Animation and fantasy go hand in hand. In the 80s, there was a boom of fantasy epics in the land of cartoons that had nothing to do with the House of Mouse and everything to do with adult content. This was helped along from the previous decade by creator Ralph Bakshi, who had started things off with Fritz the Cat and would be the first to do a feature-length version of Lord of The Rings with his animated film and the trippy flick Wizards (and later - the cult film Cool World). During our fave decade, Anime would find a welcoming home in the US with several classics that would be released during that time. Canada would also get into the mix with Heavy Metal (which we’ll get to.) But Ralph Bakshi decided to join forces with one of the biggest names in fantasy art for a new entry into the world of adult animated films. That name was Frank Frazetta, and he and Bakshi created a story in a land of both Fire and Ice. Today on Fantasizing About Fantasy Films, we’re about to get really animated about the genre we all love as we take a look at the classic Fire and Ice.
