The Castle of Cagliostro (ルパン三世 カリオストロの城 Kariosutoro no Shiro) is a 1979 Japanese animated film, and the feature-length directorial debut of Hayao Miyazaki. It is the second film to feature Monkey Punch's Lupin III.

Synopsis

Master thief Arséne Lupin III successfully robs a casino – only to find the money to be counterfeit. He heads to the tiny country of Cagliostro, the rumoured source of the bills, and attempts to save the runaway Clarisse from the Count Cagliostro's men. Lupin enlists his associates, Jigen and Goemon, and sends his calling card to the Count to get Inspector Zenigata, his longtime nemesis, to the castle. After becoming trapped in the dungeon under the castle, Lupin and Zenigata form a pact to escape and foil the Count's counterfeit operation and save Clarisse from her forced marriage to the Count.

Dubbing History[]

Castle of Cagliostro was first dubbed into English by Streamline Pictures, making its theatrical debut in New York City on April 3, 1991. Streamline's dub deviates slightly from the original dialogue to better fit the lip syncing. Due to copyright issues with the estate of Maurice LeBlanc, (the original creator of the Arséne Lupin stories, which the Lupin III series is based upon) Lupin is referred to as "The Wolf". Inspector Koichi Zenigata is erroneously named "Keibu Zenigata," likely due to a translation error (keibu being the Japanese title for a police inspector).

In 2000, Manga Entertainment commissioned a second dub by Animaze which adhered more closely to the original script, however it added a large amount of profanity not originally present. This was not well received, as the film has long been considered one of the most family friendly anime films that the franchise has produced. When releasing the film on Blu-Ray, Discotek Media included both dubs, along with an edited "family-friendly" version of the Manga dub.

Notes[]

  • Cagliostro's first technical appearance in English was in the 1983 laserdisc game Cliff Hanger which utilized scenes from the movie, along with Mamo (using the pre-existing Toho dub). The voices were poorly overdubbed for the game over the original Japanese or repeating clear pieces of soundtrack. The original Japanese voices are often heard during fight scenes, grunting and growling.
    • When "Cliff" (Lupin) finally reaches "Clarissa's" chamber, the player can clearly hear Yasuo Yamada's voice saying "Kurarissu?" ("Clarisse?") from the original vocal track of Cagliostro. The American voice actor then says "I think we'd better get out of here" before one other missed overdub can be clearly heard: the Count from the original film saying "ute" ("fire").
  • Although not dubbed, the original 1980 subtitle track utilized by TMS Entertainment for showings in English-speaking areas utilized the Americanized names from the Toho Dub of Mamo for the characters with two exceptions. Fujiko (named Margo in Mamo's Toho Dub) is renamed Rosarie and Zenigata (named Detective Ed Scott in the Toho Dub) is Detective Ed Cott.
  • Three of Jodo's lines towards the end of the Streamline dub are provided by Kerrigan Mahan instead of Jeff Winkless, possibly due to the fact that he wears a helmet during much of the climax, which may have led the dubbing team to believe that he was another, nameless henchman.
  • As with all Animaze dubs, due to the non-union status of their dubs, all actors are credited with pseudonyms. (ie David Hayter as Sean Barker, Bridget Hoffman as Ruby Marlowe and Kirk Thornton as Sparky Thornton)
  • Michael Gregory is not credited in any form. His role has been incorrectly attributed to Richard Epcar, who has publicly claimed the role. Epcar himself has admitted to having been in the business so long and with so many credits, that it's hard to keep track of everything he's been in.
  • Tom Wyner and Kirk Thornton are the lone actors to be in both dubs.
