About this movie

Celebrated sword-and-sorcery artist Frank Frazetta teams up with animation director Ralph Bakshi for this high-energy animated fantasy. It's a prehistoric battle of the elements as the dissolute ruler of the Ice World, Nekron (Sean Hannon), starts a war against the fire people using a massive, advancing glacier and armies of subhuman monsters as his weapons. When he arranges to have the fire king's shapely daughter, Teegra (Cynthia Lenke), kidnapped, the adventure begins as she escapes her captors and hooks up with Lorn (Randy Norton), lone survivor of an earlier skirmish. With the aid of a mysterious dark warrior (based on Frazetta's famous painting "The Death Dealer"), Lorn and Teegra fight the armies of Nekron as well as giant monsters, lesbian sorcerers, and other comic book delights. A thunderous classical score by William Kraft adds excitement to this violent, sexy, fast-moving film. It also benefits from unusual animation techniques that nicely complement the far-out imaginations of Frazetta, Bakshi, and screenwriters Roy Thomas and Gerry Conway.

Ratings and reviews

If you like animation, well this is the movie for you. This is one serious movie. The attention to detail is the best, in fact it's about 20yrs ahead of its time. Their are two versions, the original VHS, and now DVD. The DVD has been reedited into a slightly different scene order, and that makes clear slime doubts if question over Neuron's parentage. I have recommended tugs movie at almost every turn. Watch and enjoy.

I've loved this movie ever since my best friend showed it to me. I loved it so much she gave me her copy when she didn't want it anymore. It was on VHS so I was really excited when I found it on Google play.

Old school acting much ahead of its time. Brilliant animation (hand drawn ) and interesting plot not a pass the time type of movie. Watch it you won't regret spending some time with the well made characters especially Nekron.
