Laputa, Castle In The Sky
Above my expectations considering it was made in '87, but still a cut below Howl and Spirited Away, I can honestly say Laputa Castle In The Sky was a really beautiful movie.The music was gorgeous throughout (bless you, Mr Hisaishi!!) and the visuals were darn good for their time. Don't listen to people who complain about the new english dub-each to their own I guess, but I found it charming and funny-all the actors seemed well suited to their roles, and despite rumours to the contrary, the script doesn't take many liberties from the original japanese (I watched the dub with subitles on ^^).
Although suitable for children, if you have any appreciation for tales of beauty, friendship and adventure this movie will appeal to any age group, young or old; as do most of Miyazaki's stunning creations. A small warning to those with short attentions spans though, this movie only really takes flight (excuse the pun!)in it's second half, but it is still so worth the wait.
I happily add this to my growing Ghibli collection! -
