Talk:The Castle of Cagliostro

message: Why is there no mention in the Cultural Influence section that Jigen is used as a character in Episode 39 of Samurai Jack?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:6C42:7E3F:438C:E540:DB04:846C:6B8 (talk) 04:37, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

message: Is 'goat bills' right translation? I thought it's 'Goth bills' or something.
If you listen to the Japanese-language version, they are clearly saying "goat" or more specifically "Gootu", which is the same word they use in describing the ram's head insignia where the rings must be placed, it's pretty clear it's supposed to be "Goat" --Wingsandsword 00:20, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

message: The "The Castle of Cagliostro's Ratings"-box is horrible. It takes up half the article's width, is very high and is mostly filled with nothing - what a waste of screen realestate. It also strikes me that a list of ratings is not really that useful, at least not near the top of the article. Most people who read this article are probably more interested in the rest of the content and to them the ratings box is just a hindrance. If we really wanted such extensive rating information on every film, it would be part of the Infobox Film (in some kind of compact format). Shinobu 12:00, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Contrary to rumors, Monkey Punch in fact likes Castle of Cagliostro.
He stated so in an interview with the Anime News Network,
although he does not completely agree with Miyazaki's interpretation.
It should also be noted that Monkey Punch and Miyazaki are good friends. 
 
Here is Monkey Punch's exact quote,
"I particularly like Miyazaki's Castle of Cagliostro.
I really enjoy that work and I just like him and another famous manga artist in Japan,
Testegawa-sama, their works, I enjoy them from a distance.
I don't try to do it myself; I enjoy it from a distance." 
 
The Interview: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature.php?id=164 
 
In Castle of Cagliostro, Miyazaki is portraying Lupin during the twilight of his career
where he is looking for fullfillment that he cannot find in thievery.
That is why he is kinder and seems bemused by his past. 
 
My information comes from the Lupin III Yahoo group
is ran by Luis Cruz (Lupin Encyclopedia) and Reed Nelson (Lupin the Third.net).
It is one of the the most reliable sources for Lupin on the Internet.

If you look at the pictures of Princess Nori's wedding dress, it does not actually look like Clarisse's wedding dress. I realize it was published as fact in Mainichi Shimbun, but the dress doesn't even look like it! Ont eh other hand, actress Yuki Ichida did have a replica made for her wedding:  http://animenewsnetwork.com/news/2002-12-12/japanese-actress-does-cosplay-at-wedding

thread_title: Monkey Punch does not hate this movie

message: I believe Duchy of Cagliostro will never have more content than already exists there and can be easily incorporated in this article.  There were merge tags on these pages for nearly a year, then $yD! did the merge and an IP user reverted.  A consensus should be established on whether to have one or two articles.  --Selket Talk 00:17, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge from [[Duchy of Cagliostro]] 

message: Likewise, the removal of the triva and incorporation of such into the article is ridiculous.  Most pages of any length on wikipedia have trivia sections; unless a widescale reformatation of the site is proposed, I think there is no harm in keeping this modest-sized trivia section.  Thank you for your time. Nagyss 03:24, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The thing is, the Wikipedia guidelines (as linked from that template) state that well-developed pages shouldn't have trivia sections. If Castle of Cagliostro is to be recognized as a Featured Article someday, it will need to conform to the standards set by Wikipedia guidelines. --Robotech_Master 21:43, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trivial incorporation 

message: I was just watching Secret files (Trailers for Mamo/Cagliostro/Babylon/Fuma + the original 1969 anime "trailer"). There was a bit that stated Cagliostro cost 5billion yen to make, but I can't really add something like that without a citation
, but I'm unsure how to citate it. Aside from there being no entry for secret files (and its not worthy of a seperate article), can I really refer to it as a valid source? Bit hard to link a video claiming it Dandy Sephy (talk) 23:55, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Production cost

message: As an editor has requested I explain the tags left on the article here, here you go:
* It needs additional references or sources for verification. Tagged since July 2009.
** This should be pretty self-explanatory, the article has only 9 refs, and releases is completely unreferenced except one link.
* It contains a plot summary that is too long compared to the rest of the article. Tagged since July 2009.
** Again, pretty self-explanatory. The plot should be around 400-500 words for a work of this length, and no more than 700; it is currently 771 and goes into overly excessive and unnecessary detail. 
* It may require general cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. Tagged since July 2009.
** This speaks to its overall formatting, which does not come close to following WP:MOSFILM and WP:MOS-AM, the overly short lead, the overly small image in the infobox, the excessive non-free VHS cover, the cast table which is badly formatted and does not follow proper cast list formats, and some malformed references. 
* Its neutrality is disputed. Tagged since July 2009.
* Bias - The examples and perspective in this article or section might have an extensive bias or disproportional coverage towards one or more specific regions. Please improve this article or discuss the issue on the talk page.
** These two go hand in hand. It is extremely obvious (too me) that the article is overly American-centric for a Japanese film, and heavily slanted to the MGM and Disney releases rather than its origins. The release section even starts with MGM's English subtitled release, and gives excessive details on later re-releases/dubs/subs and NEVER mentions its actual Japanese theatrical and home movie releases, despite its being a #1 film in Japan for weeks. Ditto the reception section, which has only one line about the Japanese releases that I myself added recently. 
I hope this helps explain the tags adequately. If there are further questions, ask. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 00:45, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

