I must have been a teenager when I first stumbled across Fritz the Cat. The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat to be specific (which was a sequel to the first film and had no involvement from the original author). I was alone and awake at 1 am when it came on AMC and I was completely blown away by the sense of “can they do that!?” the entire time. It would be years later that I eventually discovered the original film, Fritz the Cat which may not have been as shocking but was definitely the better of the two films with its blunt-force approach to big issues.

But if we’re talking films that warped little furry minds back in the day, we should be talking about Animalympics. I was probably 7 or 8 when I first saw it and I was equal parts confused and fascinated by it. Certainly a must-discover for any furry who loves classic animation.
