Rose Faerie's Review Violence: There are planes and airships that shoot at each other. Some guns are fired, though the worst injury anyone receives is a scratch to the face. Buildings are damaged, and soldiers fall from an airship, though no one sees what happens to them. I'd say it's typical PG level violence. Sex and Nudity: None. Theological Themes: Words spoken by the royal family of Laputa have a special effect, which seems magical. Problematic Themes: None. Overall: This was one of my favorite Ghibli movies as a kid. I really liked Sheeta and I thought the art was extra pretty in this one. It also made my interest in "Gulliver's Travels" increase, as Laputa seems to be inspired by the floating island of the same name in Jonathan Smith's novel. The characters are lively and colorful and the stakes were higher than any other Ghibli film that I had seen. The world that was crafted was definitely interesting and unique. It gives off its own special vibe, and it's definitely worth a watch. I recommend this one to older children and up. |
