En lysande klassiker som genomsyras av allt som vanligtvis kännetecknar Miyazakis skapelser: starka kvinnliga protagonister, godhjärtade skurkar, miljöaktivism, fantastiska naturbilder, och mäktiga flygmaskiner...

...bragende god underholdning i klassisk Miyazaki-stil.

Miyazaki actually manages to convey the feeling of height; you may find yourself gripping the couch a little too hard.

Hayao Miyazaki's sumptuous design, artwork, cliffhanger pacing, and innocent "sense of wonder" so important to science fiction bring Castle in the Sky to glorious life.

...for anyone unfamiliar with Miyazaki’s canon, it provides a great introduction to a wonderfully rich animated catalog.

...one of his few works that matches his always-gorgeous visuals with a compelling story and interesting characters.
