Hayao Miyazaki's
fantasy adventure Castle in the Sky begins with a chase scene through a flying ship, where all the passengers are after the young girl,
Sheeta (voice of
Anna Paquin). Going overboard to avoid capture,
Sheeta is rescued by her powerful crystal necklace which floats her down to safety. She's recovered by
Pazu (voice of
James Van Der Beek), a young resourceful boy who works in a small mining town. Sharing a common desire to see Laputa, the castle in the sky, Pazu and Sheeta team up to outrun the pirates and the military. Led by hard-bitten matriarch
Dola (voice of
Cloris Leachman), the pirates are a rowdy yet dimwitted group of brothers who are after Laputa's treasure. Led by the greedy yet civilized
Muska (voice of
Mark Hamill), the military is after Laputa's secret powers. Everyone races to get to the abandoned castle of Laputa, which has been overgrown with vines and plant life. Its only inhabitants are the animals and robots who protect a magical garden. As the different parties fight over who gets to control Laputa, it's up to Sheeta to use her ancient knowledge to save it from ultimate destruction. The English-language version also includes the voices of
Mandy Patinkin and
Andy Dick.
