Atom User Reviews for Castle in the Sky - Studio Ghibli Fest 2023
loved it!
My family loves Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki, it's such a cool experience to see these films in theatres!
Always been my favorite Ghibli movie...
Awesome movie!! I originally seen this movie over 14 years ago. It is the movie that made me become a huge anime fan. I was so happy that 14 years later I was able to take my kids to see it theaters. This is my daughter’s favorite movie from studio Ghibli. Mine is Howls Moving Castle can’t wait to see it in theaters soon..
Metacritic
Its detailed fantasy world, including a dark turn-of-the-century mining town and candy-colored futuristic space bikes, is as alluring as any live-action film. Yet this two-hour story about a lost princess, a flying island and space pirates is liable to strain the patience of adults and the attention spans of children.

Viewed from a purely narrative perspective, Castle in the Sky is a fun, engaging two hours. Miyazaki knows how to keep things moving without belaboring certain scenes. He doesn’t speak down to his audience and isn’t afraid to mix in exposition with action.
