A spellbinding ride through Bond-style intrigue and OTT action, 'The Castle of Caglisotro' is, perhaps, anime's finest non-science-fiction film. The attention to detail is quite awe-inspiring, matched by the depth and humour of the lead character - lovable rogue and thief Lupin III. Director Hayao Miyazaki, who went on to co-found the legendary Studio Ghibli, clearly had the time of his life making this movie. Like Walt Disney before him he knows how to inject just the right mix of menace into his baddies, whilst keeping the kids consistently amused with the central plot and adults stunned and awed with the fantastic pre-CG visuals on display. Calglisotro was the first animated feature to be screened at Cannes back in 1980 and Steven Spielberg was allegedly blown away when first he clapped eyes on this animated gem. It's easy to see why, 'The Castle of Cagliostro' is fantastic entertainment and ample proof that anime isn't 'just for the kids'. Fantastic, funny, funky fun...
