This is my first Miyazaki film. He has been a blind spot for me, so I'm working through his filmography this year (along with the rest of the #brosephmovieclub on Bluesky 😉).
I'm shocked this is from 1979. I haven't watched any other anime, so I don't have a barometer for comparison, but it doesn't feel that old. It was very charming, and the scenery animation was pretty. I liked that Wolf (Lupin?) was a dorky scoundrel; that was fun. The Inspector had a few lines that made me laugh out loud, especially the scene with exposing the counterfeit operation on the news.
I did think it would be cuter, but maybe that's later in the filmography.
