"The Castle of Cagliostro follows gentleman thief Arsène Lupin III, who successfully robs a casino - only to find the money to be counterfeit. He heads to the tiny country of Cagliostro, the rumored source of the bills, and attempts to save the runaway Clarisse from the Count Cagliostro's men. Lupin enlists his associates, Jigen and Goemon, and sends his calling card to the Count to get Inspector Zenigata, his longtime nemesis, to the castle. After becoming trapped in dungeon under the castle, Lupin and Zenigata form a pact to escape and foil the Count's counterfeit operation and save Clarisse from her forced marriage to the Count."
Such a wonderful animation film even if you are not a fan of Lupin the third. It was quite fun to see Hayao Miyazaki's first film as I am a big fan of his. The animation was good you can tell that he also added more humanistic struggle to the characters which one of the things he is best known for. I watched the Lupin the 3rd TV show as a child and I kind enjoyed this film despite the changes made to the characters. This world was completely beautiful with a mixture of serene movements and action scenes. If you have seen any of Hayao Miyazaki movies it might interest you too see this movie, so you can see how he got started as a director.
4.5/5
