天空之城
| Tenkuu no Shiro Rapyuta
| Laputa: The Castle in the Sky
Pazu rescues an unconscious girl descending
from the night sky with a glowing pendant around her
neck. He helps the girl, Sheeta, to escape from the
air pirates and the military who are obsessed with Laputa,
a legendary kingdom on a floating island in the sky
with which Sheeta is suspected of being connected.
With a boy eager to set out on an adventure as the
main character, Miyazaki tells "a story that involves
discoveries and wonderful encounters," and "a story
that carries a message of hope." The production of Laputa
also led to the establishment of Studio Ghibli in 1985.
introduction from www.nausicaa.net
This is a very good anime that show the great creativity
of Studio Ghibli's staff. It has "inspired"
many cartoon artist and company to follow its design.
For example, I have seen a cartoon that actually follow
most of the design from this anime. (Including the castle
in the sky, various flying craft, the robot found in
laputa, but I don't want to mention their name here)
