"Meitantei Holmes"
is the last TV series Miyazaki made. It was made as a joint project between
Tokyo Movie Shinsha and an Italian TV station, RAI, in 1981. Miyazaki directed
6 episodes (and wrote scripts for some of them), but the production was
put on hold due to a copyright dispute with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's estate.
In 1984, after the copyright dispute was finally resolved, Tokyo Movie
Shinsha decided to make more episodes of "Holmes" and to air
it as a TV series as originally planned, with totally different staff members
from the first 6 episodes.
The series is action packed, and really
fun to watch. There are many classic Miyazaki moments - car chases, flying
scenes, a strong woman, villains turning good, etc. All the characters
such as Holmes, Watson, Mrs. Hudson, and Prof. Moriarty were made into
dogs. |
