Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

When I went to Italy in January of 2006, many street vendors sold badges with characters from this movie. I was suprised, since I knew it was Japanese and fairly old, and I didn't see any other anime products. Is there an explanation for this?

Can't explain the lack of other anime stuffs, but Lupin the Third is a significantly more well-known franchise in Italy when compared to North America. Lupin has a large following and aired in prime-time during its heyday. Heck, in Italy you can buy the TV edits of "Mystery of Mamo" on DVD at newsstands, of all places.

Is 'goat bills' right translation? I thought it's 'Goth bills' or something.

If you listen to the Japanese-language version, they are clearly saying "goat" or more specifically "Gootu", which is the same word they use in describing the ram's head insignia where the rings must be placed, it's pretty clear it's supposed to be "Goat" --Wingsandsword 00:20, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

I'd like to see if anybody can put any substance to the Spielberg quote. I've seen it a zillion times, but never seen any reference cited.

I've never seen the quote in the article, what I have seen and heard is that Spielberg said the film had the best car chase scene he's ever seen. =/ - Ferret 11:28, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

As mentioned in the article, the Spielberg reference is printed directly on the back cover of the Manga Video release. The movie does have an undeniably goofy-romantic-adventure Indiana Jones -like quality, I think... Given that it predates Raiders, I wonder if there could be any influence (or did Spielberg see it in subsequent years)? ...Yes, this is all provocateur speculation, you're welcome. :-)

[edit] To fill, or not to fill

Does that empty space bother anyone else? I think we should fill it, but I don't want to just take the text and move it up there, as that would make the already short article even shorter. It's missing something, but I don't know what. The Phantom Trogdor

Okay, spacing has now been corrected. By the way, is it just me (...probably^^), or has anyone else noticed a few suspicious plot similarities between this anime and the film The Princess Bride? - Replace master thief Lupin with "The Dread Pirate Roberts", rescues a captive princess from the evil baron's castle against unlikely odds, crashing the wedding ceremony by terrifying the guards with a fiery "ghost" masquerade...

[edit] Rating box

The "The Castle of Cagliostro's Ratings"-box is horrible. It takes up half the article's width, is very high and is mostly filled with nothing - what a waste of screen realestate. It also strikes me that a list of ratings is not really that useful, at least not near the top of the article. Most people who read this article are probably more interested in the rest of the content and to them the ratings box is just a hindrance. If we really wanted such extensive rating information on every film, it would be part of the Infobox Film (in some kind of compact format). Shinobu 12:00, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Monkey Punch does not hate this movie

Contrary to rumors, Monkey Punch in fact likes Castle of Cagliostro. He stated so in an interview with the Anime News Network, although he does not completely agree with Miyazaki's interpretation. It should also be noted that Monkey Punch and Miyazaki are good friends.

Here is Monkey Punch's exact quote, "I particularly like Miyazaki's Castle of Cagliostro. I really enjoy that work and I just like him and another famous manga artist in Japan, Testegawa-sama, their works, I enjoy them from a distance. I don't try to do it myself; I enjoy it from a distance."

The Interview: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature.php?id=164

In Castle of Cagliostro, Miyazaki is portraying Lupin during the twilight of his career where he is looking for fullfillment that he cannot find in thievery. That is why he is kinder and seems bemused by his past.

My information comes from the Lupin III Yahoo group is ran by Luis Cruz (Lupin Encyclopedia) and Reed Nelson (Lupin the Third.net). It is one of the the most reliable sources for Lupin on the Internet.

If you look at the pictures of Princess Nori's wedding dress, it does not actually look like Clarisse's wedding dress. I realize it was published as fact in Mainichi Shimbun, but the dress doesn't even look like it! Ont eh other hand, actress Yuki Ichida did have a replica made for her wedding: http://animenewsnetwork.com/news/2002-12-12/japanese-actress-does-cosplay-at-wedding

[edit] Merge from Duchy of Cagliostro

I believe Duchy of Cagliostro will never have more content than already exists there and can be easily incorporated in this article. There were merge tags on these pages for nearly a year, then $yD! did the merge and an IP user reverted. A consensus should be established on whether to have one or two articles. --Selket ^Talk 00:17, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivial incorporation

Likewise, the removal of the triva and incorporation of such into the article is ridiculous. Most pages of any length on wikipedia have trivia sections; unless a widescale reformatation of the site is proposed, I think there is no harm in keeping this modest-sized trivia section. Thank you for your time. Nagyss 03:24, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

The thing is, the Wikipedia guidelines (as linked from that template) state that well-developed pages shouldn't have trivia sections. If Castle of Cagliostro is to be recognized as a Featured Article someday, it will need to conform to the standards set by Wikipedia guidelines. --Robotech_Master 21:43, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
