March 20, 2008Wow, this is the first anime that dissapointed me a little! The first half is ok, it's fast and filled with action.
The idea of a Castle in the Sky sounds appealling, but it wasn't really. I think they could have spiced it up a little if they focused on that a little more. Ther...( read more) -
February 17, 2008One of Miyazaki's early works from the 80s, already showing all the characteristics of his highly praised later work of anime movies like Spirited Away or Mononoke: lovely characters, beautiful design, spectacular action and a message of friendship and respect towards nature.

January 20, 2008One of Miyazaki's very first masterpieces. Another tale of endless fantasy and adventure. Funny, sweet and romantic as always. Incredibly advanced technically for something made more than 20 years ago.

October 27, 2009I loved this film so much. It was like the best of Terry Gilliam mixed with the magic of animation and the power of a great fantasy epic.

March 12, 2008What an excellent adventurous film brought to the table by Miyazaki. I have always liked his films but this one really brought the perspective of his genius. I loved this tale and the music really took you into the story. This will forever be a classic anime film in my book. The cast for this film really surprised me also and they were great choices for each of the characters. My favorite def would have to be the mother played by "Cloris Leachman" and "Andy Dick" as the pirate. I wish only that I would have seen this film sooner.
5 Stars.. WAY UP!!!! -

June 12, 2007One of my personal favorite Miyazaki movies; lovable characters, beautiful music (both in Japanese and Disney-dubbed versions), fine performances (Leachman and Hamill rule) and a adventurous, rousing storyline guaranteed to engage.
