Much of the reasons for why the film is what it is usually goes back to the rather limited budgets Bakshi had to use to make the movies he’s made.

Yeah Thomas Kinkade would be best known for those illuminated cottages that make you think these guys must love wasting energy out in the forested woods! He’s recently done some paintings for Disney based on their animated feature classics.

The same podcast also tackled “Cool World” with some more insight into Bakshi and his integrities.

Recently a blog posted a story on Bakshi’s brief stink in the 1960′s up in Canada working on a little-known program that became a cult classic up there.
