The Moody Minstrel said...: I still liked it, though! I saw "Fire and Ice" back in my college days together with some fantasy buffs who were also artists. The fact that Frazetta helped make the move was like pure ecstacy to these people.

I thought it was fun, especially when the (virtually naked) princess is brought to the evil prince by his mother. She says, "She's to be your wife." The princess then launches into a sweet testimonial about peace, etc.. He responds by saying scornfully, "What is that...?" It was so beautifully anticlimactic!; September 16, 2008 at 6:41 AM
SamuraiFrog said...: I saw this movie in high school, in an art class. The whole class burst out laughing when the virtually naked princess looks at the approaching glacier and says "It's so cold."

I love this movie, especially the score.; September 16, 2008 at 7:19 AM

ladybug said...: Hmm, Looks like the real question for a guy here is "bewbies" or "butts" - in this pic, you get both.

So win/win for ya'll!:D

The Moody Minstrel said...: Ladybug, you reminded me of that girl in my high school days who, before a class started, was ranting on and on about what a dumb movie "Heavy Metal" was. When I countered that I thought it was "excellent", she looked at me with raw contempt and said, "You just got off on the boobs, right?"; September 17, 2008 at 6:41 AM
The Moody Minstrel said...: Incidentally, I heard that Frazetta used his own daughter as his main model for his artwork. I wonder how many Freud disciples would have a heyday with THAT.; September 17, 2008 at 6:43 AM
Dr. Zaius said...: Ralph Bakshi sucks. It's all rotoscoped. :o(; September 20, 2008 at 2:32 AM
Faded said...: i remember watching this over and over as a kid. I think I stole it from the movie store, in fact. Very cool; September 22, 2008 at 9:11 PM
