A movie to watch with your son/daughter


Think is unmissable for animation lovers of all ages. Perfect rythm balance, a dream of story and images... landscapes where you would live in, touching moments and... one of the most strong robots in movies history, lol!

For every tender hearted boy or girl out there, please, watch this movie, this is pure animated poetry.

I don't think that this is the Anime film Laputa the Flying island (the absolutly gorgeous, beautiful best animated film ever made)
it must be something else,

I think it is.

Hahaha, definitely not the Miyazaki film.

The movie you're looking for is called

Castle in the Sky (UK) (DVD title) (USA) (DVD title)
or
Laputa: The Flying Island (UK) (TV title)

This film is directed by Helma Sanders-Brahms, a German, not Japanese director. She (the actual director of this film) directed Germany, Pale Mother, probably the most depressing film i have seen. ever. but quite good.

So yeah, i think if you showed this film to your kids they would probably pass out from boredom.
