While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Another movie Which Ralph Bakshi said was a kids movie like Wizards, and although this doesn't have the same propaganda effects like in Wizards 3 years earlier. But this film is a lot darker, grittier and more adult then Wizards. I don't remember a lot about this movie. I did see this movie on Apple tv making it one of the few movies of my Weekly movie mania on Apple tv. I also saw it the same day I saw Thor: Ragnarok and during the last 20 minuets my dad came home. He didn't see it though but he let me finish watching it. I thought the film was decent at least. This film was shot entirely in Rotoscope similar to the last animated fantasy film in the trilogy The lord of the rings animated movie. The animation is very fluid almost looking life like and super realistic but that only goes for the animated characters.Besides the characters nothing else is rotoscoped, its just the characters in stilted animated backgrounds. Now granted the backgrounds are very well done and very detailed but they could have some more movement besides the characters walking in front of them. I thought the climax was a bit short as well. Even though I was happy, I was expecting Larn to kill not Darkwolf. But it was still good to Darkwolf kill him I guess. Too bad this was the last move directed by Ralph Bakshi until 1992 and we all know how that turned out.7 out of 10.

This one is great... the story and gorgeous animation is mature (not dirty but not kiddiefied). Good animation for those that appreciate comics and other animated films.A story of a tribe that lost their homes and lives to a glacier via an evil Ice Lord Nekron. Larn is this only survivor King Jarol has the place of Fire and his daughter, Teegra, is abducted by the ape-like men. Larn must save Teegra and put an end to Nekron.This is one of Ralph Bakshi's finest films... I remember seeing this as a kid and it's nice to watch again all these years later.. has upheld the test of time well.Ralph Bakshi also created The Lord of the Rings (1978) - another film well worth watching!!9/10

A king's land is under an impending threat from an ice lord and his army. After his daughter is kidnapped a warrior assists the princess to reunite her with her people.Like Ralph Bakshis' The Lord of the Rings (1978), Fire and Ice has plenty of atmosphere, it actually oozes it but it's dispensable story leaves it lacklustre given its similarities to other tales. It also appears unusual that the sub character, namely Darkwolf is more fleshed out than the main lead Larn. That said, there's some nice fantasy elements notably the sub-human ape-like beings, flying dragon hawk-like creatures and sorcerers to name a few.Given the adult nature of the film it may have been rounded by more blood splatter and Cynthia Leake/ Maggie Roswell (voice) Teegra either being topless through-out or less scantly clad as she almost becomes a titillating distraction.That said, there's no shortage of ambiance with wonderful background paintings on display. The rotoscope technique and animation give it a magical unearthly feel. The Teegra flesh on display and a Conan-esque witch scene that makes it worth a viewing alone. Yes it's flawed but it's also visually masterfully crafted.

Brave and resourceful young warrior Larn not only vows to gets revenge on the evil Nekron after Nekron murders everyone in his village, but also attempts to rescue the beautiful princess Teegra from Nekron's foul clutches. The rugged and mysterious Darkwolf helps Larn out. Director Ralph Bakshi and noted illustrator Frank Frazetta are to be commended for not making this film a cutesy and wholesome piece of Disneyesque lightweight family fare; instead it's a dark and fairly gritty rough'n'tumble affair with a serious tone, startling moments of savage violence, vigorous and exciting action set pieces, and a funky array of odd and often lethal creatures (Nekron's simian subhuman flunkies in particular are pretty grotesque and detestable). The exquisitely fluid and vivid animation that was done with rotoscoping over live actors and actresses possesses a remarkably lifelike quality. The characters and the dangerous world they inhabit is designed with tremendous flair and imagination, with buff larger-than-life heroes, eminently loathsome baddies, and an incredibly gorgeous and voluptuous damsel in distress who isn't as helpless as she initially appears to be. Moreover, the basic simplicity of the story gives this movie a winningly unpretentious charm: Larn and Teegra make for appealing protagonists, Darkwolf rates as one amazing bad-ass dude, and Nekron sizes up as an exceptionally hateful and arrogant villain. The excellent voice work by the cast warrants extra kudos, with especially fine contributions from Steve Sandor as the formidable Darkwolf, Leo Gordon as kindly king Jarol, and Susan Tyrell as Nekron's venomous witch mother Juliana. Francis Grumman's robust orchestral score hits the rousing spot. William Kraft's crisp cinematography boasts neat occasional use of wipes. An extremely cool and enjoyable flick.
