Far from the masterful
treatment that groundbreaking animator Ralph Bakshi
gave the similarly themed The Lord of the
Rings just a year later, Wizards
feels amateurish. A simplistic distillation of fantasy tropes, the scenario is
millions of years after nuclear war wipes out civilization. Middle Earth
fairies, elves, and magic emerge from the "good lands," while
dimwitted mutants with poor comic timing emerge from the nuclear wastes. In the
ultimate confrontation between good and evil, a hippie-ish wizard named Avatar
defends his utopia against the technological and neo-Nazi revival of his
bad-seed twin, Blackwolf. With volleys of jokes that couldn't hit a barn door,
elves with Brooklyn accents, and the dubious
climax that sees the kindly old wizard using one of the hated machines of war
to triumph over evil, Wizards is
one of fantasy animation's least successful examples. --Alan E. Rapp
