I’m your host, Adam Dobay, and let’s Follow the Moon Rabbit to the distant mythical island that our dad set off to find in his DIY retro-19th century airship. We’ll 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.Īnd finally, we’ll go into the question I find most exciting: 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?Īgain, there’s so much to talk about, so let’s jump right back into the conversation with my returning guest, Flick Beckett.

No wonder this is part 3 of our three-part mini-series exploring the world of Tenku no Shiro Rapyuta, or as it’s known outside of Japan, Castle in the Sky. ![]() Here at Moon Rabbit we’re obviously very interested in mysterious flying islands.
