	Amazon.co.uk: Ralph Bakshi's Coon Skin: Video
		Be prepared to shocked at some scenes [the portrayal of the female gender in this film leaves a lot to be desired], but this film was made for adults.
		Let me say this; if you want a film that is rude, sassy, funny, violent, original and intelligent, a film that is a snapshot of a unique period in American history - then 'Coonskin' is that film.
		Anyway - enough long words and explanations - you want a review!

	Coonskin - Movie Tome
		The film was greeted with a hailstorm of negative publicity by a well-organized political action group (CORE) and was yanked from theaters by the distributers within a week of its release.
		You can take a look at two rejected poster concepts by Paramount, pics from the film, and a couple of early sketches, and you can purchase a copy of the film.
		Originally released as Coonskin, Street Fight is the allegerical tale of three hustlers who move into Harlem and squeeze the local Godfather out of the rackets.

	Metroactive Movies Ralph Bakshi
		We were showing Coonskin at the Museum of Modern Art, and the Committee on Racial Equality [CORE] surrounds the building-no one had seen the film yet.
		He sent me this roll of film showing people running out of the theater.
		I was also very young and naïve when I made Coonskin, naïve enough to think that everything would be OK as long as I was honest.

	Black Star Video presents - Coonskin
		The most conterversial of the foursome was "Coonskin" now retitled "Street Fight", this film is not only Bakshi's masterpiece but arguably the greatest piece of animation ever created.
		Written and directed by Bakshi the film is a brilliant acid satire of pop culture.
		Ever since the ultra-notorious 'X-rated and animated" cult classic "Fritz The Cat" hit the screens of 1972, animation auteur Ralph Bakshi, in only four pictures ("Fritz The Cat", Heavy Traffic, "Street Fight" and "American Pop") shook up American animation like Fellini shook up live action.

	Ralph Bakshi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was the first animated feature film to receive an X rating in the United States, and it was unquestionably aimed primarily at adult audiences—something that had been unheard of in the years before its release.
		The financial success of Fritz the Cat gave Bakshi the opportunity to produce two more adult-oriented feature films, Heavy Traffic and Coonskin, which revealed Bakshi's interest in black history in America (another subject largely overlooked by Hollywood movie studios).
		Coonskin opened in 1975 with a screening at Museum of Modern Art in NYC to much controversy and protests by the Congress of Racial Equality.

		Coonskin, delivered in the format of Disney's controversial film Song of the South, is a spoof of blaxploitation films (named not because they exploited blacks, but because white producers used the fact that there were black actors in these films to sell tickets).
		Coonskin is one of the angriest, and most well-made animated films of all time.
		There are two different versions of Coonskin in circulation: a 99 minute version released on tape in Holland, and the far more common 83 minute version (just released on video in the UK by MIA).

	Coonskin [1975] @ EOFFTV
		Coonskin is probably the best of Ralph Bakshi's feature films and certainly the most contentious.
		Full of anger and outrage, it's a much misunderstood film thanks to its confrontational title and the startling images of racism it presents.
		In live action sequences, a convict tells the story [shown in animation] of a rabbit, a fox and a bear who move to Harlem and encounter all kinds of problems with gangsters, corrupt police and racists.
