1. Yup, I sure do.

Strong Man, Rope Man, Tornado Man, Cuckoo Man, and Diaper Man.

It was the brainchild of legendary animator Ralph Bakshi. The story goes that the Terrytoons staff were pitching series proposals to CBS, their parent company, only to have them all rejected. When the CBS representatives asked if there were any other proposals, Bakshi, a young animator invited to the meeting, spoke up and improvised "The Mighty Heroes" on the spot.

7. "Fritz The Cat", the first X rated cartoon.

"Heavy Traffic", "American Pop", "Wizards", "Cool World", and the first film version of "The Lord of the Rings".

He made the new version of "Mighty Mouse" on Saturday morning TV that got Rev. Donald Wildmon's panties in a bunch (alleged that Mighty Mouse was shown using opium!). Just for pissing off the right people, he deserves some props.
