Movie is just as I remembered it years ago. It occasionally plays on cable, but nice to be able to watch when I'd like. Only problem is about half way through, it tends to "freeze" a few seconds at a few points during approximately a 2 minute period. I searched back - ran it through again and "freezes" same place every time. Past that point (as before) it plays fine I could not find any contaminate on the disc. It's not bothersome enough to return.

Not for kids--meant for adult knowledge and sensibility (and not because of rating.) Not deep and not great, but a good 90 minute diversion. Bakshi's animation, special handling of news photography and other-movie outtakes are quite interesting. My copy was withdrawn from a public library and had some variability of sound (volume), but the read surface was certainly clear enough.

I remember this movie back in high school. I love the action, the animation and the story is very original and unique. Definitely recommend.

Ralph Bakski was the counter-traditional animator of the 1970s. Some of his pre-Wizards work included Fritz the Cat and Coonskin. Wizards, produced in 1976, is a story of good-versus-evil commentary on war. There are direct parallels between the evil Black Wolf and Nazis aggression of World War II. I like the character Avatar and the Borgesque Hugh character Necron 99. The rotoscoped war scenes are annoying after the umpteenth time in the film and I always hated the voice over of Bakski's films. The characters often are yelling or (worse yet) their voices are duplicated and repeated. I bought the film because of the nostalgic value of the work. Wizards was developed for an adult audience, it is not for children. Another film of this era that I like is Bruno Bozzetto's Allegro Non Troppo. An Italian animation put together like Fantasia, but with a sarcastic adult edge. The short set to Ravel's Bolero is still a classic for me.Read full review
