Castle in the Sky: Pazu’s Quest & The Mystery of the Island
The boy hero Pazu has his origins in ancient mythology, and in true Miyazaki fashion, it has to do with the wind. In the last of our 3-part mini-series on Castle in the Sky, we explore how the film connects the mythologies of wind, earth and sky, and then look at how Pazu’s story is the classic Father Quest that Hollywood has horribly overdone but it’s so fresh and interesting when Miyazaki does it.<br /> And finally, we’ll go into the big questions: What is Laputa? Why is it important that all of these people end up there? And what are the Buddhist spiritual teachings hiding in plain sight as Miyazaki wraps up his story?

Castle in the Sky: Sheeta’s Disney Princess Subversion
One nuanced thing that connects Studio Ghibli films is the attention that the Studio’s two main writers and directors pay to the actual physical spaces that the characters move around in -- making landscapes and architecture characters in their own right. In this episode, we'll be talking about Studio Ghibli landscapes, from the vanishing scenery of My Neighbor Totoro, through Yakushima Forest that inspired Princess Mononoke, the exact building Spirited Away's bathhouse is based on, and how Studio Ghibli's focus on landscapes ties into Buddhist meditation practices.

Castle in the Sky: Story Origins
Castle in the Sky is often waved away by Western film critics as simplistic and not nearly as polished as later Miyazaki films - but that's a huge misconception. In the first of our three-episode look into this raw, early Ghibli masterpiece, we'll explore the origins of the film's story, how a scouting trip to Wales and the South of England influenced the film's landcape and characters, and we'll also talk about the film's unique childhood lens and how it changes depending on whether you're watching with the English dub or the original Japanese voice acting.
