THE CASTLE OF CAGLIOSTRO
With Miyazaki's characteristic magic touch, the film is a feast of lush European scenery, relentless sequences of death-defying action, and a hint of touching nostalgia. - ANIME WORLD
The first feature film by the distinguished Hayao Miyazaki (Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away), CASTLE OF CAGLIOSTRO also marks the latest instalment in the hugely popular Lupin III animated TV series, of which Miyazaki had written and directed a number of episodes
Here, our iconic super-thief Lupin pulls off a thrilling heist at a Monte Carlo casino, only to discover the spoils are counterfeit. Lupin traces the fake bills to the country of Cagliostro where an evil Count is generating forged money and distributing it worldwide. With partners in tow (including a retired gangster, a modern-day samurai, and a beautiful female thief) Lupin heads to Cagliostro where he also finds a promise of hidden treasure and Clarice, a beautiful Princess in need of rescuing from the Counts dastardly clutches.
Maintaining the lineage of the Lupin III franchise, Miyazaki also imbues the proceedings with his customary wit, and sense of the romantic Miyazakis heroes are always ready to come to the aid of a damsel in distress.
Voice cast includes David Hayter, Kirk Thornton and Bridget Hoffman.
