Art of Castle in the Sky: 1 (The Art of Castle in the Sky) Hardcover – 20 Oct. 2016

Purchased as a gift for my partner. They loved it. Great, high quality print and perfect for fans of the film or for artist reference.

Its more a book of stills from the movie with some sketch works of the original art, but the artwork is so beautiful it made it a great addition to fans of Miyazaki's work.

So as a big fan of Miyazaki (and the studio ghibli films) I had to get this new edition of Castle in the Sky, and I have not been let down.The book arrives in perfect condition, and very quick. The cover is beyond beautiful, the amazing teal colours and the artwork on the front alone is good enough to grasp you in. The book is completely identical to the original Japanese one, the only difference is this book has hard, beautiful, crisp pages.It opens with the original propsal for the film, and there's a lovely introduction which tells you about the film and how it was made.There are also a few screenshots from the movie which below have a caption to tell you exactly what is happening and what the characters are feeling. Throughout you get a lot of beautiful artwork pieces.It ends with the complete English language dub script.

High quality product and very colourful; it really brings the film to life. A really nice idea for a gift.

One of my all time favorite movies by Miyazaki.However, having worked in the animation industry for well over 15 years, I think this book could have been compiled better in terms of artwork that is being included. I would have liked to see more drawings, sketches, backgrounds, artists at work and little less of completed frames from the movie itself.Other than that, it is a book I will cherish!

Bought for my son who liked the film

For any fan of the film this book is a must have, truly a quality book

Fantastic art book

Artbook belíssimo, digno de um prêmio, obra sensacional de Miyazaki, chegou bem embalada e a entrega dentro do prazo, em um bom estado, boa compra!

Beautiful art by the SG production. Perfect SG collection.

Un libro que todo amante de la obra del maestro Miyazaki debe tener.

Was der Titel sagt.Ein Kritikpunkt den ich habe ist: Es gibt zwei Arten von Bildern im Buch: Bilder aus dem Filmrelease, und Bilder die nachträglich nochmal von den original Zellen abfotografiert wurden. Erstere haben definitiv eine schlechtere Qualität.Aber alles in allem who cares ich bin zufrieden.

Volume cartonato contenete gli schizzi concettuali, i bozzetti preparatori e le immagini tratte dall'Anime di "Laputa, il castello nel cielo" di Hayao Miyazaki.Oltre alle immagini, il volume include anche alcune curiosità sulla nascita dell'Anime e la sceneggiatura finale, scritta da Hayao Miyazaki stesso. Il testo del volume è in inglese, ma facilmente comprensibile.I contenuti del volume sono organizzati in base alla sequenza temporale dell'Anime. Sfogliando le pagine, si ha la sensazione di rivedere l'Anime stesso, rivivendo tutte le vicende, dall'inizio alla fine. Tuttavia, si ha modo di godersi i contenuti con occhi differenti, soffermandosi sulle immagini rappresentate e sui dettagli, ed approfondire la trama e gli avvenimenti rappresentati.Le immagini relative ai paesaggi sono veramente belle ed evocative.Ottima la qualità della carta e la stampa.Il volume è interamente stampato su carta lucida, eccetto la sezione finale, in cui è riportata la sceneggiatura finale scritta da Hayao Miyazaki.Consegna nei tempi.Buono l'imballaggio.
