Castle in the Sky description
Inspired by "Gulliver's Travels," the fantasy-adventure Castle in the Sky (1986) was Hayao Miyazaki's third feature, and helped to establish his reputation as a visionary in both Japan and America. The orphan Sheeta inherited a mysterious crystal that links her to the legendary sky-kingdom of Laputa. With the help of resourceful Pazu and a rollicking band of sky pirates, she makes her way to the ruins of the once-great civilization. Sheeta and Pazu must outwit the evil Muska, who plans to use Laputa's science to make himself ruler of the world. Castle echoes elements in Myazaki's earlier Nausicaä, and anticipates imagery in his later films, from My Neighbor Totoro to Spirited Away. Disney's new English dub, which features Anna Paquin (Sheeta), James Van Der Beek (Pazu), and Cloris Leachman (pirate matriarch Dola), is lively and close in tone to the original Japanese, if a bit talkier. The exciting flying sequences, appealing characters, and fantastic vision of a steam-powered future Jules Verne might have imagined make Castle in the Sky a must-have for fans of Japanese and Western animation. (Unrated: suitable for ages 10 and older: violence) --Charles Solomon |

Wow. Another great movie.

I recently watched Spirited Away and I loved it so much I have bought several other movies of Miyazaki.
I have to admit that of the ones I've seen, Howls' Moving Castle is my favorite but all of them are worth watching.
Castle in the Sky is about a young girl who needs to discover her ancestor's history in order to unlock a power that has fallen into the wrong hands. This is actually a really over simplified version of the plot, but that is the gist of it. As always, the movie is visually amazing. All of the Miyazki films make me feel like I am watching art in motion. |
