{"product_id":"coonskin-this-is-it-folks","title":"Coonskin - This is it folks","description":"\u003cp\u003eFew animated films have courted controversy as brazenly — or as brilliantly — as Ralph Bakshi's \u003cem\u003eCoonskin\u003c\/em\u003e (1975), also known as \u003cem\u003eStreet Fight\u003c\/em\u003e. A ferocious, acid-dipped satire that tears through American pop culture, racial stereotypes, organized crime, and the sugar-coated mythology of Disney musicals, this is Bakshi operating at full creative fury. Equal parts provocation and poetry, \u003cem\u003eCoonskin\u003c\/em\u003e skewers its targets with a sharp wit and an unflinching eye — offending everyone in equal measure and pulling absolutely no punches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe film follows three Harlem antiheroes — Rabbit, Bear, and Fox — as they claw their way to the top of the criminal underworld, dismantling a corrupt Black con man, a virulently racist white cop, and the entrenched Mafia godfather standing in their way. Their rise is framed within a live-action prologue set outside a Southern prison, where an older inmate spins their tale to pass the time while a young man plots his escape. The result is a singular fusion of gritty street realism and hallucinatory animated sequences that remains unlike anything else in the history of American animation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eComing on the heels of \u003cem\u003eFritz the Cat\u003c\/em\u003e (1972), \u003cem\u003eHeavy Traffic\u003c\/em\u003e (1973), and \u003cem\u003eStreet Fight\u003c\/em\u003e (1974), \u003cem\u003eCoonskin\u003c\/em\u003e represents the creative apex of Bakshi's groundbreaking run — a filmmaker who did for animation what Fellini did for live action: shattered convention and rebuilt it on his own uncompromising terms. Essential viewing for collectors of cult cinema, underground art, and the most audacious chapter of 1970s American filmmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirector\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRalph Bakshi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDVD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnimation \/ Cult \/ Satire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlaxploitation, Underground Animation, Social Commentary\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1975\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlso Known As\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStreet Fight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"DVD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49566510285059,"sku":"876543224773","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/5439\/7187\/files\/PXL_20260904_185801847.jpg?v=1788548589","url":"https:\/\/healthymentalme.com\/products\/coonskin-this-is-it-folks","provider":"Retro Reel Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
