Adult Animation. That is exactly how I would describe Ralph Bakshi's Fritz the Cat (1972) as. Bakshi’s film is an animated exploration of the hippie/ free love movement, the race relations, and the ideological debate of the mid-1960s New York City.

Graceshous Shearon For me, when things stopped being considered as art, is pretty much sprinkled throughout most of America’s art history and it is sadly at the end of European’s art history. So, for both America and Europe there was not a long period where things did not seem like art.
