castle of cagliostro

Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro, also known as Rupan Sansei: Kariosutoro no Shiro, is a 1979 Japanese animated comedy-drama crime action film co-written and directed by Miyazaki Hayao as his feature film debut.

It is the second feature film featuring Monkey Punch's master thief Arsene Lupin III, from his manga series Lupin III.

The film was Miyazaki's first time directing a theatrical feature after having previously worked as an animator for Toei Company and TMS Entertainment and directing several shows including Lupin III and two episodes of Lupin III Part II.

American director Steven Spielberg considers a car chase sequence in the film as the best animated work of all time.
