This is a film that EVERYONE should see. The story is AMAZING, I have watched this movie numerous times, and with each viewer, I am still left in wonder at many scenes. The events that happen in the movie, coupled with the stunning animation (it's still impressive considering it's nearly 30 years old), makes many scenes extremely memorable. While the second half of the movie blows you away, the first half isn't too bad either. It does a great job of setting up the background and revealing the central part of the plot, Laputa (the structure that's floating in the sky) piece by interesting piece. There's a lot of humor injected throughout the film, making it very enjoyable. There's never a dull moment. The scope is pretty big too, carrying the two protagonists everywhere. By the time the hour mark is up, it surprises you at how different the current predicament is compared to before. The designs of the world is unique and leaves an impression on you, from the robots to the building structures to the giant tree in the middle of the castle. Each section feels like a lot of thought was put in. The music used elevates the events to new heights. Especially the ending, with the beautiful track that was playing, it left a huge emotional impact. Seeing the two protagonists support each other and the pirates becoming the good guys warms your heart. Definitely one of the best movie ever made.
