Frazetta and Bakshi

Outstanding... it is a masterpiece of its time. The details and the beauty of human figures are so smoothly pictured here. It is truly one of the best animated movies ever made. The gesture and motion is perfect and look at those brush strokes background whenever the casts run. So beautifully made.

It is a mature movie and intended to be appreciated maturely...
