124 mins, Subtitled, 1986, Japan

The very first animated feature released by Studio Ghibli is a thrilling airborne adventure inspired by Gulliver’s Travels. It helped secure Hayao Miyazaki’s reputation as a true visionary and remains just as enthralling today as when it was released back in 1986.

Set in an alternative Victorian era, it traces the story of a young orphan girl called Sheeta who hooks up with fellow orphan, Pazu, to solve the secret of her glowing crystal and hunt for the legendary flying city of Laputa – all while dodging sky pirates, secret government agents and a military megalomaniac.

A timeless tale of courage and friendship, every frame bursts with imagination and detail – let’s head to the sky!

  • Please Note: Weekend screenings of Castle in the Sky will screen with subtitles and midweek screenings will be dubbed.
