Better than Streaming: Fire and Ice 4K Blu-ray Coming Out On June 30

Welcome back fellow geeks, Blu-ray collectors and movie buffs!

If you love the animated works of director Ralph Bakshi (American Pop, The Lord of The Rings) and the artworks of Frank Frazetta (Conan The Barbarian, Vampirella), then you should watch out for their memorable collaboration in ultra high-definition as the 1983 animated movie Fire and Ice will be released on 4K Blu-ray format on June 30, 2026, exclusively via MVDshop.

With a story co-written by Bakshi and Frazetta and the screenplay done by comic book legends Gerry Conway and Roy Thomas, Fire and Ice is the story of a young warrior named Larn who wants revenge against the evil queen Juliana and her son Nekron. Larn also has the task to rescue their kidnapped princess Teegra. For your interest and reference, watch the classic movie trailer below.

I personally am interested in replaying Fire and Ice in 4K Blu-ray format. I saw Fire and Ice a few times a very long time ago on a rented video tape and on cable TV (randomly viewed it) but I never actually got to watch it entirely. Fire and Ice 4K Blu-ray is on my list of 4K Blu-ray releases of this year. I can only wonder when it would get offered via Amazon.

As for Ralph Bakshi, I admire his works on rotoscoped animation and how he visualized his concepts. His work on The Lord of the Rings animated film of 1978 was ambitious and he made the most out of their limited resources. I own a Blu-ray copy of his animated film American Pop and watching rotoscoped animated scenes and characters move in high-definition is enjoyable.

Fire and Ice, to the best of my memory, has a fantasy concept that reminds me somewhat of Conan The Barbarian (and the sword-and-sandals fantasy elements) and it also the traditional concept of the heroic man who risks his life to save an important woman from the forces of evil. To replay Fire and Ice in 4K is something I desire as a 4K Blu-ray collector and enthusiast of traditional animation.

Not to be outdone is the vocal cast that has William Ostrander, Maggie Roswell, Steve Sandor, Stephen Mendel and Susan Tyrell. The performances in Fire and Ice were strong.

Ralph Bakshi e il cinema d'animazione

#Iwatched #FireAndIce (1983) a film by #RalphBakshi and #FrankFrazetta. The story is so bad, you may not notice the racism. Even the animation is often sloppy. Its only redeeming quality may be seeing Frazetta's preferred body type animated in the rotoscoped form of princess Teegra. Focussing on this strength, TOP MEN have been editing the film for years, to make Teegra finally appear topless. If animated titties mean anything to you, respectfully wait until they're done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iAEDdCovA4

I was surprised to read the article and find it was *not* about Ralph Bakshi.

Interesting stuff.

Happy 85th Birthday, Ralph Bakshi!

#RalphBakshi #Animator #Filmmaker #FritzTheCat #TheLordOfTheRings #Birthday

#OTD 1938, ingenious #animation artist Ralph Bakshi was born. His impact on animation is huge, and many say there would be no Simpsons, no Ren & Stimpy, no Sponge Bob, no Rick & Morty etc. without him.

But his work also affected cinema in general. Watch his animated #LordOfTheRings movie and you'll understand how massively his visual art influenced Peter Jackson's adaptation of the material.

A new #FilmsTRIPS #podcast is out! This time, Andrew and I take a look at the 1978 adaptation of #TheLordOfTheRings! https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/24panelspersecond/episodes/2023-02-28T13_37_47-08_00 #RalphBakshi #PeterSBeagle #JohnHurt #ChristopherGuard #AnthonyDaniels #JRRTolkein #LeonardRosenman

Hab dem animierten The Lord of the Rings aus dem Jahr 1978 von #RalphBakshi mal eine Chance gegeben.

Definitiv ein paar interessante Ideen, aber insgesamt eher mühselig zu gucken:
