Inspired by 'Gulliver's Travels,' the fantasy-adventure Castle in theSky (1986) was Hayao Miyazaki's third feature, and helped to establishhis reputation as a visionary in both Japan and America. The orphan Sheetainherited a mysterious crystal that links her to the legendary sky-kingdom ofLaputa. With the help of resourceful Pazu and a rollicking band of skypirates, she makes her way to the ruins of the once-great civilization.Sheeta and Pazu must outwit the evil Muska, who plans to use Laputa's scienceto make himself ruler of the world. Castle echoes elements inMyazaki's earlier Nausicaä, and anticipates imagery in his laterfilms, from My Neighbor Totoro to Spirited Away.Disney's newEnglish dub, which features Anna Paquin (Sheeta), James Van Der Beek (Pazu),and Cloris Leachman (pirate matriarch Dola), is lively and close in tone tothe original Japanese, if a bit talkier. The excitingflying sequences, appealing characters, and fantastic vision of asteam-powered future Jules Verne might have imagined make Castle in theSky a must-have for fans of Japanese and Western animation. (Unrated:suitable for ages 10 and older: violence) --Charles Solomon
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - English Dub Pales in Comparison
I was excited about this film at first but was quickly disappointed. For one they changed the title from Laputa to just Castle in the Sky. Laputa refers to the floating island in the classic tale of Gullivers Travels. Which I adore and had hoped Castle in the Sky would pay tribute to it.
I thought Pazu's voice was a bit old sounding for him and Anna Paquins voice dub just annoyed me. I would have enjoyed this film more if it weren't for the poor choice of voice actors.

Rating:  - One of Miyazaki's more adventure-based films...
I love almost all of Miyazaki's works (with the exception of Porco Rosso), and Castle in the Sky is no different.Miyazaki's story-telling style tends to be rather slow-paced, which is fine, but I really enjoyed this movie for its faster, more energetic pacing.Almost immediately, the action starts, and it doesn't let up until the momentous climax.
The story itself is filled with entertaining fantasy elements- including sky pirates, princesses, and exciting chase scenes.Overall, the story ... Read More
Rating: - Not A Children's Movie
Apparently most, if not all the reviewers, did not mind subjecting their children to a very violent movie. I do not care what artistic wonder this film may be, it is definitly not a movie for children under 8 or 9 years of age.
Rating:  - Totally cool.
This movie took me a few watches to get to like, but ended up really liking it.
Rating: - terrible voice acting
the voice acting was atrocious, from top to bottom with the exception of mark hamil.unbelievable voicing, it really hurt the film to have this constant feeling that "Yes I'm reading my lines from a page, and I do every line the exact same because I am a terrible actor."
It's a great film, but the voicings ruined it for me.It probably wont make much difference to kids, though, so this film gets the 5 stars, they won't notice how terrible all the voice actors are.
