VHS Box Description
Ralph Bakshi’s animated fantasy of good conquering evil. 

The gifted imagination of mast animator Ralph Bakshi triumphs in this futuristic fantasy that depicts a battle between magic and technology. 

Avatar, an eccentric old sorcerer who appears to have cast one spell too many, uses kindness and understanding to rule Montagar, a rainbow paradise inhabited by elves and fairies. His brother, Blackwolf, dominates Scortch, a bleak, barren land of goblins and wraiths. Thirsting for even more power. Blackwolf whips his minions into a frenzy with Nazi propaganda films, arms them with long-forgotten instruments of war, and sends them forth to conquer Montagar. In response, Avatar, accompanied only by a spirited young woman and a courageous elf, embarks on a dangerous quest into the darkness of Scortch to save the world with his own magic. 

Thought-provoking, Wizards, is a kaleidoscopic feast for the eyes that will enthrall animation fans and adventurers.
