How old and when did you first see this?

I was about 5. I'm 25 now and have been looking for it since I was about 15. I didn't really know how to explain to people what I was looking for since I last saw it when I was about 7, I forgot a lot of it. I'd ask for an animated movie with mutants and Hitler and it threw people off. Even if I had known the name of the movie, it probably wouldn't have helped too much in my search.

I actually stumbled across it one day in F.Y.E. I saw the unmistakable cover art and it struck me what it was that I was looking at and bought it immediately.

Just last year, so I would have been 24 or 25.

I'm a huge fan of animation of many sorts, an amateur artist myself, and I do love the fantasy and sci-fi genres this seems to attempt to fit... I just didn't get much out of this movie.

Some of the animation really is good, and a lot of the background art was great -- but like most of Bakshi's work, the utter lack of coherence killed the whole experience for me. Had the rotoscoping been used more sparingly and integrated better with the traditional animation, it'd have been cool; as it was, it seemed repetitive and intrusive.

The story itself, especially the climax, could certainly be viewed as more realistic than your average fantasy. However, the contradictions in the actions of the main characters had me rolling my eyes during the climax; I couldn't help myself.

If it'd been more cohesive and had more of an edge, I think it would probably rate a lot higher with me... as it is, though, I just wasn't impressed.

I think I was about 17, in the late 80s. I saw Fritz the Cat shortly before that. They both warped my mind. ;-)

I was about 10 or 11. it was 1995. I had just seen Streetfight and Hey Good Lookin'. I found Wizards at the grocery store video store(!). My mom actually told me about Fritz the Cat and how it was rated X. I was shocked but could never find it until a few yrs later. I didnt see heavy traffic till I was about 13. A friend of mine and I ordered fritz the cat off ebay when we were 15.

I remember gettign sonewhat bored with Wizards the first time I saw it. then began to love it.

I saw it when I was 11 or 12 (so, 98 or 99), but I was definitely able to grasp the message of the film. I found it to be very haunting, even if it was a little campy, being twenty years old at the time.
Still, I think it's been one of the more influential movies in my life. If I had kids I'd let them watch it, even if it is violent - the violence serves the message, it isn't like some Schwarzeneggar mindless explosions flick, ya know?

I was eight and saw it in the theater when it first was released.

Goddamit, I'd piss on a Spark Plug if I thought it would do any good! (Wargames, 1983)

I was 14 when the movie came out. My Boy Scout troop was visiting a local airforce base, and they weren't expecting us on Friday night. Our scoutmaster asked, "Well, what's playing at the base theater?", and the rest is history. One boy and his dad got up and left upon the first expletive, but the rest of us loved it! We'd already been exposed (and warped) by Monty Python and the Holy Grail, So this was right down our alley. I remember we all loved the strange, rotoscoped look of the film, the "Fritz" scene, and the end.
Two weeks later, I was bored while my Mom shopped; and got to see the first matinee of Star Wars. What a summer!

I was 22, and I saw it in 1977 in San Francisco. The theatre's air was thick with the smoke and odor of marijuana.
