Sheeta, while having a mysterious past, is a typically kind and generous child who is simply caught in the middle of everything. While they search, they are tracked by pirates and government agents who want to use the floating city for their own ends.Īdditionally, the characters are decently cut and dry as well. A mysterious girl named Sheeta and a boy named Pazu look for a lost city that is said to be in the skies. The plot of Castle in the Sky is pretty basic. If you haven't seen it before, I'll try to be as spoiler-free as possible, but its summary on Netflix already gives most of the story away, so there's not much need to give any kind of warning. Plot Summaryīefore I begin, it'll be good to give a rundown of the basic plot and premise of the film. It's an anime created by one of my favorite filmmakers, Hayao Miyazaki, called Castle in the Sky. In this first one, with the release of all of Studio Ghibli's catalogue of films on Netflix, I'm going to take a look at a childhood favorite movie of mine. In it, I want to look at works of art and media through the lens of story-crafting and world-building, and how they came to be some of my favorite things. This is going to be another series in addition to my normal blogs. In an effort to write a little more on this blog, and taking a small break from making and iterating on my board game, Of Duchies and Polities (which, if you're interested in it, you can take a look right here), I want to begin a series in one of my geeky past-times: looking at art and media in terms of story and storytelling.
