Summary: Fritz the Cat and Heavy Traffic helmer Ralph Bakshi subsequently directed a controversial,
animated feature Coonskin (aka Streetfight, 1975). Bakshi opens and closes the film with a live-action
tale that stars Scatman Crothers, Miami Vice's Philip Michael Thomas, Charles Gordone, Barry White;
it recounts the adventures of three African-American men who escape from prison are later gathered
up. In between, an animated tale has animal characters: stereotypically black traits.

Brother Rabbit
(voiced by Tubbs), Brother Fox (voiced by Gordone), and Brother Bear (voiced by White) - entering a
white-dominated ghetto environment and diverging into different paths; 1 becomes a crime overlord,
the second sells the first out to La Cosa Nostra, and the third establishes himself as a media-exploited
sports icon. Completely misread as: racist work upon release, a film actually entails Bakshi's satirical
excoriation of bigotry via the tongue-in-cheek use of black urban stereotypes. The director laces film
with profane ghetto dialogue and street slang; though animated, this isn't a picture for children.

Variety wrote of the work, "Beyond Bakshi's cinem style, his stories seem haunted by a worldliness tha's
torn between cynicism and tortured humanism. There is heart in his plots, superficial putdown's absent.

What is present [is] the evidently sincere empathy of a social surgeon."
