This is the story of Sheeta, a young girl pursued by two adversarial parties: a secret government agency headed by the nefarious Colonel Muska on the one hand and a band of sibling pirates led by their mother, Dola, on the other. Creativity and depth are nothing new for animation but the scope that Miyazaki takes on in this narrative sets it apart from many equally excellent Disney movies that opt for simplicity in the story department. Here is an imaginative and elaborate story told with maturity and heart. With Mouse marketing behind them, Miyazaki's films have made him arguably the most famous anime auteur in the West.Īpproaching its silver anniversary, Castle in the Sky isn't among the most celebrated of the Ghibli canon, at least not by English audiences, but the film nevertheless enjoys nigh-universal critical acclaim - and for good reason.
Like many other Ghibli films, Castle eluded American audiences (a questionable in-flight dub, later limitedly released to theaters, notwithstanding) until Disney commissioned an all-new English dub and released it stateside. Hayao Miyazaki co-founded Studio Ghibli in 1985, just in time for the release of his second feature as both writer and director: Castle in the Sky.
