Tenkuu no Shiro Rapyuta (Laputa - Castle in the Sky)

|| English | Japanese | Other Languages | Books | CDs ||

Laputa was dubbed into English by Carl Macek. It was shown at a few art house theaters in the US and has also been shown at least twice on TV in Britain. It is said to be a OK dub. The dub is included in the Ghibli LD Box Set (See below) with English available on right analogue track.

Disney is going to redub it for the global release. The inside information from Disney so far indicates that "Laputa", which will be renamed as "Castle in the Sky", is set to be released in the US in 1999. An unconfirmed report says that Anna Paquin is to play the role of Sheeta. However, nothing is official yet.
