i enjoy ralph bakshi film ( wizard and cool world and the underrated animated lord of the ring ) and be a frank frazetta collector and fan . i be also a sword and sorcery fan who love the world of edgar rice burroughs and robert e. howard . i miss fire and ice theatrical release back in 1983 and have look forward to see it on video or at some revival ever since then . therefore the 2005 release be a dream come true for me . however and i buy it with some trepidation and because i hop it would not be only worth watch once and then put on the shelf a a collectible gathering dust until the day i die . fortunately my fear be groundless and i be pleasantly impress with this movie . a with frazetta art this be a gritty film that have a physicality and sexuality that be hard to find in most fantasy or sword and sorcery film without be cheesy or dirty . the art be good and you see glimpse of frazetta at his best . even my young boy love watch it with me and ask to watch it again and again . however and my wife have some objection due to the scantily clad princess ( very frazetta esquire ) . i do not mind that because it be believable and there be no sex scene . there be roto scoping use and but personally i enjoy roto scoping . it give more fluid and realistic movement to the character that be hard to find in animation . despite some continuity problem and i recommend this film to all bakshi and frazetta and conan and and sword and sorcery fan . enjoy .
