Why isn't there more animation like this /tv/?

Dunno. That film is great. Wasn't Robert Rodriguez going to make a live action version?

That and the King Conan movie would be such a nice respite from current fantasy flicks, but it seems like we'll never get them.

Last I heard of the remake was from a couple years ago, so I have no idea. I do know that he's a huge fan of Frazetta's art so hopefully if it does happen, he can do it justice.

Budget
$1,200,000 (estimated)

is this expensive for 1983? I don't think so, right? I thought those kind of animations where expensive as fuck

Wizards had the same budget in 1977.

Rock and Rule came out the same year as Fire and Ice and had a budget of 8mil. Secret of NIMH came out in '84 and had a budget of 7mil. So yeah, Bakshi's movies were typically pretty low-budget.

Not a fan of Bakshi but Peter Jackson was an ass for not giving him more credit when he obviously lifted several scenes directly from Bakshi's LOTR

Fun Fact: Bakshi and Frazzeta couldn't find a actress with big enough tits to be the model for Teegra. So those are not rotoscoped.

Rotoscoping is cheaper than hand drawing cells but less cheap in those days than it is with computers.
