Not all that heavy on plot or character, but good for what it was, i.e. a string of excuses to animate good-looking muscular people doing epic athletic things in a pulp sci-fi/fantasy setting.
Definitely the best-looking, most consistent film Bakshi ever put out. Truly a Frazetta painting brought to life.

I was JUST talking about this movie, not five minutes ago! Tried to explain why it was his best, to a friend of mine who's never seen any of Bakshi's films.
We're all caught up in Hobbit fever, aren't we?

cognitivedissonance - 2012-12-17 And Rankin-Bass Hobbit is amazing. Brother Theodore Gollum IS Gollum to me. I'll never get used to CGI Gollum.

EvilHomer - 2012-12-17 No, not THAT Hobbit. New Hobbit fever, I mean! Hobbit that came out this weekend and has doubtlessly caused us all to regress to our natural, Tolkein-faggot forms. Bakshi did his own version of Fellowship, which was even more forgettable and even less well received than the (unfairly maligned) Rankin-Bass Hobbit musical.

Old_Zircon - 2012-12-17 I think the FIRST movie of the Peter Jackson LOTR trilogy captured the spirit of the books pretty well. By the third one I didn't even bother, though.
Anyway I didn't post this video because of his new Hobbit movie, I posted it because I was talking to a friend of mine about how good Coonskin is over lunch yesterday and he reminded me that I still haven't seen this one.

DOES NOT HAVE "THOMAS KINKADE" TAG. NEEDS "THOMAS KINKADE" TAG.
CAPITALIZATION MANDATORY.

EvilHomer - 2012-12-17 Hear hear! Every time someone playa hates on Thomas Kinkade, you can direct them to this film and set the record straight.
|
Old_Zircon - 2012-12-17 Done, but it's already an active tag so no capitalization.
