Inspired by one chapter of Gulliver's Travels, Laputa: Castle in the Sky is a 1986 fantasy action-adventure tale and the first by now-legendary anime studio Studio Ghibli, which was created to independently produce the film. This was Hayao Miyazaki's third film; much of the staff consists of alums from Miyazaki's previous work, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.This film could be considered a fairy tale... one with Steampunk/Diesel Punk, flying castles, secret princesses, and magic. The film opens with a family of Sky Pirates led by the matriarch Dola attacking an airship intent on stealing a blue crystal amulet from a girl named Sheeta. Sheeta, who had already been kidnapped by the evil State Sec Colonel Muska, uses the opportunity to escape and falls to what appears to be certain death until her pendant ignites and starts gently floating her back to Earth. Her descent is spotted by a young miner named Pazu, who catches her and takes her home, eager to determine if this mysterious floating girl is somehow connected with the fabled floating castle Laputa, which his father once saw, though no one believed him or his photograph.Dodging another attempt by Dola's gang to capture Sheeta's crystal, the kids manage to escape... right into the hands of the military. Taking the children prisoner in a castle, Muska convinces Sheeta to cooperate in his search for Laputa by threatening harm to Pazu. Sent back to his village, Pazu is immediately captured by Dola's gang who immediately set off on yet another attempt to seize the crystal. Reluctantly making common cause with Dola in order to rescue Sheeta, Pazu joins the pirates. Meanwhile, a despondent Sheeta recites a "magic spell" her grandmother taught her to recite in times of trouble. The spell activates her pendant, triggering a beam that points the way to Laputa and a dormant Laputian robot hidden in the dungeons below. Responding to Sheeta's request for aid the robot causes such destruction that Pazu and Dola manage to rescue Sheeta in the confusion but Muska ends up with the pendant. Muska and the local Army commander promptly set out for Laputa aboard the Goliath, an enormous aerial battlecruiser.Seriously outgunned and outnumbered but armed with Sheeta's description of the location of Laputa, the kids and the pirates nevertheless try to head off the government agents aboard Dola's own airship, the Tiger Moth, hoping that fair winds and a little luck will allow them to beat the army to the prize. What will they find in Laputa? Will it be filled with treasure or danger? What does Muska want with Laputa, and why is he so obsessed with it?The film did not reach the United States for over a decade; Streamline Pictures distributed an English dub with several regulars as an in-flight movie for Japan Airlines, but this version was only distributed on a now out-of-print DVD in Japan. Disney eventually brought the film to America in 2003 with a voice cast including Anna Paquin, James Van Der Beek, Cloris Leachman, Mandy Patinkin, Mark Hamill, and Andy Dick as well as a new score provided by Joe Hisaishi (who wrote the original soundtrack). This latter decision caused controversy with fans and critics more familiar with the more silent Japanese version, but Joe Hisaishi mentioned in his blog that he and Miyazaki were pleased with the soundtrack.The Disney dub, originally recorded in 1998, was initially scheduled for a 1999 video release, but continually delayed before finally debuting on VHS and DVD in April 2003, alongside Spirited Away and Kiki's Delivery Service. This dub is one of only two Ghibli films (the other being Kiki's Delivery Service) that Disney "Americanized"; future Ghibli releases only featured new voicework instead of the extensive musical reworking that Laputa and Kiki's Delivery Service underwent. A 2010 re-release of the film replaced the re-scored soundtrack with the original for the subs and also removed some of the additional chatter added to the dub, but the faithful subtitle track on the 2003 DVD release was replaced with a dubtitle. This has been rectified with a reissue on BD and DVD in 2017, providing fans with the choice to see the Disney dub with either score (minus extra dialogue and redone sound effects) — as well as a subtitle track for fans of the Japanese version.Not to be confused with either the Chinese Series Novoland: The Castle in the Sky or Castle in the Air, the literary sequel to Howl's Moving Castle, the latter of which was also adapted into a film by Studio Ghibli.

Never Trust a Trailer: A minor example: One of the trailers for the 2003 dub included a brief scene that looked like Pazu and Sheeta in a hanglider, flying towards Laputa. This scene is from the end of the film, and in actuality they're flying away from it. The arrival on the floating island is nowhere near as smooth.

Midair Repair: One of the odd jobs Pazu is asked to do while he and Sheeta are in the Tiger Moth is provide maintenance to the dirigible's rudder. Which he does, while the ship is aloft and he's dangling from a rope. It's as bad on the sense of the audience's acrophobia as it sounds.

