Twentieth
Century Fox’s first-ever animated film, created by renowned director Ralph
Bakshi, WIZARDS appears in a 35th Anniversary Edition
Blu-ray + Book was released on March 13 from Twentieth Century Fox Home
Entertainment. Celebrating its 35th
anniversary, the “epic fantasy of peace and magic” stars the voice talent of
Mark Hamill (Star Wars Saga). The special edition Blu-ray + Book release is
a must-have for fans and collectors, featuring 24-pages of amazing artwork from
the film, some of the artwork never-before-seen, and a special message from
Bakshi!
Set
on a post-apocalyptic Earth, this fantasy adventure follows the story of
Avatar, the kindly, eccentric sorcerer-ruler of Montagar, a rainbow paradise
inhabited by elves and fairies. Avatar's
evil brother, Blackwolf, dominates Scortch, a bleak land of goblins and
wraiths. When the power-hungry Blackwolf
attacks Montagar, Avatar, accompanied only by a spirited young woman and a
courageous elf, must enter the darkness of Scortch to save
his world.
I enjoyed this little blast from the past. My son didn’t think he’d like it because it
was “old”…turns out he thought it was pretty cool. We have a 35th Anniversary Edition
which came packed like an old fashioned board story book filled with background
information on Ralph Bakshi and on the
movie and animation. It was interesting for the kids to see animation the way
Mom and Dad saw it “way back then”. It was a great movie night with the kids. We all ending up laughing to all the stories
me and my husband told about when we were kids.
