The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat (1974)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Nine Live of Fritz the Cat is about a Cat named Fritz who is trying to get away from life of being married and having kids. He lights up a joint and begins to dream about the other 8 lives he could have. This movie was definitely ahead of it's time in 1974. I don't think there were many animated films in the 1970's that were even Rated R. If you are a person with Epilepsy this not the movie for you. This movie is pretty trippy.This movie deals with a lot of heavy topics such as racism and drug use. There is one scene with Nazi's in it. There is scene where the black people are suppose to be crows and they do use the N word at least 2-3 times. They even have a scene where the 6 letter f-word is mentioned. There are some sex jokes in this movie. If you don't like crude humor you probably won't like this movie.I thought this was a pretty good movie. I liked many of the scenes in the movie. One my favorites was the one where Fritz is the pawn shop and trying to sell a used toilet. He tries to explain how it belonged to and old person and was only gently used. I thought it was really funny. There are a few parts of this movie that are slow. There are a few parts that I didn't like in the movie.

The saying "sequels ain't equals" is definitely demonstrated in this completely lackluster follow-up to the earlier brilliantly witty "Fritz the Cat".While both films portray an anthropomorphic view of 70s counterculture using animals, and both use the shock value of drugs, sex and cursing to stir up a reaction; this movie by a totally different production team completely lacks any of the charm, personality, or essential feeling that made the earlier film so appealing.While I am not a member of this counterculture and don't relate to it personally very well, I did try to keep an open mind while watching both movies, and neither one really shocked me that much - maybe because they're getting older and I've witnessed more shock value in recent movies. With the original FRITZ THE CAT I got the impression that the "naughty" stuff was true to life, and helped make the characters real and interesting. With NINE LIVES the whole thing just felt like some very bad schoolboy joke that merely shows off the "smutty" bits for their own sake, and doesn't go anywhere with them. It all seems just a bit overdone. The take on Nazi Germany had a teeny bit of satirical value, but it hardly seemed to be worth the trouble, and the idea has been done a lot more effectively elsewhere.Summing up: don't waste your time with this one, unless you're a fanatical completest. But go and enjoy the original FRITZ THE CAT, if you feel you can handle it.

It is always a good idea to watch something all the way through before writing about it.This film has some excellent sideways kicks at society and anybody who does not have the education to understand or concentration span should switch off after ten minutes.BTW. The word "boob" means mistake what women have are breasts. To apply that word boob to a woman`s body is sexist and what one would probably expect from a redneck.This film does not have the cutting edge of the original and although some very good moments does tend to lose its way. However, these two films were landmarks and the satire has not been equaled via cartoon until South Park arrived.

It's amazing to see how much first rate talent and meticulous effort went into making a paean to scatology. I guess the explanation is that it was crafted by top notch pros-- naturally enough, they'll draw, compose, etc., ANYTHING you tell them if the price is right. This is not to say the movie doesn't have its hilarious moments-- it does, and our occasional laughter is only interrupted by frequent fits of nausea.
