A teenager is charged with the care of his younger sister after an Allied firebombing during World War II destroys their home and kills their mother.

“Castle in the Sky is an astounding animated feature written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. It is an imaginative extrapolation of a reference in Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" to Laputa, a floating island-city hovering over Balnibarbi. Miyazaki uses that to spin off a modernistic sci-fi fable with a subtle ecological message.

Here is a children's film made for the world we should live in, rather than the one we occupy. A film with no villains. No fight scenes. No evil adults. No fighting between the two kids. No scary monsters. No darkness before the dawn. A world that is benign. A world where if you meet a strange towering creature in the forest, you curl up on its tummy and have a nap.

A heartwarming and deeply imaginative retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairy tale “The Little Mermaid,” from the dream triumvirate of Hayao Miyazaki, Pixar’s John Lasseter and Disney.

“Studio Ghibli has produced one animated classic after another, but Spirited Away  is the one that goes into the vault. Part fantasy, part adventure, part dream, and part metaphor, Hayao Miyazaki's masterpiece follows a 10-year-old girl who's forced to work in a extra-dimensional bath-house for ghosts and demons after a mysterious spell turns her parents into pigs.
