![]() Pazu, a young orphan boy, is searching for Laputa to prove to his fellow townspeople that the floating city isn’t a myth.The story centers around several groups and individuals who are all searching for Laputa, each with their own motives for doing so. Long ago, Laputa was the center of an incredibly advanced civilization, but hundreds of years ago…it vanished. In this world, there’s a huge floating city named Laputa that lies hidden somewhere up in the sky. Like all of Miyazaki’s films that I’ve seen, Castle in the Sky takes place in a world not unlike our own, but with one major difference. I remember being spellbound then, and ever since I’ve been in love with this story. ![]() I saw it on TV in the early 2000s (2003 I think), and it was played up as a really big deal. Not only is it the very first Studio Ghibli film, it is also, so far as I can remember, the very first film by Hayao Miyazaki that I ever saw. The 1986 film Castle in the Sky ( Tenkū no Shiro Rapyuta) holds a very special place in my heart.
