We Love Anime Every year, many unmissible anime films don’t make it into cinemas in the UK. We Love Anime have partnered with Manga Entertainment, Kaze & Optimum Releasing to bring a selection of the biggest anime films to the big screen across the UK and Ireland.
Introduced by anime expert Helen McCarthy.
Two children set off on a hazardous hunt for the legendary flying castle Laputa, but a gang of pirates and a sinister government agent are also chasing the airborne treasure. A rollercoaster adventure in a 19th century fantasy world, with spectacular aerial battles scenes which never obscure the film's essential innocence.
Miyazaki’s lush animation provides action and emotional integrity and is a flawless anime masterclass.
Japan 1986 Dir. Hayao Miyazaki 124 min. In Japanese with English subtitles.
