Studio Ghibli’s very first film, Castle in the Sky, is an imaginative and ornately detailed vision that mixes Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels with an environmentally-conscious theme that presaged later Miyazaki films like Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away. A young girl with a mysterious crystal pendant falls out of the sky and into the arms and life of young Pazu. Together they search for a floating island in the sky, site of a long-dead civilization promising enormous wealth and power to those who can unlock its secrets.
