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 a young warrior, Larn, 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.

Bakshi's never been one to shy away from cartoony T&A. This just isn't a good fantasy movie, weird rotoscoping or not. Whether it was considered a success at the time or not, it seems more a way to just show off the technique than anything else.

I don't know if "Fire and Ice" was ever impressive on a technical level, but there are certainly much older animated films that have aged considerably better. The elaborate rotoscoping process used here just doesn't work. The animations look incredibly strange and ugly. I don't like the art style in any other way either. The main female character's outfit, in particular, is disastrous, and I couldn't get anything else out of the film visually. Furthermore, it doesn't help that the story is extremely boring for long stretches. It's basically a standard barbarian story with no twists or turns, and the voice acting is pretty poor. In 2023, "Fire and Ice" is really hardly watchable anymore.

"Fire and Ice" is an odd Fantasy film from an even odder director, Ralph Bakshi. An evil sorcerer named Nekron and his evil queen/mother use his powers to attack the land of Fire Keep or something like that. Honestly, if it weren't for the work of famed fantasy artist Frank Frazetta, this whole af More

This needed to be R rated. It teetered on the edge so often that a little push and it would have hit the notes it should have it to be American pop good.

But it's PG, shocking given who created it. It was a darker tone than Lord of the Rings with the same cool anti-Disney animation. But, when it More
