Ralph Bakshi (born October 29,

1938) is an American director of animated and live-action films.

In the 1970s, he established an alternative to mainstream Between 1972 and 2015, he directed ten theatrically

released feature films, six of which he wrote. He has been involved in numerous

television projects as director, writer, producer and animator. Beginning his

career at the Terrytoons television cartoon studio as a cel polisher, Bakshi

was eventually promoted to animator, and then director. He moved to the animation

division of Paramount Pictures in 1967 and started his

own studio, Bakshi Productions, in 1968. Through producer Steve Krantz,

Bakshi made his debut feature film, Fritz the Cat, released in 1972. It was

based on the comic strip by Robert Crumb and

was the first animated film to receive an X rating from

the Motion Picture Association of America,

and is the most successful independent animated feature of all time. Over the

next eleven years, Bakshi directed seven additional animated features. He is

well known for such films as Wizards (1977), The Lord of the Rings (1978), American Pop (1981)

and Fire and Ice (1983). In 1987, Bakshi

returned to television work, producing the series Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures,

which ran for two years. After a nine-year hiatus from feature films, he

directed Cool World (1992), which was largely rewritten during

production and received poor reviews, consequently being his last theatrical

feature-length film to date. Bakshi returned to television with the live-action

film Cool and the Crazy (1994) and

the anthology series Spicy City (1997).

During the 2000s, he focused largely on fine art and painting and in 2003

co-founded The Bakshi School of Animation with his son Eddie and Jess Gorell.

Bakshi has received several awards for his work, including the 1980 Golden

Gryphon for The Lord
