Castle in the Sky, the timeless story of courage and friendship from acclaimed Academy Award-winning director Hayao Miyazaki screens as part of the 2023 Studio Ghibli Fest.

The high-flying adventure Castle in the Sky starts when engineer’s apprentice Pazu (James Van Der Beek) spies a young girl named Sheeta (Anna Paquin), 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.

The English-dubbed cast includes the vocal talents of Anna Paquin, James Van Der Beek, Cloris Leachman, Mark Hamill, Mandy Patinkin, and more.
