The Castle of Cagliostro

Written by Nic Wistreich on 13 January 2006. Posted in Feature film

Early work by Hideo Miyazaki is cheap fun but lacks the depth admirers of the animation master will recognise in his later works.

Director: Hideo Miyazaki

Country of origin: Japan

Length: 110 mins

Format (DV, 35mm, etc): animation

Genre: action fairy tale

Film website: www.manga.co.uk

From any other director this would be a film to write home about - at least if you're an animation fan. But this early work from Miyazaki betrays its commercial roots
