Inside the art of *Castle in the Sky*

This hardcover art book examines the visual development and animation of Studio Ghibli’s *Castle in the Sky*, the studio’s first feature film. The supplied description identifies interviews, concept sketches, and finished animation cels as part of the book’s material, offering several kinds of production-related content. It also places the film’s imagery alongside recurring concerns named in the description: flight, young women’s bravery, and a world changed by upheaval. The book’s emphasis is on the film as an artistic work and on the materials behind its creation, rather than on an extended account of its story.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Studio Ghibli fans interested in the art and animation of *Castle in the Sky*.
  • Readers who enjoy concept sketches and finished animation cels.
  • Those interested in film history and production materials.

Book overview

The definitive examination of the art and animation of Studio Ghibli's masterpiece of fantasy and flight, Castle in the Sky!

The latest in the perennially popular line of Studio Ghibli art books, which include interviews, concept sketches and finished animation cels from classics such as Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro.

Hayao Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky was the first feature film produced by the legendary Studio Ghibli. Sheeta, a girl who has the power to defy gravity, is on the run from pirates when she meets the young inventor Pazu. Together they explore the secrets of Laputa, a flying city constructed by a long-lost race of people. All of Miyazaki's major themes--the power of flight, the bravery of young women, and a world wrecked by change--are captured with beautiful animation and joyous storytelling.
