		It could also be argued that both Castle in the Sky and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind are in a sense 'post-apocalyptic.' In this sense most major anime offerings including: Barefoot Gen and Grave of the Fireflies calls to question the use of technology for destruction and ultimately domination.
		Castle in the Sky is steeped in an experience of floating, gliding and soaring -- hence weightlessness.
		Castle in the Sky is hinged on the prospect of a world prior to technology making the movie, at the risk of sounding condescending, anything but trivial.

		"Castle in the Sky" was originally released in 1986 in Japan and was Hayao Miyazaki's second animated film.
		In 1989 the film was briefly released in the United States under the title of "Castle in the Sky" because the word "Lupitia" can be translated to a profanity in Spanish, as well as in other languages.

		Castle in the Sky is a beautiful masterpiece, a stunningly intellectual piece of art that manages to capture the flaws and strengths of humanity.

	Strange Horizons Columns: The Complete Miyazaki, Part 1, by James Schellenberg
		A floating castle, a robot with laser eyes, or a witch on a broom: all show up in Miyazaki's movies with careful internal consistency and real-world heft (an indefinable sense of weight and pose that is difficult to animate).
		Castle in the Sky is a bit long, clocking in at over two hours, and its structure is episodic, which makes the movie feel longer.
		In Castle in the Sky, there are military airships, the flying headquarters of the pirates and their wing-flapping scout planes, and the floating castle itself.

	www.TheGline.com: DVD of the Week: (05-07-03): Castle in the Sky
		Castle imagines a world a half-step away from ours, where zeppelins and wasp-like skycraft buzz through the clouds looking for the elusive floating city of Laputa.
		But the movie is far more than just spectacle and wide-gauge images: if Miyazaki can be said to be consistent in any one thing, it's in the amount of care and heart he put into his characters as well as the attention to detail he paid to his designs.
		Castle is far from inferior to those two, however (and it doesn't suffer from the jarringly abrupt ending of Kiki, either!), and its open debt to Jonathan Swift is openly credited in the film when its hero and heroine look over Gulliver's Travels.

	Castle in the Sky, Hayao Miyazaki 1986 (some notes)
		Castle in the Sky, Hayao Miyazaki 1986 (some notes)
		Laputa may be on my short list of great boys' adventures, and I think one of the best things Miyazaki ever did (he cribbed the castle from his earlier Cagliostro and from Grimault's King and Bird, and you can see the flock of pigeons in a film he helped animate, Puss n Boots).
		Love Laputa; in a way, it's Miyazaki's repudiation of his own love of flying--what's important is not that crystal at the heart of the castle (flight), but the tree with roots holding the whole thing together (groundedness).

		At least, that's the Disney-fied version of the title; the movie would be more correctly referred to as Laputa: Castle in the Sky, but I suppose that sounded too "foreign" or something.
		To be honest, at first I was least interested by the prospects of Castle in the Sky.
		Disney's Castle in the Sky DVD is very much of a piece with their disc for Kiki's Delivery Service (read review) released on the same day.

		Castle in the Sky opens like gangbusters and doesn’t let up for the next two hours.
		Castle brims over with a 19th-century person’s notion of the future—it’s full of dirigibles, floating islands that hover on propellers, primitive photographs, Model T’s, mechanical birds, and bronze robots that are clunky and pre-modern in design.
		The sky metaphorically falls on Earth when Cheeta—the girl with the jewel—lands in a mining town.

		He helps the girl, Sheeta, to escape from the air pirates and the military who are obsessed with Laputa, a legendary kingdom on a floating island in the sky with which Sheeta is suspected of being connected.
		With an adventurous boy as the main character, Miyazaki tells "a story that involves discoveries and wonderful encounters...a story that carries a message of hope." The production of Laputa also led to the establishment of Studio Ghibli in 1985.

		Castle in the Sky, also known as Laputa: Castle in the Sky, or simply Laputa, is one of Hayao Miyazaki’s earliest directorial efforts and was instrumental in establishing Miyazaki’s reputation as a master animation director and cementing Studio Ghibli’s box office influence.
		Laputa is the story of a young boy, Pazu, who sees a girl, Sheeta, falling from the sky one evening and takes her in.
		Laputa: Castle in the Sky is a very good film, but somehow, when discussing the films of Hayao Miyazaki, good just doesn’t seem like enough.

	CASTLE IN THE SKY
		I bought Castle in the Sky for my little baby girl (OK, so she’s fifteen months old right now — but who says I can’t plan ahead here?) as an antidote to the usual Disney fare.
		Set in a peculiar alternate reality which mixes technological elements from Jules Verne and early Superman comics (a robot's design), it details the quest of a young boy and girl for a mythic giant city that floats in the sky.
		Castle in the Sky is as an old-fashioned yarn as those huge dirigibles in it.

		The story of Castle In The Sky is a fairly basic one.
		A long time ago, in an unnamed mining town on Earth, a boy named Pazu is working in the mines when a mysterious girl named Sheeta floats down from the sky wearing a mysterious crystal around her neck after she falls from an airship in the sky.
		The original music of Castle In The Sky was very understated but when Disney redid the film (they really remastered it) they added an entire new music score with a full orchestra throughout the entire film and I loved it.
