The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat

When the mail arrived from NetFlix my first thought was "oh crap" that movie should have been removed from my queue. This movie was released in 1974, and without using fast forward, lasts 76 minutes.

Fritz has devolved from the first movie, now he has a wife and and a kid or kitten would be more correct. The wife is riding his ass because all he does is lay around smoking grass he bought with the welfare check. The movie is basically a set of nine hallucinations that Fritz enjoys why the wife is yammering away about what a slug he has become. Some of these escapes are...

• Fritz splits the ridicule scene, successfully seduces his friend Juan's sister, then heads down to the Bowery to hang out with drunks.
• Finds himself in Germany's WWII where he is inducted into the army, becomes Hitler's psychologist, then get shot in the backside by Patton.
• In current time, the fabulous urban seventies, Fritz tries to raise money by pawning a toilet seat, instead Morris the shop owner trades him for an astronaut's helmet. The helmet leads to a space trip to Mars.
• After Mars, Fritz visits Harlem and meets the ghost of Duke, the pool playing crow that was killed in the first movie.
• After Duke disappears, Fritz is recruited to deliver a Presidential message to New Africa which used to be New Jersey, the problem being that the blacks, crows, don't let in the whites. Fritz is excited because crow chicks know everything by age eleven. When Fritz arrives to deliver the message to the New Africa president, the president is assassinated, blame is placed on Fritz and war breaks out between the United States and New Africa. The war ends with the United States nuking New Africa, and then the US unconditionally surrenders.
• In a later trip Fritz ands up hiding in the the sewers and meeting the devil, who is a faggot, the movie's words, not mine.

I don't have the stomach to watch or detail all nine, lets just accept that they all are bad.

From the appearance of the art, it seems evident that the original creator, Ralph Bakshi, was not involved. The detail in the artwork is just not there. The film clips, starting and intertwined with Roosevelt seem to serve no purpose.

Fritz's son, a kitten, is still crawling around, but has mastered playing with himself using either hand. That's all I have to say about that.

Don't ever watch this movie.
