I'd rate Coonskin a *** also, it's one of the most ballsy films I've ever seen and a hilarious parody of blaxploitation films and Song of the South. This was a very controversial film back in the day because of the various offensive black caricatures (as well as homosexual and italian stereotypes) throughout the film, but really, it's all just a throwback to the cartoons of the 30s and 40s that was full of racism. The way Bakshi sheds a new light on it is brilliant.
Like a lot of Bakshi's films, it's also pretty disturbing at times, with Bakshi's trademark surrealism and grotesque and shocking imagery. I can't believe this film was only rated R, Fritz the Cat was rated X and this movie is WAAAAAAAY more graphic than Fritz was.

She turned me on more when she sported that look than she ever does when she has hair, to be honest.
