Review of Wizards (1977) by Todd S — 06 Sep 2005

[font=Times][color=#000000]This is a good fantasy story. Mixing elements of Tolkien and mythology to tell a good tale of good versus evil. I liked the animation. It bounced between actual animated cartoon scenes and scenes sampled from live action movies and animated over. This is a standard form of annimation for Ralph Bakshi. It makes for an interesting effect during the battle scenes. Some people dislike it and complain about Bakshi?s animation style, I?m not one of them.[/color][/font].

[font=Times][color=#000000]The voice work is done nicely. Avatar and Blackwolf are particularly well done. The soundtrack is really good. I enjoyed it and remembered the tunes for years after I?d seen it as a kid. The ending is classic![/color][/font].
