Ralph Bakshi, the adult animation titan behind the Fritz The Cat films,
brought this animated crime drama to screens to a lot of controversy
back in 1975.
A satire of mob films, racist stereotypes, and Songs of
The South, Coonskin not only challenged what we could and should expect
from animation, its bold and brazen depiction of race relations in
America (the country is here represented by a blonde woman who seduces
and kills African-American men) is unlike anything you’ve ever seen this
generation or otherwise.
