The daring thief, Lupin, pulls off a heist in a Monte Carlo casino, only to discover the money is counterfeit. He traces the fake bills to the small country of Cagliostro, where the evil Count is generating counterfeit money and distributing it worldwide. Lupin heads to Cagliostro with his partners in crime, a retired gangster, a modern-day samurai, and a beautiful female thief. There, they meet Princess Clarice, who is being forced into a marriage with the Count, and they also find themselves on the trail of a hidden treasure. The character animation is in the classic style of the Lupin III films, but is enhanced by Miyazaki's love of beautiful, detailed settings, and the storybook kingdom of Cagliostro would be echoed by his later films. This film is the favorite of fans worldwide, and stands alone as well as an installment in an ongoing series.

IMDb (external reviews)Anime on DVD
Cagliostro is one of the enduring classics of anime, one that will be enjoyed for another quarter century, and it nearly receives the treatment it deserves in this special edition. It is given an amazing anamorphic transfer providing a remarkable viewing experience given the age of the title. But the removal of the original Japanese opening sequence tinges this with disappointment
