The Wall, it's really nice to see the gentleness with which you talk about the filmmakers here. Thanks for remaining balanced.

well now i am also curious about what bakshi thinks happens on the simpsons lol. really though it was fun to go from my history of animation lecture on his early filmography to this video, great work as always!
