Animator and filmmaker Ralph Bakshi began his career at the age of 18 as a cell
painter for Terrytoons Animation Studio. He quickly became an animator, working
on such characters as Mighty Mouse, Heckle and Jeckle and Deputy Dog. After
becoming a Creative Director for CBS, Bakshi created and wrote The Mighty
Heroes before moving to Paramount Cartoon Studios, where he did four
animated theatricals: Marvin Digs, Mini Squirts, Super Basher
and Bop and The Fiendish Five. In 1971, he created, wrote and
directed his controversial Fritz the Cat, an animated feature that was
touted as "the first X-rated animated cartoon". Bakshi followed it with even
more controversial animated features: Heavy Traffic (1973) and
Coonskin (1975). In 1977, he turned to the safer realm of science
fiction, creating, writing, directing and producing Wizards and later
directing an animated version of Lord of the Rings (1978), using a
rotoscoping technique to animate realistic characters. The multi-talented Bakshi
has also created and directed live action shorts and TV movies and directed
The Harlem Shuffle, a Rolling Stones music video. Paper clip impression
at upper left blank margin. Fine condition.
