Nazi treasure in a Lupin story. What a shocker.

Great movie. Terrible art style. I will always choose the charm of hand-drawn over 3D/CGI.

Lupin teams up with a Disney princess who dreams of something more.

The characters are great. Except for the cliché Nazi villains.
Come to think of it, this movie is basically Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

The main cast get to show their kills.

Inspector Zenigata did nothing wrong! 😤

Possibly one of the most lavish uses of CGI animation ever, Lupin III: The First is an absolute visual treat, full of joy and zaniness, a charming and old-fashioned adventure romp. It's an unspooling like a mashing of James Bond and Indiana Jones, but equally reminiscent of The Adventures of TinTin's stylings. The animation has fun playing with the laws of physics, it frees itself from the constraints of anatomy with gorgeous fluidity. Yes, the story may be rather straightforward and its twists are easy to predict, but it doesn't make the movie any less fun as the film manages ...

The pacing is whack, either too fast or too slow, the storyline is as cliched and predictable as it gets and the characters have about as much depth as a bowl of cereal. I watched the dub because I'm an idiot, and the actor for Laetitia is actually godawful, not communicating any emotions other than slightly nervous. Everyone else was okay, though the characters they were playing could not be more one note.

There are some good aspects though. As someone who despises anime and the art style of most of them, I loved the art style of this, it was absolutely wonderful, not Pixar ...