message: When I first saw this movie it got me thinking when I saw the inside the clock scene with all the gears, ive seen this somewhere before? Is it just me or was the idea also used in Disney's The Great Mouse Detective? Is there any source out there linking the two? This movie was 1979 and teh great mouse detective was made in 1986 roughly 7 years later. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 04:14, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

message: The director of this animation movie is [Ōtsuka]. 
Hyao Miazaki has only helped with script according to the movie opening credits.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.200.7.54 (talk) 13:54, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: He did key animation, he did not direct, but was also a big influence on Miyazaki. He actually did the key animation, like Lupin leaping from turret to turret. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 03:40, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  wrong Director name  

message: Why delete the entire matter? Many RSes assert the Spielberg claim, even the box and Manga Entertainment assert it despite the story being incorrect, the film did not show at the Cannes Film Festival. Numerous academic works also assert it, I gave The Anime Art of Hayao Miyazaki as an example because this very popular and praised insight into Miyazaki's work asserts an even more pronounced claim which is incorrect. At this junction, it is not trivia, but instead citing the proper award and being accurate and careful in coverage. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 12:51, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spielberg matter 

message: According to everything I know, the film was nominated for the 8th Saturn Award in 1980, this was prior to its restart. Since none of my publications list or credit the nomination, I have sent an email to the academy in hopes of obtaining a source and the verification of the nominations. For now, I guess it could remain as an invisible text note, but I have no reason to believe the information is incorrect. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 17:06, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok. I can see it in Saturn Award for Best International Film (without sources) but http://www.saturnawards.org/past.html#international (the official site) states it was established in 2006. Something is strange so it's necessary a source. I also hope the information is correct but in doubt is preferably a source. Cheers, Gabriel Yuji (talk) 01:57, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  Not sure why you say it started in 2006 though. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:24, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I checked my e-mail and got a message from the staff confirming that the 8th Annual Saturn Awards took place on July 26, 1980 and the nominees for Best International Film were: The Castle of Cagliostro (Lupin III) - Japan, The Changeling - Canada, Harlequin - Australia, Scanners - Canada and Terror Train - Canada. With Scanners winning. I've inquired as to whether or not this was on the website or in a publication so I can provide it. I haven't found anything on my own in archives sadly, so I am kinda stuck without it. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:42, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The section in cultural impact that claims Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark was influenced by the Castle of Cagliostro is erroneous and needs removing for the following reasons. The sources cited only claim that it was a rumor and one of the sources cited merely states similarity between the protagnist Indianna Jones and protagonist Lupin III. Another problem is that The conception for Raiders of the lost Ark was completed in 1975 four years before this film. At the time the Castle of Cagliostro was released in Japan, the screenplay for Raiders of the Lost Ark was already completed. When the Castle of Cagliostro finally came to America in 1980 it did not have a wide viewing but that's not the chief issue. The chief issue is that neither Lucas or Spielberg could have seen the film in 1980 because they were already filming and completing the Raiders of the Lost Ark film. The earliest quote I could find concerning Spielberg and the film came from him in 1992 way after Raiders of the Lost Ark was completed and released but only a year after the Castle of Cagliostro finally had a theatrical release. The worst part is that Lucas and Speilberg have many times stated what their influence for the film was and the Castle of Cagliostro was never mentioned. In general an article should cite sources that have proof not opinion pieces with unsubstantiated rumors. Sanctusune (talk) 14:19, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I've restored the similarities you removed earlier. Similarities and influence are two different things. Even if it may not have influenced Spielberg, the similarities themselves are still notable. I've also renamed the section to "Legacy and cultural impact" so that the section is not just limited to influence only. Maestro2016 (talk) 19:23, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

message: Hey 177.68.4.235, I disagree with  of the budget in yen. The film was produced in Japan, was originally released in Japan, and the source states the budget in yen, not dollars. Also, you removed information about the home release and legacy without explanation. I'd prefer to hear your reasoning for the edits instead of reverting again. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 23:35, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
