MCT:July 2, 2008Castle of Cagliostro may be directed by the great Mitazaki but this certainly isn't in the same league as his Studio Ghibli works. Perhaps it's adapting somebody elses material or being part of a TV and movie saga that dampens his creative side. Whatever the case the film is still a vastly enjoyable caper. The animation hasn't degraded in quality too badly over the years and there are plenty of inventive action sequences and a rather interesting plot. It's certainly not Miyazaki's finest and so should be watched as part of the series or on its own merits rather than as a comparison to his later work.

Proof that Miyazaki has always been a creative genius and he does not necessarily need all the talent at Studio Ghibli to prove it. This was Miyazaki's first full length anime film and while it lacks a lot of his trademark character designs and whimsy, it still has a lot of the same themes from his other films including flight and characters who at first appear evil but then wind up to be good natured. Some of this really feels aged given that its almost thirty years old but the humor and dialogue is still every bit as sharp as it was thirty years ago. Its still no where near as strong as Miyazaki's later efforts and for most people its better to start with those first.

This is probably Miyazaki's worst film, but then as we're talking about Miyazaki that means it's still a cracking film but not as good as his later work. Still , it's highly enjoyable and well worth a watch for fans, it's just lacking that certain something that films like Porco Rosso (it's closest companion) and Spirited Away have in abundance.

MCT:April 20, 2008I think there's no need to have a lot of money on CGI to make a great animated movie... This movie answer it.... It has a great story, too great I thought... Even Danny Ocean would acknowledges that Wolf is better than him.... Pretty, and very shocked that this movie made in the year 1979 because the animation was great if this movie was make in that year.... Very very love the story... Great debut from Hayao Miyazaki... He is a winner when it comes to an animated movies...

La opera prima del director Hayao Miyazaki es una genial aventura, con un colorido diseño y personajes memorables (especialmente nuestro heroe Lupin III, quien, sin duda, es uno de los ladrones mas carismaticos del cine).
A diferencia de sus propuestas mas recientes, realmente no hay un trasfondo espiritual o ecologico en esta cinta, simplemente es pura diversion. Para fans de este brillante director, es una joya que no deben perderse. -

Very good. Shows Miyazaki is capable of light hearted slapstick comedy as well as the other amazing movies he's done and shows how versatile he is and what he's capable of.

Love it. The big minus one is the fact that the hero runs away, and minus two is the bad guy being nothing near creepy or scary. Re-do it properly, and the movie scores full. :)

Miyazaki's first masterpiece, and the most mature and complex plot in his entire filmography. The Castle of Cagliostro is the best and most appropriate film to beging with Miyazaki. Two thumbs up. Lupin III returns from the animated series once again :)

Hilariously ingenious once again, Miyazaki successfully captures all audiences. Doesn't matter what age you are, you'll like it.

MCT:October 2, 2007A fun theif caper. Some great humour and awesome chase scenes. A great debut for the legendary filmaker Hayao Miyazaki.

Lupin III is the classic antihero, and some would argue that this is the best of the films featuring the anime character. Hiyao Miyazaki did an amazing job with his first feature film, and his movies just keep getting better!

Following the trail of counterfeit bills - Lupin is led to the Castle of Cagliostro in which he plans to rescue a princess he has past connections to with the help of his gunman and his samurai friends. Rival thief Fujiko and determined police Inspector Zenigata are also standing in his way of the master thief though so how will it all pan out? This is not a typical Miyazaki movie, it's wacky and comedic and is great fun to watch from the car chases in the mini to the swimming-upwards scene - just simply great fun!

I love Miyazaki more and more with each film of his I see; this one is not quite as fantastic as his others but since it was his first as a director, and is as good as it is, think of what all his others are like!

One of Miyazaki's earliest works, it's one of my favorite movies. Then again, I am a big fan of the Lupin the Third anime series. Fujiko's tits are definately smaller, making her more dignified and Lupin isn't as much of an animal, making him much more likable as well.

LMAO, this film was funny. The ending pissed me off a bit.
Other than that, the film was kinda cool. -
MCT:August 7, 2007
unusual animation style. Saying that it was his first feature. I really like this one. Has a fairy tale feel to it, with princesses and hero's etc.

Very decent early effort from Miyazaki. Can but a bit surreal compared to Western animation but fun throughout.

Its a simple, yet delightful story with endearing characters. Is interesting to see one of miyazaki's first works. I enjoyed watching the little details that have made him so reknown, like the shadows and small thing going on in the background.

A delightful, adventurous romp of a movie. Nothing too deep or mystical, but never the less an enjoyable movie. Reminds me of Hitchcock's movies like To Catch A Thief. Even the soundtrack harkens back to the 60s. Highly reccomended when the mood is light and breezy.

Great for what it is! A fun adventure story.
Odd bouts of subtlety and lovable characters make this film even better!
I brought it on DVD - and haven't regretted it a bit! -

A stunning animated film with a great story and spectacular animation for a 1979 film made in one year.
