Description:
Hayao Miyazaki stopped working on Meitantei Holmes ("Famous Detective Holmes," 1981) long before these final episodes were completed in the Japanese-Italian coproduction, although some of the designs retain his stamp. The stories both satirize and invoke Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's great detective as he outwits both Inspector LeStrade and a comic version of Professor Moriarty. The Professor and his underfed henchmen Todd and Smiley almost succeed in stealing a fabulous diamond in "The Priceless French Doll." But, as Holmes predicts, no criminal can foresee every complication that may arise. "The Secret of the Parrot" and "The Bell of Big Ben" are needlessly complicated, but the comic denouements may please young viewers. In the final episode, "The Missing Bride Affair," Holmes and Watson aid a pair of star-crossed lovers--as the original Holmes did on at least one occasion. (Rated 7 and older: minor cartoon violence, tobacco use) --Charles Solomon
