CASTLE IN THE SKY

Castle in the Sky is an early masterpiece of storytelling and animated filmmaking by Hayao Miyazake, whose imaginative and ornately detailed vision presaged later films like Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away. A young girl with a mysterious crystal pendant falls out of the sky and into the arms and life of young Pazu. Together they search for a floating island in the sky, site of a long-dead civilization promising enormous wealth and power to those who can unlock its secrets. (Fully subtitled)
