Things that fly in Studio Ghibli films"

(I translated Korean to English with the help of AI.)  

Spoiler alert for the anime film 'Laputa : Castle in the Sky'

Humans without wings dream of flying in the sky. If that dream were realized now, would it disappear? Hayao Miyazaki and Ghibli continue to dream that dream – an unobstructed flight.

"I've been deeply moved while watching Studio Ghibli's animations. Among those numerous emotions, there's also 'excitement.' Personally, a significant portion of that excitement came from the 'flying things' within their works.



Many flying machines appear in Studio Ghibli's animations. The images above are just a small part of them. I've only included the ones I personally like and found impressive in the drawing. I especially love the flying things that appear in 'Laputa: Castle in the Sky'.

'Laputa: Castle in the Sky' is like a paean to flying things. Although it's said to be based on an episode from 'Gulliver's Travels,' it's imprinted on me as a purely original Ghibli work. Laputa, an island floating in the sky, and the spectacle of flying robots and various aircraft are just breathtaking. I was captivated by the air pirates, Dola Gang, and their flying machines. The dragonfly-winged aircraft and the action sequences resulting from them, I dare say, marked a significant chapter in film history.

Humans have become able to leave Earth and fly into space, but it seems something is still lacking to satisfy our imagination. It's as if humans are beings who fly in the sky and yet still imagine flying.
