Joseph Kaufmann stars as the 22-year-old pinball loving virgin Michael, who crosses paths with an array of colorful characters including a masochistic nymphomaniac named Snowflake and violent Italian mafioso the film also depicts the young artist as he and his love interest Carole turn to a life of crime in order to survive.ĭespite its X-rating and bawdy content, Heavy Traffic became Bakshi's greatest critical success and earned positive reviews from critics, and the filmmaker became the first person in animation history since Walt Disney to release two profitable films back-to-back (with Fritz the Cat having been released the previous year). These are the raunchiest animated movies for adults.įritz the Cat director Ralph Bakshi once again served up an entertainingly filthy flick when he helmed the 1973 adult animated drama Heavy Traffic, which follows aspiring cartoonist Michael Corleone as he attempts to find inspiration for his craft through various interactions with unsavory individuals he meets on the streets of New York City. However, those adaptations only scratch the surface. Many beloved animated television shows have gone on to release big-screen adaptations, such as The Simpsons, which brought adult-geared animation to the height of its popularity, along with obscene Comedy Central darling South Park and MTV classic Beavis and Butt-Head.

The genre and style of storytelling gives adults the best of both worlds: the nostalgic feeling that comes with watching a cartoon paired with outrageous and downright dirty humor. Some of cinema’s most famous (and infamous) flicks just so happen to be animated pictures aimed at a more mature audience. Over the years, film studios have gotten more brazen and open-minded with the content they release. From that point on, animated flicks in the mainstream weren’t just a children’s medium. One of the first and undeniably filthiest animated films of all time was Fritz the Cat, a 1972 adult black comedy that became a pioneer for future animated works for adults.
Who says that animated movies are solely for kids? Going back to the 1929 cartoon Eveready Harton in Buried Treasure and through the years of sex-symbol Betty Boop and gross-out Howard the Duck, animation has attempted to appeal to adults in different ways over the years, though without much mainstream success until the '70s and '80s.
