Movie Reviews of Castle in the Sky
Movie Review: Castle in the sky is for all ages
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this movie first for myself and then for my nephew when he told me repeatedly as it was his favorite movie in the world. This is a wonderful story about a young boy who who helps a young girl overcome the villians that want to steal her necklace and its powers for themselves. They join together and eventually sacrifice the power in the necklace to save the world. This movie would be loved by anyone that loved "Howl's Moving Castle". Great Japanese animation and wonderful and meaningful fun.
Summary of Castle in the Sky
Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 04/15/2003 Run time: 125 minutes Rating: NrInspired 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 Nausica?, 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
