makiprettywoman3 Nine Live of Fritz the Cat is about a Cat named Fritz who is trying to get away from life of being married and having kids. He lights up a joint and begins to dream about the other 8 lives he could have. This movie was definitely ahead of it's time in 1974. I don't think there were many animated films in the 1970's that were even Rated R. If you are a person with Epilepsy this not the movie for you. This movie is pretty trippy.This movie deals with a lot of heavy topics such as racism and drug use. There is one scene with Nazi's in it. There is scene where the black people are suppose to be crows and they do use the N word at least 2-3 times. They even have a scene where the 6 letter f-word is mentioned. There are some sex jokes in this movie. If you don't like crude humor you probably won't like this movie.I thought this was a pretty good movie. I liked many of the scenes in the movie. One my favorites was the one where Fritz is the pawn shop and trying to sell a used toilet. He tries to explain how it belonged to and old person and was only gently used. I thought it was really funny. There are a few parts of this movie that are slow. There are a few parts that I didn't like in the movie.

TheLittleSongbird It does have its problems, but I liked it, and I do think there are worse sequels out there. I enjoyed Fritz the Cat and was all for a sequel, and I got a pretty good film. The story structure is episodic and there are moments that I would deem strange, but along the way I noticed some improvements as well. While I loved the unique look of Fritz the Cat, the animation here is really good here as well, even more colourful and vibrant than before. Plus the pacing I felt was much more secure first time around. The script is witty and funny, the soundtrack is hip and cool, the voice acting is good and Fritz still has both his hypocrisy and likability. Some of the supporting characters aren't as likable, and don't get enough screen time to shine though. Still, it is a pretty good film. 7/10 Bethany Cox

BadWebDiver The saying "sequels ain't equals" is definitely demonstrated in this completely lackluster follow-up to the earlier brilliantly witty "Fritz the Cat".While both films portray an anthropomorphic view of 70s counterculture using animals, and both use the shock value of drugs, sex and cursing to stir up a reaction; this movie by a totally different production team completely lacks any of the charm, personality, or essential feeling that made the earlier film so appealing.While I am not a member of this counterculture and don't relate to it personally very well, I did try to keep an open mind while watching both movies, and neither one really shocked me that much - maybe because they're getting older and I've witnessed more shock value in recent movies. With the original FRITZ THE CAT I got the impression that the "naughty" stuff was true to life, and helped make the characters real and interesting. With NINE LIVES the whole thing just felt like some very bad schoolboy joke that merely shows off the "smutty" bits for their own sake, and doesn't go anywhere with them. It all seems just a bit overdone. The take on Nazi Germany had a teeny bit of satirical value, but it hardly seemed to be worth the trouble, and the idea has been done a lot more effectively elsewhere.Summing up: don't waste your time with this one, unless you're a fanatical completest. But go and enjoy the original FRITZ THE CAT, if you feel you can handle it.

preppy-3 but that's it. An R-rated animated film has Fritz (a cat) being told off endlessly by his wife about his drug habit, being on welfare, being bad in bed etc etc. As she screams at him, he sits there totally stoned out of his mind and drifts off into different lives. The emphasis here is on sex, vulgarity, tons of swearing, explicit violence, buckets of blood and plenty on racial issues (in one segment, New Jersey is sold to black people!). In other segments: Friz meets an alcoholic, flatuant Jesus Christ; is an assistant to Hitler and psychoanalyzes him; is an astronaut; in a pointless 30s segments and trying to cash his welfare check.How this got an R rating is beyond me--there's enough explicit material here for a strong NC-17. The film never stops moving, the animation is very good but there's no real story. The sequences are very strange (to say the least) and take pot shots at everything from religion to race to sex and drugs--but why? There's no point or point of view. Also there are pointless psychedlic light shows with bad 70s music. They bored me silly--I fast forwarded through them. Also the constant swearing, violence and sex wore me down and got dull after a while. And the racial issues are handled quite offensively (for black and white) and are VERY 70s.Not really worth your time. Skip it. "Fritz the Cat" was better.
