| Castle in the Sky : 4 of 5 | |

 When I bought Kiki's Delivery Service on DVD, I went ahead and got the three movie set of Miyazaki's films distributed by Disney. I hadn't seen Castle in the Sky before, but I had seen a few stills from the movie, so I was excited to finally experience it. Wow, what a great movie! On the whole, it's very different from Miyazaki's other work, since it's much more action packed - the thrills never stop! The story involves a legendary floating city in the clouds, and fascinating air ships and other vehicles are everywhere you look (flying seems to be a theme in all Miyazaki films). Our heroes are an industrious little miner boy, who does everything he can to rescue a young princess, along with the help of some "kind" pirates. The plot has lots of twists and turns, but still stops for some touching moments (perhaps a little too quickly, though). The bonus features are identical to those on the Kiki DVD - fun Japanese trailers and semi-boring storyboards, but the movie itself is definitely worth seeing!
