The Blu-ray transfer is solid, although owners of the 2-disc DVD set may want to hang on to that documentary.

DVD Review

Its ambiguously gay villain notwithstanding, Fire and Ice just doesn't hold the weight, either visually or thematically, that its creators probably hoped it would.

DVD Review

A worn if decently stitched together amalgamation of fantasy clich�... the movie's occasional visual punch is undeniable.

Fire and Ice plays like a longer, slower He-Man and the Masters of the Universe episode - with of course the bonus of Bakshi's dependable booty fixation.

I wanted more from this movie, being a fan of Bakshi's I expected something really cool looking, modern, edgy, and controversial. This is a more traditional fantasy adventure, and while it has some scary characters and a bit of nudity, it's not that good. It's not bad, the animation is good, but the story is bad.

Very cool movie, for pure entertainment it's amazing. Sure it's not loaded with intelligence, but it's a lot more refreshing than a Disney adventure with singing and morals. This is more in the reign of Heavy Metal in that there's a ton of sexuality and violence. The Frank Frazetta backdrops are utterly breath-taking,
