Lupin the 3rd: The Castle of Cagliostro 4K UHD [Blu-ray]
V**R
Is the 4K worth it? Oh, yes!!
The film always was brilliant; now it sparkles on the screen.Wonderful colours, vibrant and clean. Really good sound, and subtitles are clear and timed perfectly.The 'dub' is only 'OK'; I'm sorry but, American/English voices just can't articulate the grunts , groans, and laughter of the characters with conviction.Lets pray for more Studio Ghibli on 4K.

Lupin is always fun
I have seen this version on the old VHS Australian Manga Version (Streamline). I was really happy to see that this copy was the old version I had grown up with. I know that in the 2000's Manga released the Castle of Cagliostro on DVD I wasn't to impressed with this Dub.Other wise it is a great purchest for any Lupin fan out there, quality of picture was good, both sound tracks in English & Japanese (English Subs) goodI do recommend to watch some of the TV series either Season 1 & Season 2 to understand the relationships between the chararters, I was new to Lupin when I first watched this and I had no idea how they were all connected as a Lupin fan now I really enjoy the chemistry between Lupin & Jigen.The sceen where their Fiat 500 blows a tyre and they have the Rock, Paper Scissors game to see who changes it is so classic of their chemistry even to the point where Lupin is smoking on top of the car while Jigen is jacking up the car.I have never found Lupin's interest in Clarisse all that beleavable but still cute.Other supporting charaters make the movie great from Fujiko to Zenigata.

Great directorial debut from Miyazaki
This is Hayao Miyazaki's first film, before Studio Ghibli was formed and this was a great way to kick-start his career. Even though the animation does look slightly dated, the colour style and character design is really cool, the main character is memorable, the music is cool with the jazz undertones in certain scenes, the film is a lot of fun and the story itself is solid. I definitely recommend you check this out.

some beautiful animation and a refreshing take on the "princess trapped ...
It's an enjoyable movie, some beautiful animation and a refreshing take on the "princess trapped in a castle" trope we've gone through the past years. It did have a few faults and my copy didn't come with any kind of sleeve.

Light Hearted Entertainment...
The first feature length animation by Hayao Miyazaki is as enjoyable if not more than some of his latest animations. The characters however aren't his own creations but first appeared in a manga by Monkey Punch (who took the ideas from various sources). Unlike his other animations this is very light hearted and somewhat unserious, a blend of action, lust and humour is evident as a Master Theif sets out to uncover the source of counterfeit money accompanied by his gun totting sidekick, a samurai and an action friendly woman. It is an enjoyable experience and the quality of the animation is good, especially for the time it was produced, fan of Hayao Miyazaki or not, this is certainly worth checking out, just don't expect it to be anything like his other work.

Great movie, great quality
Great movie, great quality, however the image for this product shows it in the numbered cardboard sleeve, which is the new remastered DVD & Blu-Ray editions for the Studio Ghibli collection, I did not receive this, which was my original reason for purchasing, bit gutted, but aside from that a great Ghibli film.

The Best Lupin
The best Lupin film to date.Fantastic animation combines with superb background art its almost a work of art in itself.If you like Lupin this is a must. If you have not seen any Lupin then this is the best one to get.
