Hong Kong DVD edition
All Miyazaki's are anime masterpieces and everyone's
seem to have their special favourite, but maybe, this beautiful
one with haunting flight scenes from above the clouds but also somewhat sad
one with a lot of people actually dying,
is my favourite. Sheeta, an orphaned peasant girl from the North, has got
this magic crystal and is chased by govern-
mental agent Muska and the aeroplane pirate gang led by Mother. In a mining
city she meets the boy Pazu and the chase
continues underground in old mines, and the animation is almost magically
beautiful. An old miner tell them the truth
about the crystal, it has been created by the ancient floating civilization
Laputa who once ruled the earth.
