Although maybe not Miyazaki's best production, this is nonetheless a solid and spirited romp of movie full of adventure and action. It definitely seemed like an animation counterpart to James Bond. Some of the spoof, gags, and humor were a lot of fun. The animation and color in this older outing still holds up excellently, and they've obviously put some work in restoration. I especially enjoyed the mid-third of the movie - getting in and romping around the castle - probably the best in the movie involving getting into the tower and the shenanigans that follow. Our protagonist has a lot of fun goofing around with pretty much everyone else including the antagonists....never really totally serious. This is a playful fun movie with a good mix of adventure and action worthy of at least one sitting surely.
