Fire and Ice
A classic animated adventure-fantasy film directed by the legendary Ralph Bakshi (THE LORD OF THE RINGS (1978), COOL WORLD).
In this animated tale, a tiny village is destroyed by a surging glacier, which serves as the deadly domain for the evil Ice Lord, Nekron. The only survivor is Larn, a young warrior who vows to avenge this act of destruction. The evil continues, however, as Nekron's palace of ice heads straight towards Fire Keep, the great fortress ruled by the good King Jarol. When Jarol's beautiful daughter, Teegra, is abducted by Nekron's sub-human ape-like creatures, Larn begins a daring search for her. What results is a tense battle between good and evil, surrounded by the mystical elements of the ancient past.

Ah, the taste of glorious 80s fantasy cheese.
Also really the only time Bakshi really nailed rotoscoping. Having Frank Frazetta himself as a contributor helps.
Let's all take a moment to appreciate both that and the fact that male/female fanservice is pretty much equally doled out ...Read more

Let's all take a moment to appreciate both that and the fact that male/female fanservice is pretty much equally doled out as well. Ufda.
This was like an animated Game of Thrones. Good storyline, lots of semi nudity. Win win.
I wachted in and I drank the whole time. Sometimes it's not a fri*cking problem
Some great moments of capturing human emotions, especially in the pursuit scenes. Wonderful colour palette.
Will the world see another artwork of such enduring allure. What would it take to make this same movie in this day in age?
Beautiful rotoscope animation and a simple yet compelling fantasy story. Susan Tyrell kills it (as she always does) as the voice of villainous Juliana. Good for Game of Thrones withdrawal.
