Reviews

IGN -
If Spirited Away can be considered the top anime film of this age, Castle of Cagliostro is most certainly its age-old counterpart, and a true masterpiece.
|
|
The A.V. Club -
This caper film possesses Miyazaki's usual good-hearted charm, but he injects a manically energetic humor that his more sedate children's films never quite achieve.

|
The New York Times -
An interestingly wild hybrid of visual styles and cultural references.
|
|
The Seattle Times -
Director Hayao Miyazaki brings a welcome sense of humor to this adventure story. [05 July 1991, p.16]

|
Los Angeles Times -
An exciting, upbeat film, but not a very impressive example of the animator's art. [01 Feb 1989, p.8]
