Castle in the Sky (1986)

 'Castle in the Sky' is a steampunk anima by Hayao Miyazaki where a pubescent boy and girl go in search of a mythical floating city, and are pursued by both pirate's and their own government. I watched the English dub from the turn of the millennium. One of the directors more overtly juvenile targeted films, it still displays his wonderful mythic sense and great originality. Cloris Leachman's casting as Captain Dula is about as perfect as can be.  ***1/2