Anachronism Stew
 Castle in the Sky / int_259d5879
comment
Anachronism Stew: The general technology level is roughly that of 1920-1925: radios are used as wireless telegraphs, long-range air travel is done with dirigibles, steam engines remain commonly in use, and automobiles have not yet become commonplace. Pazu's rural village lags a couple decades behind. Laputan technology/magic was obviously at least a century ahead, with highly adaptable robots and energy weapons. Even within these split tech levels, there are technological anachronisms: all of which was probably intentional to add to the fairy-tale atmosphere.

General Muoro decides Muska has outlived his usefulness after he test-fires one of Laputa's superweapons on the surface (the understated enthusiasm Muska showed while doing so may have also pushed the General toward this). Unfortunately, he finds out that he's only shooting at a hologram of Muska and Muska feels the same way about him and subjects him to a Disney Villain Death.

The Greatest Story Never Told
 Castle in the Sky / int_3e95582f
comment
The Greatest Story Never Told: Implied in-universe at the ending. The entire military expedition sent to find Laputa was killed by Muska before they could report their discovery to their government and Laputa itself has relocated to the world's upper atmosphere, out of reach of humanity's current level of technology. The only survivors of the incident are Sheeta, Pazu, and the Dola Gang, who all agree that keeping Laputa's existence a secret from the rest of the world is for the best.

comment
The Guards Must Be Crazy: Subverted in the initial scene. There the guards are fending off the Dola Gang, and even then they leave Muska in charge of watching the girl. Muska later lays the blame for Sheeta's escape on the military because Dola was able to decode one of their transmissions. At Laputa, when the pirates are overpowered and bound, the soldiers forget to search Dola. She loans Pazu a grenade launcher she had hidden in her puffy pants.

Would Hurt a Child: The majority of the villains are big hulking men, and very few of them show hesitation to hurt two young children. Muoro advocates torturing Sheeta to get the location of Laputa out of her, both children get shot at, Pazu is bashed on the head hard enough to knock him out for several hours, Sheeta is slapped and dragged around by Muska near the climax, etc.

Conveniently an Orphan: Both the children. Pazu's mother isn't mentioned and his father is implied to have taken his own life when he was called a liar about Laputa. Sheeta's parents were said to have died in her backstory. Thus there is no one to help the latter in the beginning, and no one to stop the former from going after her.

Heavenly Concentric Circles: Laputa is an idyllic floating city and the remains of an advanced, ancient civilization. By the film's present, it has become the stuff of myths. Laputa is arranged similarly to a medieval city on a hill —with thick, concentric walls built around an enormous tree. Its exterior is comprised of expansive green areas while the inside is a maze of high-tech circular corridors and ambients.

Only Laputa survived, and the technology there is far more advanced than anything else seen in the movie.

When Muska goes crazy at the end, Mark Hamill really gets to have fun, laughing maniacally and spouting a very memorable "Goodbye! Enjoy the ride!" prior to sending the soldiers to their deaths. There are even places where he sounds like The Joker. The pirate trio of Louie, Charles/Shalulu, and Henri all sound like they are obviously enjoying themselves. You can tell Jim Cummings is having a blast doing that line, and the role in general. The General in the Japanese version definitely fits this trope. Ichiro Nagai was practically the go-to guy for hammy villains in his day.

Airborne Aircraft Carrier: The Goliath and the Tiger Moth, although they are very different in concept. The Tiger Moth relies solely on its smaller "flaptor" aircraft for combat, and while the Goliath can be glimpsed carrying three scout airplanes hanging on its underside, it doesn't deploy them in-story. But it has enough guns and infantry on board to invade a small country.

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness

comment
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: General Muoro decides Muska has outlived his usefulness after he test-fires one of Laputa's superweapons on the surface (the understated enthusiasm Muska showed while doing so may have also pushed the General toward this). Unfortunately, he finds out that he's only shooting at a hologram of Muska and Muska feels the same way about him and subjects him to a Disney Villain Death. Dola implies to Pazu that this is likely the fate that awaits Sheeta once she fulfills her end of the bargain with Muska in helping him find Laputa. Muska leaves his bodyguards to die just before he takes control of Laputa. They are shown falling to their deaths later when trying to climb out of the city.

To help ensure her cooperation, Muska even left a large number of luxurious gifts in the middle of the room, although the only thing that eventually motivates her to talk is Pazu being freed, with the vague promise that she too would eventually get her freedom.

