The magic touch of master animator Hayao Miyazaki is visible from start to finish in Laputa: Castle In the Sky, an imaginative tale full of mystery and adventure. The high-flying journey begins when Pazu, an engineer's apprentice, finds a young girl, Sheeta, floating down from the sky, wearing a glowing pendant.
Together, they discover both are searching for the legendary floating castle, Laputa, and vow to unravel the mystery of the luminous crystal around her neck. Their quest won't be easy, however. There are sky pirates, secret agents and monumental obstacles stopping them from discovering the truth - and each other. However, Laputa is more than it appears, and some seek to use it for evil.
Laputa: Castle In the Sky continues Hayao Miyazaki's obsession with air travel, featuring some truly remarkable designs, especially for the floating fortress Laputa itself. It is said that he based a lot of the environments on rural Wales, following his time spent there during the miner's strikes.

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.
wow
