Product Information

タイトル:天空の城ラピュタ
出演:田中真弓／横沢啓子／初井言榮／寺田農／常田富士男／永井一郎
監督:宮崎駿

日本アニメ界のパイオニア、スタジオジブリの長編第1作にして宮崎アニメの真骨頂が発揮された冒険ファンタジー！

少女・シータは、政府調査機構の将校・ムスカ率いる黒メガネの男たちに捕われ飛行船の中にいた。そこへ空中海賊・ドーラ一味が襲いかかってきた。混乱に乗じて逃げようとしたシータは手を滑らせて、飛行船から落ちてしまう。まっさかさまに落下しながら、気を失うシータ。その時、胸のペンダントが青白い光を放ち、彼女の体はふわふわと浮かびはじめる。地上の町、スラッグ峡谷では見習機械工のパズーが、残業の後始末をしていた。空からゆっくりと降りてくる光を見つけたパズーは、慌てて駆け寄り舞い降りてくるシータを受け止める。翌朝、シータはパズーの家で目を覚まし、二人は次第に打ち解けてゆく。ところが、そこへ突然ドーラ一味が乗り込んで来る。パズーはシータを連れて逃げ出すが、黒メガネの男たちも現れ挟み撃ちにされてしまい…。
空中に浮かんでいるという伝説の島"ラピュタ"と、そこに眠る莫大な財宝、そして謎の飛行石をめぐって繰り広げられる冒険ファンタジー。原作・脚本・絵コンテ・監督のすべてを宮崎駿が担当し、「風の谷のナウシカ」の成功を受けて設立されたスタジオジブリが初めて製作したオリジナル長編アニメーションである（1986年8月劇場公開）。孤児のパズーと伝説のラピュタ帝国の血をひく少女・シータ、空中海賊や目的の為なら手段を選ばない政府調査機関の男たち、そしてパズーの住むスラッグ峡谷の心優しき人々が入り乱れ、追いつ追われつのスリリングな冒険を展開する。また、飛行機やロボット、愛すべき悪党たち、ユーモアとペーソス、そして愛・勇気・優しさ・善と悪といった宮崎アニメのあらゆるエッセンスが散りばめられ凝縮された、宮崎アニメの真骨頂と言える作品。宮崎作品に欠かせない久石譲が音楽を担当し、波乱万丈の物語を盛り上げている。

映像特典：絵コンテ映像（マルチアングルで本編とリンク・124分）／劇場予告編集（TVスポット、特報、予告編、プロモーション映像・合計17分）／ノンテロップOP＆ED／ビデオクリップ「天空の書」（2分）

Professional Review of "Laputa: Castle in the Sky (Japan Version - English Subtitles)"

April 25, 2006

This professional review refers to Laputa: Castle in The Sky (Taiwan Version)
Hayao Miyazaki's follow up to Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind is a distinct change of pace. Perhaps as a reaction to Nausicaa's overly dense plot and general grimness, Miyazaki creates a film that lets its elements breathe.

Laputa can almost be viewed as the base clay of Miyazaki's career: it features a surprising number of themes and elements that recur throughout his work. The danger inherent in the abuse of technology is at the core of Nausicaa. There is a fantastic and idealised European setting (actually based on a Miyazaki trip to Wales) that also gets a workout in Kiki's Delivery Service and Porco Rosso. The hugely entertaining and bumbling sky pirates reappear in Porco Rosso. The sky pirates's leader, Ma Dolo, is another of Miyazaki's strong female protagonists, and a mysterious girl with a magical gem is a character at the center of Nadia - Secret of Blue Water, a Miyazaki-initiated project that ended up at Gainax.

Laputa is a pure delight and has plenty to offer viewers of any age. Pazu and Sheeta flee the different groups in one spectacular chase after another. When the pair finally reach the city in the sky, Miyazaki creates a serene environment that makes the viewer contemplate that, although the lives of the pioneers of potentially dangerous technology may be transient once the power is released, it cannot be taken back.

Laputa's influence is everywhere. Its spectacular ending seems to have imprinted itself on Katsuhiro Otomo (Akira, Metropolis, Steam Boy) and even Gonzo's recent (and fantastic) Last Exile owes plenty to this Miyazaki masterpiece.

 Fantastic! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I've watched this so many times that my sister is getting bored of it... It's about a girl with a stone on a necklace that contains powers that the good and evil side both wants. The little girl tries to protect it to prevent evil and only she knows how the stone really works. She eventually meets this very genki boy that helps her escape. Many things happen until they reach the "Castle in the sky"... I reaslly recommend this because it's quite interesting and has excitemnet in it...

 masterpiece Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Laputa is a triumph of animation and the pinnacle of awesome storytelling. Integrating elements of fantasy, romance, adventure, and science fiction, Miyazaki has put together a legendary story of epic proportions that is already considered a classic (well, it has almost been 20 years since the movie's release). Laputa is a story about a boy with a dream of reaching the Castle in the Sky, and the girl who posesses the key to reaching Laputa. This movie is unique in the Ghibli collection as there is a well-identifiable "evil" antagonist: this character contrast results in a much greater sense of urgency and risk, unlike later movies such as Totoro or Spirited Away. The animation itself is top-notch, as every explosion, runaway rail-car, and dragonfly plane are drawn to perfection with vibrant colors and full action. With excellent voice acting and music score to accompany, Laputa provides the viewer with one of the most unforgettable animation experiences ever been created. For those who haven't seen it - get to it quick! And watch all the other Ghibli films while you're at it. For those who have already seen it, recommend it to all your friends! Laputa: Castle in the Sky is without question my favorite (and in my opinion, the best) of all the Ghibli films, and I'm sure you'll all love it as much as I did.
