DVD Reviews of Fire and Ice (2-Disc Limited Edition)
DVD Review: Blast from the past!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Randy Norton is my friend and has been for 11 years. It is fun to watch this movie that he made earlier in his career as an actor. He is amazed that it is still around and has the impact as it does with it's little cult following. To watch this movie with him, it is fun to listen to all of the behind the scenes stories he has that are not brought out on the DVD itself! I think it is a great work for it's time and the forrunner for alot of past and present animated features.DVD Review: unimpresed
Summary: 3 Stars
To be fair, I bought this DVD mainly for the bonus disc with the Painting with fire DVD, however, I did want to see the movie. I was unimpressed with both! The movie is extremely trite and limited in inspiration. One thing I found to be really interesting though was in watching the "making of" portion of the bonus features I discovered that the two background painters for the film were non other than Thomas Kinkade (a hack, in my opinion) and the great James Gurney.
The Painting with Fire DVD was also a disappointment. While I knew going into it that the documentary would of course be casting Frazetta in a positive light I had no idea they would portray him as they did. It seemed to like the filmmakers wanted to give the impression that Frazetta is some sort of Divine hand gracing our eyes with his beautiful images. What's even more absurd is that Frank seems to believe that himself. At one point in the DVD he says, and I'm paraphrasing, you wouldn't be able to find anything wrong with any one of his paintings, and he dares us to try. Well, frank how about the fact that you paint the same body type, men and women, all in similar compositions and have been for the last 45 years. All that being said, I am a fan of Frazetta, I really am! I do like his paintings, although I am willing to see the flaws in them. With this DVD I was hoping to learn more about his working process and less about how great Frank Frazetta is, I know how good he is, I can see his paintings, I want to know how he makes them, and I just didn't get that from this DVD.
DVD Review: Don't hunt for death boy,it finds us all soon enough.
Summary: 5 Stars
One Of the BEST fantasy films to come out of the early eighties! This was the boom time for all fantasy/sci-fi movies! They all have this "earthy" feel to them that you don't get with the fantasy/sc-fi of today. I miss that. Anyway,this movie is just pure awesomeness,from the opening scenes to the climactic fight at the end and everything in between,just magic. The movie has done VERY well making the jump from vhs to dvd. Nothing is missing at all. And the bonus disc has a documentary about THE fantasy illustrator of all time,Frank Frazetta! Very interesting to watch. All In all,just a great movie to add to your collection. I've been looking for this for years after my vcr ate my tape. I was so happy when i found it here on dvd! Go buy this movie,you'll be happy you did!DVD Review: The five stars are for the Animation.
Summary: 5 Stars
The story was okay, but why I gave this film five stars is primarily for Teegra, the female in need of rescue. DVD Review: Fire & Ice......"A must have for any Frank Frazetta & Ralph Bakshi fans!"
Summary: 5 Stars
Fire & Ice is the combination of action, suspense, drama, mythical beasts, strong barbarians, voluptuous maidens, warlords, and witchcraft.
The character creations in this movie is nothing short of a masterful piece of work! If your looking for any 1 reason to buy this movie(guys),
"Teegra" in her barely there outfit is worth the price of admission alone! There's also another woman at the beginning of the movie in a skimpy outfit(not quite as skimpy as Teegra's, but very nice) where you get a very brief rump shot when the subhuman hits her in the back of her legs with the handle part of his spear. The redhaired witch in the movie is very nice as well! All perversion aside though, if your a comic book fan or just love anything to do with animation and mythical storytelling, Fire & Ice is a great addition to your video collection!

Description of Fire and Ice (2-Disc Limited Edition)
From The Director Of The Original Animated LORD OF THE RINGS And The Illustrator Of CONAN THE BARBARIANIt began as a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between two of the greatest icons of the fantasy genre: Controversial animator Ralph Bakshi (director of FRITZ THE CAT, WIZARDS and the original THE LORD OF THE RINGS) and legendary illustrator Frank Frazetta (creator of the iconic CONAN THE BARBARIAN, VAMPIRELLA and Edgar Rice Burroughs book covers). It became - and remains - one of the most startling animation epics of all time. Now experience a world unlike any ever seen, where savage warriors, horrific monsters and luscious maidens battle for the soul of a civilization in a time of good and evil, pleasure and pain, and FIRE & ICE
This long-unavailable cult favorite has been remastered in High Definition from the original vault materials, remixed in stunning 6.1 DTS-ES and 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround EX, and loaded with exciting Extras.
Disc 2 contains FRAZETTA: PAINTING WITH FIRE, the acclaimed 93 minute documentary that explores the remarkable life and career of the man who changed fantasy art forever.
Archer Winsten, NEW YORK POST
"Fantastic Monsters, Nightmarish Visions And Gobs Of Action!"
The mighty-muscled heroes and big-bottomed babes of fantasy artist Frank Frazetta inspired animator Ralph Bakshi (Fritz the Cat, Wizards) to create the swords-and-sorcery epic Fire and Ice. Bakshi uses a technique called rotoscoping, which uses live-action film of actors as the template for animation, allowing him to put realistic action into fantastic environments. The verisimilitude of movement in a cartoon can be startling, but that's about all Fire and Ice has to offer; the wafer-thin story, overwrought characters, and clumsy dialogue are vapid cliches. Of much greater interest are the extras in this two-disc set, including a making-of feature that demonstrates the painstaking process of rotoscoping; enthusiastic commentary from Bakshi, who's a jovial, down-to-earth guy with a thick Brooklyn accent; deliriously fatuous diary notes from one of the actors; and a feature-length documentary called Frazetta: Painting with Fire, which reveals the artist to be more intriguing than any of the barbarians he's famous for. The effusive praise of other fantasy artists and "Frazetta historians" occasionally veers into Spinal Tap territory, but it's fascinating watching Frazetta turn from a 1950s James-Dean-style tough guy into the king of fantasy art. Though his work is often dismissed as adolescent kitsch, the documentary persuasively argues that Frazetta deservedly dominates his corner of the art world. --Bret Fetzer
