Thieves and a princess

The Castle of Cagliostro (1979)

Directed by Hayao Miyazaki this film based on the manga series Lupin III has English voice acting from Bob Bergen, Joan-Carol O'Connell and Michael McConnohie. A master thief travels to a small country to find the source of counterfeit money and gets involved in saving a princess from a count.

The plot of this film is a fairly standard adventure film with rogues that have a sense of decency. Much of the plot is as you would expect and the central characters are on the wackier end of the spectrum. Miyazaki made his directorial debut with this film and while it may not be up to the standard of his later films it is still a pretty fun effort.


3/5
