	Movies - Fire and Ice

Fire and Ice, released in 1983, was a collaboration between cult heroes (and friends) Ralph Bakshi and Frank Frazetta, distributed by 20th Century Fox, who also distributed the 1977 Bakshi hit 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. Famous painter Thomas Kinkade also worked on the backgrounds to various scenes.

The film flopped at the box office, but later became a cult classic among fans of the film's two creators. 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 .
