Wizards
“An epic fantasy of peace and magic.”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 62, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Ralph Bakshi sends a small wizard into a world where fairy-tale creatures and recovered fascist imagery collide. This deliberately adult animated fantasy is unruly, strange and much darker than its cuddly lead suggests. Its mixed visual styles make every new battlefield feel slightly unstable.

Synopsis and movie facts
After the death of his mother, evil mutant wizard Blackwolf discovers long-lost military technologies.

Meanwhile, Blackwolf's gentle twin brother, the bearded sage Avatar, calls upon his own magical abilities to foil Blackwolf's plans for world domination — even if it means eliminating his own flesh and blood.
