Customer Reviews of Castle in the Sky
Another Great Miyazaki Masterpiece Castle is actually not my favorite Miyazaki movie. I prefer Kiki's, Totoro and Spirited Away over Castle. Castle has a bit too much chasing around and explosions for my taste. Aside from that small caveat, this is a wonderful movie. The animation is gorgeously detailed & the story is sweet and interesting. A smart, gentle, nuanced story about friendship and discovery. I love the way Miyazaki and his people refuse to treat children as dumb and easily amused. Every Miyazaki movie is worth watching and some are almost magic.
Technology and Nature merge in Laputa

>Following Nausicaa I hit Castle in the Sky. Miyazaki's ability to craft sweeping new-world epics amazes me. Each film meticulously creates an entire mythos around it. Here a young girl [another in a long line of heroines] struggles with her heritage as the descendent of an incredible war machine from an earlier time, the flying castle of Laputa. Along the way in an attempt to escape from her various pursuers she connects with a young boy and they join up with a good hearted collection of pirates. The chase scenes and flying effects are again top notch. Sheeta is a bit more passive than Nausicaa, but one can see the progression between movies of the heroine archetype as it heads towards Mononoke. I loved the interaction of nature and technology once they reached Laputa and the robots who could be so destructive tended the gardens with loving care. The battle with the Goliath airship was stunning in its speed and ferocity. Yet another home run. Highly recommended.

Another Miyazaki masterpiece
Castle in the sky is a heartwarming, adventure filled story with two kids who journey to a floating castle that holds enough power to rule the Earth. In the story, a young girl named Sheeta, who is the heir to the throne of Laputa, the floating castle, befriends a young adventurer and pilot's son named Pazu. The two go to the floating castle which is both ancient in it's architecture and advanced in it's weapons. Together the two escape and befriend pirates and discover the hidden secrets of the floating island. This is a classic if you like the work of Miyazaki or if you liked spirirted away. Again Miyazaki uses his creative touch to send us to a world of floatin castles and ships, and even some robots. This is a good film to watch for all ages!
