Castle in the Sky is the third feature film by the Japanese grandmaster of animation, Hayao Miyazaki, and the first movie released by Studio Ghibli. Despite being successful in Japan and cementing Miyazaki’s reputation in the worldwide animation community, Castle in the Sky never received a widespread theatrical U.S. The movie played in some North American festivals during the late 1980s but it was unavailable until 2003 when, after several delays, Disney made it available on DVD.
A new Blu-Ray version, distributed by GKids, includes the original Japanese soundtrack (with subtitles) and the English-language dub. Castle in the Sky may be the most straightforward action/adventure movie Miyazaki has made (and that’s saying something).

It’s also the least thematically dense. Although there are echoes of anti-war and pro-environment messages, they are in the subtext. This is in contrast with many of Miyazaki’s later, better-known films (like ). The director stated that his intention with Castle in the Sky was to make a film that children would enjoy.
In that, he succeeded. To steal a phrase from a Christmas song, it works for “kids from one to 92” (although it might be considered a little scary for those on the lower end).
