tangential thought off "the Bakshi LotR comes this close to being great especially because it cannot do what usually pisses me off about Bakshi films."
A few years ago I'm watching Wizards with @obscurestar and it includes an exclusive interview with Ralph which is more entertaining than the movie. He's got this shirt open with this generous tuft of chest hair poking out, and the interview's classic Ralph. I forget most of it now but the parts I remember are him being unusually self-congradulatory about how wonderful he was to hire a Black animator at that point in time, and how he wanted Wizards to be a more urban fantasy that kids could relate to, not like Disney films which had, and I quote "horses eatin' apples in a field or some shit."
