WizardsThe year before his The Lord of the Rings was released, Ralph Bakshi tackled Wizards, which arrived on high-definition in Blu-ray Book packaging for the movie’s 35th anniversary.

Set in a post-apocalyptic Earth, the 1977 animated film tells the story of the kindly Avatar (Bob Holt, Gremlins).

He’s the eccentric sorcerer ruler of Montagar, a rainbow paradise inhabited by elves and fairies.

Wizards Blu-ray BookAvatar’s evil brother Blackwolf (Steve Gravers) dominates Scortch, a bleak land of goblins and wraiths, and sets his sights on Montagar. To save his world, Avatar, a spirited young woman and a courageous elf must go into the dark world of Scortch.

A popular flick with the trippy-hippie midnight movie audiences of the 1970s, Wizards also features the voice of Mark Hamill (Batman Beyond: The Return of the Joker) and David Proval (TV’s The Sopranos).

The Blu-ray Book has 24 pages of artwork from the film, some of which has not been released before, and a message from Bakshi.

Wizards has already been released on Blu-ray overseas.
