Tickets are on sale now for Castle in the Sky, a timeless story of courage and friendship from acclaimed Academy Award®-winning director Hayao Miyazaki.
This high-flying adventure begins when Pazu, an engineer’s apprentice, spies a young girl, Sheeta, floating down from the sky, held aloft by a glowing pendant. Both Sheeta and Pazu are searching for the legendary floating castle, Laputa, and they vow to travel there together to unravel the mystery of the luminous crystal. But their quest won’t be easy, as soon they are being pursued by greedy air pirates, the military, and secret government agents, who all seek the power Sheeta alone can control.
Celebrating its 40th anniversary, the film returns to theatres this August for five nationwide screenings. Castle in the Sky will be shown in both the original Japanese and English-dubbed versions, featuring the voices of Anna Paquin, James Van Der Beek, Cloris Leachman, Mark Hamill, and Mandy Patinkin in their early roles.
In addition to the full features, screenings will include a post-film clip from the bonus featurette, “The World of Laputa”.
GKIDS and Fathom Entertainment are pleased to continue Studio Ghibli Fest with a seven-title lineup, additionally featuring the 25th anniversary of Spirited Away.
Tickets for Castle in the Sky 40th Anniversary can be purchased online by visiting GhibliFest.com, FathomEntertainment.com and at participating theatre box offices (Theatre participants are subject to change).
