ReplyDeleteBecause I could not get my hands a hold of City of Lost Children, I decided to watch Castle in the sky.
From the very beginning I felt that it was a strong steampunk fantasy, and my favorite part happened to be the sky pirates. The idea of the ships in the sky, and all of the cool gadgets that they have are very interesting. Not to mention my favorite part of the whole movie was how the castle was staying in the sky, and the different robots that it had protecting it. The characters fit really well into the script, and I am just excited to think about possibly adding a sky pirate into my script, but we will see!
