Review of The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat (1974) by Ryan V — 03 Feb 2015
Fritz the Cat is getting (justifiably) chewed out by his wife as he reminisces about the various lives he's led. Most of them involve Fritz begging various ethnic stereotypes to cash his welfare check, but there are also some loopy vignettes involving Hitler and 1930's club life.
Vaguely derived from underground comics produced by Robert Crumb (who despises these films), the second Fritz movie was handled by Robert Taylor instead of Ralph Bakshi. The animation is a bit more crisp this time, but the meandering narrative feels lame and forced.
There isn't much here to recommend.
