LAPUTA: Castle in the Sky (Tenkuu no Shiro Rapyuta)
“Laputa: Castle in the Sky” is an animated adventure story from Japan that illustrates the extraordinary quality of that country’s animation as well as a minor cultural difference between Japanese and American audiences. Part science fiction and part fable, the film is the product of a culture where cartoons and comic books have a huge appeal for adults as well as children. Its detailed fantasy world, including a dark turn-of-the-century mining town and candy-colored futuristic space bikes, is as alluring as any live-action film.”—Caryn James, NY Times (8.18.89)
