Absolutely. Once you've reached wizard awesome, that's it, you've exceeded the maximum amount of awesomeness one can ever hope to attain.

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.

I've only seen it once and that was at the cinema, so a long time ago. I wasnt that fussed by it though, it certainly didnt move me at least.

True, that's why I love the film and Ralph Bakshi making Al Sharpton look like a moron in front of his posse is also a nice addition.
Al Lewis voiced The Godfather, that's unbelievably swoll.

I was'nt moved by it either. I thought it was OK but unimaginative and derivative. I have seen similar a 1000 times over. Hey ho.

Pretty much exactly how I felt about it. It wasn't horrible, but it was pretty mediocre. I'm not sure what boo boo thought was so ambiguous about it, I thought it was a very straight-forward movie similar to tons of other feel-good movies.
