The Castle of Cagliostro (1979) is the first feature film (long film) by MIYAZAKI Hayao, the most famous Japanese anime director. In this article I will show that this animation film is a typical swashbuckler very much influenced by classical Hollywood ones. For that purpose, I first argue what classical Hollywood swashbucklers are, and briefly explain the history of this genre (or subgenre of adventure movies). Second I clarify typical traits of narratives and ways of directing of classical Hollywood swashbucklers. Then I show not only that The Castle of Cagliostro is a typical swashbuckler but also that it is one of the best swashbucklers in the film history, and I suggest that influences of classical Hollywood movies should be more taken into account in thinking about and analyzing MIYAZAKI's films.The Castle of Cagliostro (1979) is the first feature film (long film) by MIYAZAKI Hayao, the most famous Japanese anime director.
