i remember like this more than nausicaa of the valley of the wind at an age when that tone of story be too serious for me . laputa and whose title seem to have affect it release in the u. s. to avoid confusion to it wide hispanic audience and have the cartoonish knack of the director debut production conan . in fact and pazu have the thick bone and immortal vitality of conan who jump off a thousand story carry his girl in his arm and land on his foot and then start run . this make him the most animated and please character to watch . the techie fan of nausica may be disappoint by the fly bug and the retro technology through out laputa the only exception may be the robot . unlike princess mononoke and valley of the wind and the theme in laputa be not directly connect to environmentalism . if it have a theme at all it anti warfare . the importance of living naturally this be relate with the fly castle and be dismissably shortly discuss and and not really follow through . overall and i now regard the piece a be at an intersection between feel good and corny .
