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.

I get to make these videos at work. I edit them using #Kdenlive and had to use the #rotoscoping tool to edited a #MapleBug that wandered on the scene. I use #AudioRecorder from #Fdroid to capture audio then sync in kdenlive. After it all I use #Handbreak to reduce the video size to about 3 to 4 mb from 45mb to post it on a display say city Hall.
#OpenSource is awesome

The rotoscoped micro-clip from fridge letters is coming along 🤪 Clip + mini making off:
https://exode.me/w/5ZYAswk79fkZaawQ4J6E2n
151 (simple) drawings, 12.5 fps.
All that remains is to add sound.
I'm planning to use this clip as the title for a series of short videos (under 2 minutes) to help with learning traditional melodies.

Just released a music video for a band I’ve been working with and wanted to share. I really enjoyed working on the film - it was a lovely & inspiring piece of music to create animation for:

"a hermetic, home-made vision of bewitching ritual in a diseased America": Kelly Bigelow Becerra and Roland Becerra’s painterly, rotoscoped debut feature AGATHA (2022) is a disorienting pleasure from beginning to end. Highly recommended. Seen at #FilmMaudit2.0

Here's a #tiktok of the #dancing #Chewbacca #rotoscoping project I created.

I grew up a Disney kid, so #rotoscoping has my heart.

@gloriaoils
If it was obvious that the flags changed, they may've undergone #rotoscoping too.

The #bodySwitch evidence was compelling, as well as the young men who were filthy and distressed but made it to work down the road, reported to local police. Attestations from those who knew #mafia were decsending on the location cannot be ignored. That photo indicated that HWB was present and involved also.

There's a lot in it. In our view its one of the more important works of the last decades.

How this #AnotherWorld sequence was made ? Here is the original shooting from 1990 used for #rotoscoping !
