ルパン三世 カリオストロの城
John Grant writes in his book "Masters of Animation" that "[the] overall affect [sic] of the animation is akin to that of the great anime creators – one has to keep reminding oneself that "Wizards" predates Miyazaki's "The Castle of Cagliostro" (1979), not the other way round. [...] The backgrounds [...] are especially lovely, even the simplest of them; and in general the movie has a strong visual "brio" despite occasional technical hurriedness." Notable artists involved in the production of Wizards include Ian Miller, who produced the gloomy backgrounds of Scortch, and Mike Ploog, who contributed likewise for the more arcadian landscapes of Montagar.
