Movie Reviews of Fire and Ice (2-Disc Limited Edition)
Movie Review: Fire & Ice......"A must have for any Frank Frazetta & Ralph Bakshi fans!"
Summary: 5 Stars
Fire & Ice is the combination of action, suspense, drama, mythical beasts, strong barbarians, voluptuous maidens, warlords, and witchcraft.
The character creations in this movie is nothing short of a masterful piece of work! If your looking for any 1 reason to buy this movie(guys),
"Teegra" in her barely there outfit is worth the price of admission alone! There's also another woman at the beginning of the movie in a skimpy outfit(not quite as skimpy as Teegra's, but very nice) where you get a very brief rump shot when the subhuman hits her in the back of her legs with the handle part of his spear. The redhaired witch in the movie is very nice as well! All perversion aside though, if your a comic book fan or just love anything to do with animation and mythical storytelling, Fire & Ice is a great addition to your video collection!

Summary of Fire and Ice (2-Disc Limited Edition)
The mighty-muscled heroes and big-bottomed babes of fantasy artist Frank Frazetta inspired animator Ralph Bakshi (Fritz the Cat, Wizards) to create the swords-and-sorcery epic Fire and Ice. Bakshi uses a technique called rotoscoping, which uses live-action film of actors as the template for animation, allowing him to put realistic action into fantastic environments. The verisimilitude of movement in a cartoon can be startling, but that's about all Fire and Ice has to offer; the wafer-thin story, overwrought characters, and clumsy dialogue are vapid cliches. Of much greater interest are the extras in this two-disc set, including a making-of feature that demonstrates the painstaking process of rotoscoping; enthusiastic commentary from Bakshi, who's a jovial, down-to-earth guy with a thick Brooklyn accent; deliriously fatuous diary notes from one of the actors; and a feature-length documentary called Frazetta: Painting with Fire, which reveals the artist to be more intriguing than any of the barbarians he's famous for. The effusive praise of other fantasy artists and "Frazetta historians" occasionally veers into Spinal Tap territory, but it's fascinating watching Frazetta turn from a 1950s James-Dean-style tough guy into the king of fantasy art. Though his work is often dismissed as adolescent kitsch, the documentary persuasively argues that Frazetta deservedly dominates his corner of the art world. --Bret FetzerFrom The Director Of The Original Animated LORD OF THE RINGS And The Illustrator Of CONAN THE BARBARIAN
It began as a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between two of the greatest icons of the fantasy genre: Controversial animator Ralph Bakshi (director of FRITZ THE CAT, WIZARDS and the original THE LORD OF THE RINGS) and legendary illustrator Frank Frazetta (creator of the iconic CONAN THE BARBARIAN, VAMPIRELLA and Edgar Rice Burroughs book covers). It became - and remains - one of the most startling animation epics of all time. Now experience a world unlike any ever seen, where savage warriors, horrific monsters and luscious maidens battle for the soul of a civilization in a time of good and evil, pleasure and pain, and FIRE & ICE
This long-unavailable cult favorite has been remastered in High Definition from the original vault materials, remixed in stunning 6.1 DTS-ES and 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround EX, and loaded with exciting Extras.
Disc 2 contains FRAZETTA: PAINTING WITH FIRE, the acclaimed 93 minute documentary that explores the remarkable life and career of the man who changed fantasy art forever.
