It was made in 1977... Editorial Reviews Amazon.com 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.

Quoting RMStringer <rmstringer@peoplepc.com>:
It was made in 1977...
And what the flying shit does every single movie made in 1977 have to do with the KLF?

Chill out Chris. Let's not start another flame war.
Yeah, I know. Don't worry, Rob kept his intended-as-insults accusations of homosexual behaviour to private replies! Erm, sorry folks.
