I’m going to defend Ralph Bakshi as an animator for this movie, which is weird considering how much I’ve ragged on him through his first four films. It fell apart a bit by the end, but there’s enough to recommend in the film to say that this is pretty easily his best film up to this point. In fact, for about two-thirds of the film, I was thinking that Bakshi had made something outright good. It got to the point where I was beginning to second-guess my earlier, limited affection for his adaptation of The Lord of the Rings, being familiar with it, having seen it several times over the years, but not really having watched it for a couple of years. I hadn’t so much as given upon Ralph Bakshi’s career as lost as I had considered him a man so far out of his depth in the feature film world that I regretted taking on the task of watching his films. #2 in my ranking of Ralph Bakshi’s filmography.
