A studio Ghibli film and it was enchanting. Pazu's life is changed when Sheeta falls from the sky. Around her neck is a glowing crystal and there are several people who want it, this chase leads them to the legendary castle in the sky of Laputa and there they discover a lot about it.

Interesting and

heartwarming as always.

Two children are caught up in the search for a flying castle.

3/4 (Good).

It's weird how boring this movie gets, given that it is stuffed with a million cool ideas.
