Castle in the Sky [Subtitled]

Another Ghibli Fest is upon us!

Castle in the Sky (1986) is the first film animated by Studio Ghibli and was partly inspired by Miyazaki's trip to Wales where he witnessed the aftermath of the 1984 coal miner's strike.

Here is a summary:

"This high-flying adventure begins when Pazu, an engineer’s apprentice, spies a young girl, Sheeta, floating down from the sky, held aloft by a glowing pendant. Both Sheeta and Pazu are searching for the legendary floating castle, Laputa, and they vow to travel there together to unravel the mystery of the luminous crystal. But their quest won’t be easy, as soon they are being pursued by greedy air pirates, the military, and secret government agents, who all seek the power Sheeta alone can control."

I will put the seat I bought in the comments below.
