Miyazaki grabs your attention at the start with an attack on an airship by a group of sky pirates on steampunk wigged insect flying machines. A girl, flees the approaching marauders by thumping her adult, stealing a necklace and falling to what has to be her death. Cut to credits…. Comon this is classic adventure movie and better than a just a cliff hanger.
We have armored trains, dangerous mines, more dangerous flying, sympathetic robots, treasure and magic crystals. The romance between young boy and girl is properly without kissing or any teen age yucky stuff. There is a fun take on the street fight and things blow up and, and, and.. ok I am about to hyperventilate, so adventure story- Right?
The Girl, Sheeta, American voice by Anna Pankin finds herself under the protection of Pazu, an orphan- American voice James Van der Beek. Together they face all the adventures a young boy might hope to face and by bravery and grit the two solve the riddle and the day. Speaking of American Voices, Cloris Leachman voices Dola, the garrulous head of the Sky Pirates who clearly has more fun with her character than any two other people in the cast.
Yeah I know girls don’t have to be under the protection of boys. Sheeta does get herown points and her own dramatic moments, but this is really about Pazu, or maybe that is just the boy in me, .Girls may see it different. And that goes to the genius of Miyazaki.
To be fair there are weaknesses with the movie. As a youngster I prolyl would have not noticed the needless death and destruction. This movie is family friendly with all caps. The casual death of an army bothers the adult in me as much as the rest of the story was all I ever wanted of the heroes of my youth.
Compared to other Studio Ghibli movies Castles in the Sky is not quite, scene for scene as beautiful. There are also some plot points that were unnecessary or do not bear close inspection.
It is an old film, being released in 1986, and it is Miyazaki's first with Ghibli, but it is not dated in the slightest bit. It's just a timeless retelling of a story about a boy and girl in trouble. And it happens to have some of the most talented animators on the planet let loose to do whatever they please in a steampunk-styled world. The dub is also really good in my eyes, so either the Japanese track or the English dub will do. I think when Ghibli does a dub well, it actually enhances the animation at times. I like both tracks here, and I recommend people listen to them both at some point. Not enough can be said about this one folks. Pure classic. This is a top notch bluray with fantastic detail and resolution. Go out and get this one.

El contenido del Blu ray es perfecto. La imagen es evidentemente de una restauración de la película, haciéndola ver como si hubiera salido en años recientes. Colores vivos, aspect ratio original (pantalla completa) y ningún tipo de suciedad, manchas o polvo presente en la imagen, es impecable el trabajo de restauración, no solo en video, pero también en audio. A pesar de ser una pista estéreo (Japonés DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0), se escuchaba muy imponente e impactante.
Contiene bastante material extra. Es corto, pero obviamente mucho mejor que una "galería de fotos" (cofcofZimacofcof).
Esta edición es de coleccionistas 100%. Si eres fan de Ghibli, definitivamente adquiere esta. Puede que a veces nos acusen de "malinchistas" por preferir ediciones importadas y no las nacionales de Zima, pero la realidad es que la distribuidora (Shout Factory) de estas ediciones de Ghibli se esmeran bastante en traerte el material extra de antes (de las ediciones de Disney) junto a NUEVOS contenidos, incluyendo el folleto, por lo que esta es la edición definitiva y lo mejor es que es fácil de conseguir. Eso sí, ojalá y la encuentres a un precio razonable.
