I haven't seen this movie since I was 8 years old..and I have JUST NOW FOUND IT!!!!
The only scene I remember was when the little dwarf shot his older brother, and he quoted something his mother said.. like "mother always taught me" and then boom! Killed his brother with the rotting/half arm thingy.
word..just found it, and my childhood memories of this film r exactly like urs...tried to find it couple of years ago but failed as its quite hard when u remember only couple of scenes and dont remember names, words, storyline etc.
@MidoriValentine Thats it! He also sayes "I'm sure glad you changed your last name you son of a bitch!". It was the first time I'd ever heard cussing in a cartoon and I laughed my ass off!!
God, haven't seen this movie in ages. The name "Wizards" inevitably brings up 39,000,000 unrelated results in any search, so it's practically impossible to find online.
Bakshi didn't invent rotoscoping. That was invented by max fleisher decades before. Leone used in as the openings to his westerns too. But by the time bakshi started directing it was considered obsolete and nobody used it anymore, that's how it became one of his trademarks.
The technique was invented by Max Fleischer, who used it in his series Out of the Inkwell starting around 1915, with his brother Dave Fleischer dressed in a clown outfit as the live-film reference for the character Koko the Clown.
The rotoscoping animation Bakshi did for the time was unique. What do you think of the new modern rotoscoping animation techniques used in Cameron's Avatar or Robert Zemeckis's Beowulf?

"Wizards" rather than "War Wizards"? War Wizards is more descriptive of the actual movie.

"the first blast was set off by 5 terrorists..."
1976 when Ralph envisioned that. The man is prophetic in more than just his animations.

Partly, Bakshi ran out of $ on this & Lord of the Rings, but to save $ invented "Rotoscoping" (mix between animation & film).
