This Bakshi retrospective book entitled Unfiltered: The Complete Ralph Bakshi (The Force Behind Fritz the Cat, Mighty Mouse, Cool World, and The Lord of the Rings) was release April 1 of this year.

Here’s a tiny excerpt from the interview on BoldType:

BT: Do you see some of the same shifting values [as there were in culture post world war II] when it comes to art?

RB: My whole thing is to just move on. You have to try different things, change styles, test yourself, to try different genres: I went from the blackness of Coonskin , which was largely about race, to the science-fiction style of Wizards , which dealt with the Holocaust. That’s what the challenge of art is all about. Artists have to keep moving on. You have to grow as a person, your reading habits have to change, everything has to go along with changing. And what I despise about Walt Disney is he never moved on.

You MUST read the article to hear Ralphy boy go on to rip Disney a new one.
