Hey Good Lookin'

Live-action footage was shot as part of Ralph Bakshi's original vision to have the film be a combination of live-action and animated characters (like Qui veut la peau de Roger Rabbit? (1988)). The only animated characters were Vinnie, Rozzi, Crazy, and Eva. The rest of the cast were live action characters shot on live action sets. This version was finished in the late 1970s. When it was initially shown to Warner Brothers executives, they told Bakshi that they loved it. A week later, they told Bakshi that the idea of having live-action and animated characters in the same frame would never work, as it was too unbelievable. Warner executives also referenced the controversy from Bakshi's film "Coonskin" (1975). He was forced to throw out all the live action footage and reanimate it. Bakshi, having to pay himself, took five more years to complete it around other projects before its official release in 1982.

At 52m 44s (on the DVD) Rozzie's left breast's nipple & areola are noticeably out of her shirt; only the areola and nipple are her base skin color instead. Just a few seconds earlier, she had completely tucked her chest into her shirt.
