'I'm glad you changed your last name, you son of a bitch.'
The Big Picture Let me just lay it out for you, Wizards is one of the most bizarre animated movies ever made. It's a fantasy epic from Ralph Bakshi, the same filmmaker behind the original animated adaptation of The Lord of the Rings. But before Bakshi could touch Middle Earth, he had to carve out his own fantastical world of mutants and sorcerers... I mean, wizards.
How does he plan on doing this? With old Nazi vehicles, swastika banners, and propaganda films that his goons dug up, of course — couldn't you have predicted that? And this footage isn't animated footage of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis — it's not even rotoscoped. This is just real, live-action footage that's presented right alongside the animation. Yes —this movie is strange. It's like if Sauron's biggest influence in Lord of the Rings was Joseph Stalin.
'Wizards' Biggest Problems Are Its Treatment of Female Characters and Its Pace All of that being said, in typical Bakshi fashion, all the female characters are over-sexualized and totally ditzy. This is literally the consistent shortcoming of every one of his movies. How Bakshi thought he could aim to make a "kid-friendly" movie and still choose to do this with his female characters, we'll never know. It's baffling.
