This right here makes me sad.

I smell another kickstarter to secure the distribution rights to some of your more obscure things!

Hello Mr. Bakshi! first of all, thanks for taking the time to come by and answer some of our questions, its always a pleasure to hear what one of your heroes has to say.

I had the pleasure of listening to you speak at the convention in Dallas last year, and was lucky enough to ask your briefly about your live action work and specifically "This Ain't Bebop". My question is this: Whats a guy got to do to watch this thing!? Do you guys ever plan to screen it again in Silver City? Any chance it will ever get a home video release, even as a bonus feature on a future blu-ray (or a late added kickstarter incentive!), or are the licensing issues with PBS not worth the trouble. From what I've read, and the few frames I've seen, it seems like an incredibly personal work and something I would do nearly anything in my power to see(as a fan of the Beat Generation and Ralph Bakshi its like a dream). Thanks again for stopping by and doing an AMA, and keep up the great work!

Edit: Just wanted to say, I love The Cool and the Crazy. Took me forever to track down a copy!

Edit2: Also, you may want to stop by Reddit.com/r/animation There is a large amount of amateur animators putting up their work. You called for people to send you their reels, maybe you'll find something you like here.

This is amazing news! Thanks for the reply!
