About Castle in the Sky
Overview
Fantasy and adventure provide a practical reason to put this feature on a one-film shortlist. Following Hayao Miyazaki is one route into the catalogue, but the genre pairing helps distinguish it from his drama-oriented work. The catalogue’s release year identifies the work, not a current local cinema booking. The structured source identifies this as a film with a release year of 1986 and a listed runtime of 124 minutes. Credited creators in the imported record: Hayao Miyazaki.
