Review of Castle in the Sky

First of all, this is Hayao Miyazaki. Nothing is bad. Let's just all understand that. Me personally, this was my first Studio Ghibli film. I was swept away. Introduction: The story is about a boy named Patsu and a girl named Sheeta who are in search of Laputa, the Castle in the Sky. They encounter dangers and triumphs in their journey there. But, something else is brewing. When they meet, Patsu notices a peculiar necklace worn by Sheeta. Could this necklace change their fates? Story - 10: Such a unique story. The idea of a journey to a castle in the sky is definitely fairytail style. Iloved the story itself. It was very clear and easy to understand. In addition, the story can fit into a lot of categories. Adventure, Romance, Tragedy, Slice of Life just to name a few. The story feels timeless and every time I watch this, I just feel like a 6 year old (first time I ever watched this movie).

Art - 10: Gorgeous characters and animations. It fits the kid-like tone to the storyline.

Sound - 9: This movie is old so the sound on it isn't as spectacular as newer movies and animes. The sound effects are old but I guess it would've been top of the line back in the 1980s.

Characters - 10: There are only a few characters that I actually remember from all the mangas and animes I've encountered. I can easily remember every character from this movie. Each character is unique and doesn't remind me of anyone else from other stories. They're colorful, young, bright, and courageous. Everyone, from the worst bad guy, to the heroes of the story.

Enjoyment - 10: I've watched this movie at least 10x in 2012. Not counting the times before then. It's magical every single time. I don't often watch movies over and over. This is one I can watch at least 9001 times. Every second is a masterpiece.

Overall - 10: I can't say much else about this movie. I can recommend this without a 2nd thought to anybody. Heck I can walk down 5th Ave and talk to every single person about this movie. It's just that amazing.
