My first
Skid MaherGUEST
experience, I think, actually was seeing the Ralph Bakshi animated Lord of the Rings movie in theaters in 1978.
Skid MaherGUEST
I was five years old.
Skid MaherGUEST
Wow.
Skid MaherGUEST
And I was begging my parents to come take me to see it.
Skid MaherGUEST
But Ralph Bakshi was coming off of like Fritz the Cat.
Paula DemingGUEST
Yeah.
Skid MaherGUEST
And they were like, I don't think you're going to want to see this.
Todd LiebenowHOST
Yeah.
Todd LiebenowHOST
I just, in the last couple of days, happened to watch Ralph Bakshi's film Wizards.
Todd LiebenowHOST
And I was like, oh, Bakshi surely saw this.
Todd LiebenowHOST
I can see the influence there.
DrewHOST
for you.
DrewHOST
I mean, it wouldn't be the first Ralph Bakshi one.
DrewHOST
And I wouldn't be surprised if 3.5 comes back to rear its ugly head there, too.
DrewHOST
Oh, gosh.
Sara Michelle FettersGUEST
But I think the three most...
Sara Michelle FettersGUEST
Essential films are Watership Down, The Secret of NIMH, and Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings.
Sara Michelle FettersGUEST
And here's the curious thing.
Sara Michelle FettersGUEST
Lord of the Rings, which also Ralph Bakshi's version of Lord of the Rings, also extremely ambitious, also used animation unlike anything else, also couldn't fit its entire...
Sara Michelle FettersGUEST
Yes.
Sara Michelle FettersGUEST
story into one film and also runs two hours and 12 minutes they are both the exact same length so
Michael ViersHOST
So one thing I was wondering when I was watching, well, for a couple of thoughts I had, because like I said, this was my first time watching the original Tron.
Michael ViersHOST
And the first thing that I noticed is I was marveled by how much it reminded me stylistically at times of someone like Ralph Bakshi.
Michael ViersHOST
and the things that he was doing with his rotoscope animation.
Michael ViersHOST
Was he at all an inspiration for Tron, or was that just happenstance?
Gregory FoleyHOST
It's definitely on my list.
Gregory FoleyHOST
I've got a few that I've written down here I'd love to do, like History of Violence, Crimson Tide, No Country for Old Men, Ralph Bakshi.
Gregory FoleyHOST
I'd love to do something like Ralph Bakshi.
Gregory FoleyHOST
Because I've got a spicy take that's too...
Gregory FoleyHOST
But in terms of which is my favourite Ralph Bakshi film, Google Ralph Bakshi films, it's...
Gregory FoleyHOST
It's the one you
Thomas O'MahonyHOST
probably think.
Will PrestonHOST
But I think this is around the time where anime is not considered like, especially adult animation is not re-recognized as a thing.
Will PrestonHOST
Around the time you probably had stuff like Ralph Bakshi and things.
Will PrestonHOST
But if people see an animated thing, they go, oh, this is a cartoon, this is for kids.
Will PrestonHOST
Not in
1 HR 25 MINS LATER
Rob HaldenHOST
A first time viewing.
Rob HaldenHOST
opinion on martin day viewing opinion yes give it to me i
Will PrestonHOST
want other people to suffer as well as us that's what i have to uh thought the animation was good if a bit basic okay it was never going to be ralph bakshi but it is as good if not better than most tv animation of the period Some of the English language performances were a bit perfunctory.
Will PrestonHOST
They were acting or just reading the lines out loud.
Adrian MillsHOST
Do you know, by the way, Rocket Robin Hood,
Graham RaddingsHOST
written by Ralph Bakshi.
Graham RaddingsHOST
It makes sense when I think about it.
Graham RaddingsHOST
I wonder if it's got quality animation for his...
David DedrickHOST
And they did.
David DedrickHOST
Ralph Bakshi.
Ian BoothbyHOST
Yeah.
David DedrickHOST
Made half of half.
Ian BoothbyHOST
Who directed the Rankin and Bass?
David DedrickHOST
I don't know.
David DedrickHOST
I don't think that was Ralph Bakshi.
Ian BoothbyHOST
All right.
Sean MeansGUEST
But that one is sort of the nerd boy early eighties thing.
Sean MeansGUEST
Um, they were, they were, they were obviously inspired by Ralph Bakshi.
Sean MeansGUEST
Um, Ralph, Ralph didn't work on the movie, but obviously these guys wanted to be working with Ralph at some point.
Sean MeansGUEST
Um, and, and you get, and, and it's just, um, it's a crazy, it's a crazy movie.
