Laputa - Castle In The Sky (Studio Ghibli Collection)

One of the greatest animated films ever created. The scope of Imagination is breath-taking!

The problem is that this newly dubbed English version is worse than the original English version! It's not so much the dialogue that is the problem, somewhere along the way Disney decided to TURN UP ALL THE MUSIC AND MUFFLE ALL THE SOUND EFFECTS! I wanted a version that I could watch in English. Unfortunately, the only way I can enjoy the film with the right sound balance is in Japanese... Disappointing.

Castle in the sky has to be one of Hayao Miyazaki's best film he's done with studio ghibli. Its one of the earliest anime films me and my sister watched as kid and we were mesmerized by it. The film for me shows real heart and determination. It has absolutely beautiful landscapes and great imagination which all his films have. It tells the story of girl who has a precious air loom which is a powerful stone and holds the key to the floating castle in the sky.She meets a young boy called Pazu who helps protect her with the pirates that are also after the stone but they don't have bad intensions unlike evil Muska who only wants it to control the world. One of the best scenes in the movie is when a robot comes back to life and destroys an army base which I can always remember. Its a compelling and magical story from start to finish. The only problem I had with this dubbed version was the voices. I preferred the old English voices and felt they suited the characters much more.

Miyazaki's 'Laputa...' is a breathtaking, awe inspiring film, that always amazes me when I see it. Pazu is the main character and of course is a child, like many other Miyazaki films, who finds his girl, sheeta, the story revolves around the two as they travel to the 'castle in the sky' the film is full of strange, wonderful and amusing characters and therefore you have to get this film as it is quite possibly Miyazaki's finest, well maybe second to Princess Mononoke!!

i am a huge fan of studio ghibli and this shows it!
Although my 2 favourites are Spirited away and howls moving castle , i would consider for anyone who is interested to buy it as it is a great story line and will touch hearts :). Good one for the girlys

i have been watching ghibli films since aroudn the age of 5, so i have pretty much seen them all. this is by far the best ghibli film iv seen. the story is the best i think and it really gets u engaged in all the characters.
so overall yes spirited away won an oscar but that was before anime was brought into oscars, a deinite purchase for all!!
