Moviegoers are saying
Studio Ghibli's Castle in the Sky captivates audiences with its soaring musical score and breathtaking aerial sequences, though some viewers question character dynamics and the protagonists' seemingly supernatural fearlessness at impossible heights. This beloved animated adventure has the power to make viewers gaze at clouds differently, wondering if floating castles might actually exist within those billowing formations.

Incredible But why were those 30 year old men simping for Sheeta, a 13 year old
Wahltart WhitJun 13, 2022The fact that no one is scared of heights in Ghibli films is beyond me. Pazu really just be hanging on the side of a castle thousands of feet in the air like it’s a walk in the park.

Castle in the Sky has one of the best scores in an animated film. I remember when I was little, after the first couple of times I watched this film, I would always look up at a big billowing cloud and wonder if Laputa was really in there. Sometimes I would play the music in…

AHHH WATCH IT ITS REALLY GOOD!!!!!
Jackson likedCastle in the Sky6/10 A good Studio Ghibli film but not the best. There’s not too much depth to the characters and their relationship and the plot was pretty predictable. Although it was still an enjoyable watch and the animation was great.
Doodooboy lovedCastle in the SkyAnimation back in the day was hitting. Unique story and characters. Miyazaki’s animation always feels so conforming and fun.
