Action, guns, 70s animation style, all with a playful twist thanks to Miyazaki's art & story style makes it accessible to kids and adults.

I think this flies under the radar for a lot of folks - don't miss it! Lupin gets a more wholesome treatment by Miyazaki and it works!

Just watch this movie. No need to catch up with the "Lupin" series. It stands on it's own very well and is incredibly fun.

This is one of my favorite movies, beautifully done, great story, and charming characters!! Would definitely recommend!!

Perhaps it's just my sentiment towards this movie, but this is a fine adventure film, the kind they don't make anymore.

Super charming characters, can’t wait to raise my future kids on this gem.

The Lupin series and movies are a joy to watch. With the slapstick type of humor but also a serious story.
