After being rejected by various animation studios (such as Creator/DreamWorksAnimation and Creator/{{Pixar}}) Ralph decided to do the film independently. In 2008, he stated that “something was wrong with the whole fucking thing” and put the project on hold, where it remained in DevelopmentHell for a while. In early 2013, Bakshi started a Kickstarter campaign to obtain funding for the film. On March 2 of that year, it reached its goal. It wrapped up animation work in mid 2015, finished post-production work on October 2, and it was released on Vimeo on the 29th - just in time for Bakshi's 77th birthday. A year later he released the film onto his Youtube channel as well. See it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri4iphUqShM here!]]

* BigRottenApple: The film is set in 1960's Brooklyn, and it is ''not'' a pleasant place to live.

* MohsScaleOfViolenceHardness: The scene where Shorty kills his mother and her lover lands firmly on the 10 end of the scale--it is ''very'' gory and it's all shown on-screen. The rest of the film has a lot of brutal cartoon violence, but not to the same extent as that scene.

* {{Gonk}}: All of the characters are designed like this to fit the films atmosphere, but the Coney Island freaks especially stand out.

* RRatedOpening: Just in case you needed a hint that this cartoon is not fun escapist entertainment, it opens up with very dark, grisly scenery and a clip of JFK's assasination being played three times in a row, which also makes it clear that it does ''not'' intend to show a rose tinted view of the 1960's. And if that isn't enough of a hint, one of the first things yoi see a character in the film do is brutally murder his mother on screen for having sex with a clown.
