Wizards (DVD) by Ralph Bakshi
My opinion is all over the place with this movie
Another reviewer described Wizards accurately when he said it was "a weird, horrible, funny, enthralling cartoon movie". That is dead on. The animation is both bad and wonderful. The plot is epic, wonderful and poorly thought out and petty.

The animation:
Sometimes, however, the animation is of such poor quality that it distracts from the action. At times, the animation is worse than SeaLab 2021 on Adult Swim - and they intentionally make the animation bad! Money became an issue as the movie was being animated and it is, at times, quite obvious that they cut corners in some segments.
The characters and plot:
Avatar putting the moves on Elinore |
Blackwolf showing his movies |
No, I think he's just got a really, really sloppy script, as evidenced by the fact that half of the lines of his lead elf character (soon to be king) are incoherent battle screams - even when they're not appropriate. He must be a hoot at the dinner table!
Blackwolf's mutants on the attack. |
Once again, I don't think he was trying to say anything, I think he was just sloppy.
One more thought: was it just me - or were some of the battle scenes from this movie spliced into Bakshi's version of "the Lord of the Rings?"
I rate this movie 2 stars out of 5.
