Laputa: Castle in The Sky (Blu-ray) (Hong Kong Version) Blu-ray Region A

In 1985, Miyazaki Hayao was fresh off the success of Nausicaa: The Valley of the Wind and decided to start his own animation studio with Takahata Isao. Studio Ghibli was officially established with Laputa: The Castle in the Sky as its first film, and the rest is history. The mythic adventure is not only one of the most important films in Studio Ghibli's history; it's also one of its best. Taking place in a fantastical world with flying pirates, glowing crystals, and floating cities, Laputa is an exciting adventure with iconic images and a timeless message about peace. Still voted by Japanese audiences as one of the best animated films of all time, Laputa: Castle in the Sky comes to Blu-ray for the first time with both the Japan and American versions of the film. Featuring slightly different scores and other minor adjustments, both versions were approved by Miyazaki himself.

Pazu's lifelong dream is to find the legendary Laputa ("City in the Sky"), which his father saw before he passed away. One day, he rescues Sheeta after she descends from the sky, and he finds out that she is the keeper of Laputa's secret, hidden in the mysterious flying stone she carries. Soon, they are pursued by ruthless members of the government and a band of pirates, who are all after the secret for their own purposes. The chase takes Pazu and Sheeta on a perilous adventure that brings them closer and closer to unlocking the secret of Laputa.

This edition includes storyboards, dubbing script, the credit-less versions of the opening and ending, and various promotional materials.
