No.
Its a bad movie but its not garbage. Should've been around 35-45
Eli Sanchez
Yes but that's all on the fault on the studio for fucking with the project
You can tell Ralph was trying his best with what he had but eventually just said fuck it
Bentley Wright
I remember being really disappointed when I finally sat down and watched it. Really would have loved to see what Ralph had originally planned for the film. the concept art, as well as the art for the film looked absolutely fuckin awesome. Oh well, at least the OST is fuckin jammin.

Bakshi-related question: Is Fire & Ice and Wizards
both worth watching if I just want to see some cool animation?
Jeremiah Lewis
What was the original plans for the movie? I’ve never heard of what his vision for it was or how the studio messed with him.
Cameron Hill
Wizards is hit and miss. Not really impressive animation wise for a 70's animation film, but it's a interesting little watch going from Bakshi's adult works like Fritz the cat, Heavy Traffic, and Coonskin to see Bakshi try his hand at a "children's films". Certainly no kids film with a story and setting like it, especially with some of the violence that goes on.
Mason Mitchell
Fire and Ice is all rotoscoping so if you're a purist against that you might not like it. Wizards has some rotoscoping too but it's more thematic and effects based rather than the entire thing like Fire and Ice is.
Fire and Ice is honestly better as background noise or just cool scenes to look at sporadically for the atmosphere, its plot is a jumbled mess. Like many of Bakshi's projects, you can kind of tell it was cooler and grander on paper than what actually ended up making it to the screen.

adult animated films are just children shows with cuss words or gore
John Perry
It was going to be about a half toon half human hybrid who tries to murder his father while also trying to figure out where he stands in the world
It was going to be a bit more dramatic
Daniel Allen
The Original story was supposed to be a horror film about a bastard toon child of a man and a cartoon, out for revenge on her father. Studio picked up the film idea and gave ralph the funding and then proceeded to pull the rug under Ralph, wanting a "adult roger rabbit" film instead.
John Stewart
this movie has animation from 1978 that looks better than anything bashing has ever made no joke.
Anthony Foster
Its honestly one of the worse movies I have ever seen.
I'm honestly surprised Brad Pitt's career survived it, since it was one of his very first movies.
Lincoln Butler
Why did Bakshi stop making movies anyway? Should be easier than ever to get a project greenlit with his amount of experience.
Jason Gonzalez
Richard Williams is an Apollonian who is absolutely obsessed with every single detail of every single movement and as such can hardly complete his own project without an absurdly arduous production and a lot of harrumphing about the industry.
Ralph Bakshi is a Dionysian who just wants to tell his cool insane stories about battling nazi wizards and being an isolated young person getting stoned in New York, and he doesn't care if he has to use rotoscoping, painting, live-action, whatever to get it out there. After he finished them he fucked off and now makes outsider art in the Southwest desert.

So Holly, being a more realistic cartoon character was intended to be a hybrid?
Blake Taylor
The story is shit but the soundtrack and visuals make it well worth watching for me. Same sorta deal as Monkeybone but Monkeybone is more enjoyable as an actual movie but with less interesting visuals
Jason Cooper
Holly was the toon mom I think, and the child would resent her for being a floozy I believe. Probably the characters became combined when the film became about Holly’s conception plot rather than the resulting birth.
Justin Richardson
This movie killed Bakshi’s career
Cooper Campbell
name one movie that he did that was actually good
