Laputa

In Australia, Laputa was just released on DVD. I had heard a lot about this movie, and I had seen and loved Spirited Away. So I bought the DVD, and I think it is now my favourite Anime movie ever!

; If it's not too much trouble... could you post a summary?

Thanks!

Ja!

Ja!

In the U.S., it was released as Castle in the Sky by Disney/Buena Vista. Below is a brief summary which I borrowed from another website. The animation was quite good for the 80's and you should see it at least once.

"Pazu lives a lonely life. He barely scrapes together a living, until a very special gift falls from the sky. One night on his way home, Pazu sees a girl floating to the earth. Taking her to his house he soon learns that Sheeta holds the key to the ancient city of Laputa, the flying fortress that his father died pursuing. Being the key to such an ancient power, Sheeta is pursued by both the military and pirates. Can Pazu lead them both to Laputa before it is too late?"

I loved Laputa ("Castle in the Sky" in the US). But then again I'm a big fan of Miyzaki. All of his previous movies should be out on DVD in the US by the end of the year, but it'll take a while longer for them to get to Australia. When you get the chance you should also check out:

Princess Mononoke
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
Kiki's Delivery Service
My Neighbor Totoro
Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro
Porco Rosso

If you like that go get Nausicaa of the Valley of the wind, that's my fave, from the same guy! (Laputa is up there with it though!)

Yeah, I've seen the DVDs of most of those in the stores here. I haven't seen Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind or My Neighbor Totoro here yet, but I have been hanging to see Totora.

I bought Kiki's Delivery Service along with Laputa, but I haven't been able to watch it yet.
