Laputa Castle in the sky - AMAZING!

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 2006)

If you like studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki then you will LOVE 'Laputa castle in the sky'. The story focuses on an Orphan girl Sheeta who literally falls from the sky to be caught by another young orphan boy, Pazu, together the two of them discover that the crystal necklace around Sheeta's neck is no ordinary necklace, it is in fact a relic from the levitation stone on the floating magical island of Laputa. The two of them realise the importance of the necklace when they are chased by crazy pirates and evil government agents all of whom want to capture and harness the power of the crystal for themselves. Together Sheeta and Pazu go in search of the floating island of laputa and encounter many twists and turns on the way! A simply great animated film and one where the dubbed English version is as good if not better than the original Japanese version. A must see for any studio Ghibli fan. Better than 'Spirited away' by far!
