Bloated with an overreaching plot and too many chase sequences, but it's cool to see Miyazaki's themes play out in an early work. Drink every time Anna Paquin's accent changes.

Strange watching this having already seen Miyazaki's most iconic stuff, but the experience was still a joy. Not as dynamic characters as those other films but it has an irresistible sense of adventure and the always imaginative and beautiful imagery.

Odd to see the floating island from one of the Gulliver's Travels book depicted as a wholesome or noble place. They do say the author called it Laputa in full knowledge of the Spanish meaning...

A fantastic adventure flick with memorable sets and set pieces galore (the escapades on floating Laputa with its fascinating mix of dark labyrinths and earthy beauty being definite highlights), wonderfully paced (just the right amount of slower discovery scenes break up the action), and with plenty of humour throughout thanks to Dola and the pirates (shout-out to the buff battle though). Child protagonists Pazu and Sheeta, meanwhile, add particularly affecting heart and charm to it all.

Pazu and Sheeta are extraordinarily charming protagonists, the world is magical, and the adventure is lots of fun. Never particularly substantial, but unfailingly enjoyable and impeccably designed.

It's fun to watch this movie, which has just masterful world-building, and mature themes, and thoughtful, complex characters, and a true sense of eerie mystery, and think about how embarrassing most critically-revered American animation is by comparison. What if toys ... could talk? What if Bugs could talk? What about CARS? ... Anyway. This is, really, a flawless adventure film; slightly more superficial than Miyazaki's later works, but certainly no less fun or visually inventive.

A little heavy-handed in its message and light on character, but it's mostly a fun and exciting ride. And for being the first major production from Studio Ghibli, it's an excellent introduction to what would become one of the most lauded and respected animation studios in the world.

Castle in the Sky was a mixed bag for me. With regards to the animation; the stills, design and aesthetic are great (Laputa in particular), but the characters and motion were a bit of a let down. The 3rd act of the film is the strongest in every way, but a forgettable 2nd act makes the entire film feel longer than it should. The music in the 1st half was also more ethereal which at times felt at odds with what it was scoring onscreen. Good, especially for Studio Ghibli's 1st film, but flawed.

An innocent and pleasant tale about two kids looking for their parents' heritage which happen to be the goal of the government and a group of pirates as well. Innocence is racing against powers well beyond their strength and noone remains unchanged by the end. Visually stunning artwork, beautiful score and a truly charming story. Must watch if you like animes. I also recommend it if you want to see a children story of a more serious kind.
