Fritz the Cat 1972
For a comedic film, it has an existential problem. It is just not funny.
I try to find more stuff to say about it, but it's just dull, uninspired and incredibly pretentious. "Yeah, let's make really obvious jokes about the '68 generation, as if it weren't an easy target enough."

AVOID IT!If you want a great adult-y cartoon, more in touch with my generation (90s kid), check out THE MAXX!