Too Dumb to Live: The Army and General Muoro ultimately play this trope straight, all too happy to follow Muska to Laputa's many treasures no matter how much they test the immense power of Laputa and the crystal carried by Sheeta. When they finally realize Muska's true intentions, the General shoots at what is just a hologram of Muska. This proves a fatal mistake and the Army is quickly massacred as they try to flee the city.

Lost in Translation: Although faithful in spirit overall, some aspects of the original script didn't survive in the script for the Disney dub. The references to "Gulliver's Travels" and "Treasure Island" are both omitted, and the last part of Sheeta's speech at the end of the film is changed from "you can't survive without mother Earth" to "the world cannot live without love," which feels out of place with the actual song. Oddly enough, even though the forgotten '80s JAL dub maintains the last part of Sheeta's speech and the "Treasure's Island" reference, it too omits the "Gulliver's Travels" reference.

Victoria's Secret Compartment: Dola somehow manages to fill her cleavage with jewels even as they barely escape with their lives. Then there's the grenade launcher plus reloads she keeps hidden in her stuffed trousers.

Cool Guns: Miyazaki reveals an interest in World War One type weapons. The pistols are all British Webley revolvers, the rifles are British Lee-Enfield bolt-actions, and the machine-guns in the fortress are Maxim guns in the Russian-military model (with a shield and small wheels).

Shout-Out
 Castle in the Sky / int_c75df49a

Shout-Out: The fox-squirrel critters from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind make an appearance in Laputa. The odd headless beaver-tailed creatures and the longhaired yaks are from Nausicaa as well, and the robots strongly resemble the Heedra. The latter three only appear in the manga. The robots with guns as their "faces" are reminiscent of robots in Gulliver's Travels Beyond the Moon, a 1965 animated feature film on which Hayao Miyazaki had one of his first jobs. More significantly, Castle and the 1965 film both took inspiration from Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels. The tree floating away into space resembles the final shot of Silent Running. A slow, old, but faithful tram engine with a number 7 on its side? Hmmm...

In My Language, That Sounds Like...
 Castle in the Sky / int_d9723630
comment
In My Language, That Sounds Like...: The chapter of Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels dealing with a floating island by the name of "Laputa" was actually a scathing satire on scientists and the British royal family, both of whom Swift cordially despised. The name was intentionally derived from one of the worst Spanish epithets—"la puta," which loosely translates as "the whore"—partly as a further insult, and partly for the sake of an etymological joke. His idiot-savant scientists assumed the name derived from Greek or Latin, when its true origin was obvious to the readers. However, given that this work was centuries old and in another language, Miyazaki was innocent of the name's true derivation when he decided to base his movie on the works of Swift and Jules Verne. Consequently, many international releases drop the "Laputa:" from the beginning of the title. It helps that, at least in the English dub, the name is pronounced differently than "la puta," going with LAP-yoo-TA instead.

Balance of Good and Evil: Sheeta's spells are both positive ("Save me and revive the eternal light [that shows the way home]") and negative ("one she told me I must never use... the spell of destruction"), and her grandmother taught her that the good ones would be useless without also having the bad ones. Ultimately, the spell of destruction is the one that saves the day.

Ghibli Hills: Naturally. Pazu's hometown is a mining village, surrounded by deep chasms riddled with tunnels and endless wooden scaffolding, and the green grass on the surface is punched full of craters because of the robot's laser attack on Sheeta's agressors. Also, it is another Ghibli film that references an apocalyptic past — particularly obvious when one considers the parallels between the superweapon in the heart of the Castle and nuclear weaponry.

Cool Airship: The Tiger Moth, controlled by the Dola and her pirates. It even has a crow's nest that can turn into a kite. The Goliath is a much bigger one, controlled by the army and has enough firepower to take out just about anything that challenges it. Aside from the robots from Laputa, of course. The implication is that dirigible technology is the default for air travel.

comment
The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: Averted. Dola's sky pirates begin the movie when they skyjack an airship, although they pass up the chance to rob the passengers in favor of finding Sheeta. They favor gas grenades and other non-lethal weapons, and seem pretty casual about violence and kidnapping. However, they're definitely Type 2 Pirates: they're in it for action, excitement, and treasure. While they're just as greedy as the Army, Dola points out that pirates should be held to a different standard than soldiers.

Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: Dola and her boys are typical Miyazaki heavies who eventually get won over to the good side.They weren't really evil, just goofy pirates. This is Averted with Muska. He is actually the most unusual villain for a Miyazaki movie as he is totally malevolent with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. The only other Miyazaki villain that even comes close is the very similar Count Cagliostro from The Castle of Cagliostro, but that was really more Miyazaki playing around in someone else's universe.
