Why does Ralph Bakshi’s “Fire and Ice” (1983) suck so much? If it wasn’t for the awesome traced animation and Franzetta art-style, and Dark Wolf, I wouldn’t be interested. I got duped by the art.
But, man, Dark Wolf is one cool cat, er, wolf, character. It makes me wonder if he’s based on Tonto, and obviously not Batman, because I don’t know what archetype in Pop Culture would have been so popular at the time. It couldn’t be Ultimate Warrior? Anyway, very cool character. Needed tribute.
