SynopsisOn par with auteurs like Walt Disney, Tex Avery, Chuck Jones, and Art Spiegelman, Ralph Bakshi redefined animation and became a hero to countless generations of fans and filmmakers. If Disney's life and work evoke images of chaste princesses in gleaming castles, Bakshi's is a lady of ill repute camped out in a dim back alley. His name is synonymous with the great tradition of American cartooning. Bakshi is responsible for such memorable films and television shows such as: Fritz the Cat, the first x-rated animated feature film, The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse, Spider-man, Heavy Traffic, Cool World, and The Lord of the Rings, which celebrates its thirtieth anniversary in 2008.This is the only book chronicling the career of one of the pioneers of animation. Unfiltered highlights Bakshi's early years, as well as each of his groundbreaking films, TV shows, and other projects. Unfiltered contains hundreds of pieces of pre-production art, animation cells, and never-before-seen rough sketches, line drawings, and doodles, all culled from Bakshi's personal archives containing more than thirty years of his life's work.With contributions from animators, producers, and directors who have been influenced by his work, this is a book like no other, about a man like no other., Fully authorised by Bakshi, the authors of this biography have been given access to his archive of production drawings, paintings, posters and photographs. The chapters move from his early life through career highlights like 'Fritz the Cat' and 'Lord of the Rings', and examine his influence on those who came after him.
