Wizards

This is one film where you may want to watch the excellent extras before you begin the feature film because listening to director Ralph Bakshi talk about the movie is the perfect introduction to the world of Wizards. Bakshi’s style of animation is so completely different than what most people are used to, particularly his visionary way of blending of live action and animation, that it can be a challenge to watch if you don’t have some sense of why he is doing what he does. With a little history under your belt, settle in for the epic struggle of good versus evil as only he can tell it, a story that is still as powerful as it was when it first hit theaters 35 years ago.
