Ralph Bakshi was and is a director, writer, animator and much more. While plenty of his film endeavors ended in flops, he did have a reasonable amount of success with films like Cool World (1991) and Wizards (1977). I personally know of him because of his rendition of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings(1978).
Sure, there are silly moments like this one, but there is also plenty of SUPER cool, and dark imagery.

While Bakshi started his animation career with TV shows for children, his interests later turned to more... adult themes, we'll say. With more adult geared animated films such as Fritz the Cat (1972) and Cool World (1991), both R rated films, Fritz the Cat's tagline being "He's X-Rated and Animated!" His work not only paved the way for Peter Jackson's most popular film series and Seth McFarland's whole shtick.
