IMDb profile

Fire and Ice, released in 1983, was a collaboration between Ralph Bakshi and Frank Frazetta, distributed by 20th Century Fox, who also distributed 1977's Wizards. The animated feature, based on characters Bakshi and Frazetta co-created was made using the process of rotoscoping, in which scenes were shot in live action and then traced onto animation cels.

The screenplay was written by Gerry Conway and Roy Thomas, two writers for Marvel Comics. Background animator was James Gurney, the author and artist of the famous Dinotopia illustrated novels. Thomas Kinkade also worked on the backgrounds to various scenes.

The film was neither financially nor critically successful, but later became a cult classic among fans of the film's two creators. In 2003, the Online Film Critics Society ranked the film as the 99th greatest animated film of all time.<ref name="OFCS">Top 100 Animated Features of All Time at the Online Film Critics Society website.</ref> In 2005, it was released on DVD by Blue Underground Entertainment on a limited edition two-disc set, paired with the documentary Frazetta: Painting With Fire, about the film's co-creator and producer, Frank Frazetta<ref>Fire and Ice at the official Blue Underground website.</ref>
