Exciting, all-ages anime airborne fantasy epic.

Unusually detailed animation glides hand in hand with the film’s aura of wonderment.
09/03/08
Miyazaki's flying contraptions are a sight to behold, rivaled only by the film's epic sweep and nonstop parade of action set-pieces.

It shows the master still learning, still discovering his pacing.

Liable to strain the patience of adults and the attention spans of children.

Top CriticI especially liked the designs of giant floating flying machines that seem taken straight out of 1920s science fiction magazine illustrations . . .

Some of the action verges on the cartoonish, but Miyazaki's extraordinary realism in dealing with his characters is already evident in this fun adventure story.

Despite the nonstop action, some deeply meditative lessons lurk beneath.

My favorite Miyazaki film
04/09/03
Interesting for the Miyazaki scholar for sure but still feeling its way in terms of the connectivity and brilliance of Miyazaki's later plots.

Try to picture Terry Gilliam doing an animated Star Wars by way of Jules Verne.
