    Castle 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 stil...( read more)l 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.

    A very fun ride from start to finish, Miyazaki knows how to combine action and heart.

    The character's acrobatic skills allow for the fast flowing of likable events.

    This movie in the Lupin the 3rd series is highly acclaimed, yet I couldn't make it through the movie and kept having to do other things. That would have been fine, but I never felt like I "had" to come back and finish it - which I never did, sorry Lupin.

    I had to watch this movie because I LOOOOVE Lupin III and his gang! Even though Lupin is known for its "bad animation" its the plot and dialogue that makes Lupin so entertaining. But with this movie you have that, plus the combination of Hayao Miyazaki's award-winning work and it...( read more)s just doubly enjoyable. I think I've seen almost every Lupin movie, and if you enjoy comedic anime with a good plot, definitely check "Cagliostro"

    I 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 ...( read more)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...
