Almost every single animated movie by Hayao Miyazuki is both calming and intriguing. The story unpacks with Sheeta's accident to fall from the sky and then met the fixer boy Pazu. As the heir of the lost empire, Sheeta has special powers to control the flying stones and learned spells to exert the power of the stone. Laputa, the floating island in the sky developed much more advanced technology than human civilization and are known to have valuable treasures. While the treasures excited the sky pirates, another guy who belongs to the kinship on the island led the army to approach Laputa. Since Sheeta is thought to know the way to the hidden floating island. Both pirates and the military want to catch her, and of course our little boy is there to protect her, the little hero. Long with this small subhect its also embeded ecological values as the nature is the mother land and critical valus to human.
