Heavy Traffic 1-Disc Box Set DVD

Heavy Traffic is a 1973 adult animated theatrical feature directed by Ralph Bakshi that drops viewers into a gritty urban setting where a young aspiring cartoonist navigates the chaos of his immediate New York surroundings, with the production blending live-action footage and hand-drawn animation to deliver its distinctive register. With voice work from Joseph Kaufmann, Beverly Hope Atkinson, and Frank DeKova, the production commits fully to its register, refusing to soften its source ambitions and treating its provocative urban premise with the kind of seriousness adult animation at its best can sustain.
