Laputa is another fun Miyazaki film. It has great animation, a plot that kept me watching, and interesting characters, as well as a good soundtrack.
The film stars a little girl named Sheeta, she is in pursuit by the Military and a gang of pirates who are after her powerful crystal. After she escapes the two groups, she comes across a young boy named Patsu. The two quickly become friends, as Sheeta notices a picture of a castle called "Laputa". Patsu explains that he wants to prove it exists, because it will prove that his father wasn't lying about it.
The pirates and the Military catch up to them and the young duo escapes into some mines nearby and discover that Sheeta's crystal is made of a mineral that the people of Laputa use, this excites Patsu and the two decide to go looking for Laputa, and they decide to return the crystal there.
The military, along with our main Villain Mooscow, catch the two and blackmail Sheeta saying if she doesn't help them find Laputa, they may kill Patsu. She agrees and a confused, angry and sad Patsu leaves to return home as he comes across the pirates, the leader of the Pirates is convinced that Patsu sold Sheeta to the military but he claims thats not the case, he decides to team up with the pirates to save Sheeta.
Thats all of the story I will sum up, but I have more to say about the movie itself. The characters are likable and well rounded, and some of the characters do a good job in making me mad. The film's plot is easy to follow and has plenty of twists that make it another brilliant Miyazaki film
