Laputa:Castle in the Sky

[FaerieChica]

I just discovered this film, and I was wondering if anyone else was a fan. The music score was fantastic in my opinion. I'm tempted to find the soundtrack. If it's not known already, I'm a Miyazaki fanatic, so it's no surprise that I liked this movie. It's just a wonderful thing when you discover a great film, especially if you own it; it happened to be a part of my Miyazaki set(I didn't realize it was on there cause everything is written in Japanese).

i love that movie. actually i love all of miyazaki's works

[Lady Arianrod]

I loved the music too! It was very otherworldly and epic.

I think that Joe Hisaishi is the composer for many Miyazaki movies, but I'm not sure.

I remember I stumbled about this when I was searching to download another anime movie (can't remember what... might've been Nausicaa) many years ago... and the name sounded SO familiar so I just got it anyways. Watch it and was amazed... and then I remembered I saw it on one of my oldish Disney VHSes as a "coming soon" (of course it didn't come as soon as people thought^^) Then I realized it came out with Kiki and Spirited Away and picked all 3 of those DVDs^^

I do wanna watch Laputa again... AMAZING movie! Heh, Miyazaki borrowed his robot design from one of the 2 Lupin 3 eps he directed. He sure like to recycle old favorite designs sometimes^^

I really like Miyazaki's works as well. This, in my opinion, wasn't his best, but it was pretty good. I liked the dubbed version better than the subbed version because it made it so much more hilarious! I think there could have been a little more character developement and the ending wasn't what I expected at all...

It was good, though.

[Arnobius]

I didn't care for this one, and was MSTing it by the time it was over. Probably one of my least favorites by him.

It's an awesome movie. I saw it with my friends and liked it alot!

[TrigunX89]

I bought the movie a couple years ago, being a fan of other Miyazaki films. I must admit, the first time I saw it I didn't like it that much. Watching it again, however, I liked it a lot! I think I was in a bad mood the first time...

[bigsleepj]

I love this movie. And I want to by the soundtrack sometime.

[glitch1501]

this one is my favorite!

i love all his movies

[Radical Dreamer]

Ooh. Big fan. XD I just watched this one a few weeks ago, though I had wanted to see it since I was about 10 years old. LOVED the movie. The music, the characters, the voices (I watched the sub, never got the time to watch the dub, since I had to rent it), the story, the beautiful animation, everything was so perfect! It's become my favorite Miyazaki film (of what I've seen of his works). Lovely, lovely, lovely.

[Neko Niisan]

Only seen a small segment of the entire movie but I really liked what I saw, although being a Miyazaki fan prior to that may have had some influence.

[beau99]

I love the movie.

The dub isn't great, but it's not horrible either. It's still better than watching subtitles.

[FaerieChica]

I would like to see the dubbed version, but unfortunately, my pack of 13 Miyazaki films is imported, so everything is in Japanese. Then again, it's probably best that way cause I would end up never watching subs. I thought I had heard the legend of Laputa before, but I can't seem to remember when or where. They mentioned Gulliver's travels in the movie, so maybe it was from that.

[Snow White]

Actually I have the dubbed version sitting on my self right behind me- along with Spirited Away, Kiki's ..., Princess Mon. ..., and of course Howl's Moving Castle (had to get into it with Amazon. But there was no way I was missing out on it!) And there are a few new ones from Hayao coming out. Go check out them out. I think they look cool I've seen the trailors @ YouTube. http://www.onlineghibli.com/

Once TMC did a Thursday night run of all of Hayao's works- then Cartoon Network ( : PPP) did a Friday night line up. Keep you eyes peeled.

[FaerieChica]

Thanks so much for the link. Yeah, I discovered Princess Mononoke on that TCM line-up. Hopefully they do something like that again, although I own most of those now. I seriously need to buy Howl's Moving Castle though. I was just thinking, that guy on Laputa, the other heir to the throne, he was kinda crazy. Freaked me out a lil.

[BrandonHeat]

I thought it was good, but it dragged on a little too long. It's my least favorite Miyazaki work (my favorite being either Mononoke or Howl)

[Blitzkrieg1701]

Castle in the Sky is one of my favorite Miyazaki films. There aren't enough movies in his body of where that just cut loose with a good old fashoined adventure, which makes this one kind of special. I can see why some people don't like it for that, though; I admit that the story's pretty slight. But it's better paced than the others, the characters (while very simple) are cool, and of course it looks great.

[RobinSena]

I saw Castle in the Sky about 2 months ago.. I really liked it.. Not as much as Nausicaa, but it's still cool.

[Sami_jane]

i have it. its a wonderful movie to watch. my favorite is still howls moving castle but hey all of myazakis films are great.

[FaerieChica]

I didn't realize there were so many Miyazaki fans on here. I guess I should have known, considering how great his films are. I got my sister to watch Castle in the Sky last nite, but she was weirded out by Mom, the pirate. I tried to tell her that it wasn't a man with pigtails. I don't think she believed me though.
