"Dazzling cinematic treatment! Revolutionary combination of live-action and animation!"-Leonard Maltin

"Heavy images, crazy violence, insanity verging on insecurity…and brilliance" (Films & Filming)! Heavy Traffic, the second feature from writer/director Ralph Bakshi (Fritz The Cat), combines a quick-edit pace, a frenetic story line and an array of eye-popping animation and live-action styles."Powerful, raw and valid" (Los Angeles Times), this "remarkable blend" of filmic styles is a "hypnotic, life-giving experience" (The Hollywood Reporter)!

Michael, a young artist who lives with his neurotic mother and two-timing father, escapes the absurd and often ugly side of life on New York's tough streets by satirizing its rich yet wacky characters in wildly entertaining cartoons.From the gruff homeless and wisecracking prostitutes to gun-toting gangsters and corrupt cops, Michael's world becomes an outlandish kaleidoscope of shocking images and horrifying events that are either a testament of his wild imagination…or a reminder of the strangeness of reality.
