Wii_Shaker 03/13/21 3:45:29 AM #1:	Animator, director and producer Ralph Bakshi (b. 1938) has been named the winner of the 31st World Festival of Animated Film Animafest Zagreb Lifetime Achievement Award. The 2021 edition is slated to take place in the Croatian capital from June 7-12 (www.animafest.hr). Bakshi will be presented with the award during the opening ceremony. Bakshi is a unique phenomenon in the world of cinema, and one of the most influential auteurs on the global animation scene. His films nine features made over a span of seven decades can still delight, maybe shock, but definitely enthrall viewers, transporting them to fantastical realms or cruel city streets. Fritz the Cat (1972), Heavy Traffic (1973), Wizards (1977), The Lord of the Rings (1978), American Pop (1981) and Cool World (1992), to name a few, are still entertaining and inspiring audiences today. https://www.animationmagazine.net/features/news-bytes-honoring-ralph-bakshi-exec-moves-efm-sales-more/ (scroll down) Ralph Bakshi is often also credited for "inventing" the rotoscoping technique of animation. It's truly a shame he isn't recognized more for being the prolific animator he is. --- "He busted in, blessed be the Lord Who believe any mess they read up on a message board" -MF DOOM 1970-2020 (G.O.A.T.) <cite>Wii_Shaker posted [p:951660754] in Ralph Baks...
