Castle in the sky 2
Instead of fundamentally changing the impact of his score, he actually made it bigger and better than before. So he went in and re-did his great soundtrack to flesh it out a bit, and the result is excellent. The original score for Laputa was only about an hour long, in a two-hour-plus film. Firstly, they asked Joe Hisaishi to re-score the film. The US DVD release of Laputa is interesting in that Disney has done a couple things to make this English release the best of any that preceded it.
Combine all of that with an excellent and memorable Joe Hisaishi score, and you have a jewel of animation. There's a giant, yet lovable, robot that instantly becomes one of the most memorable characters in the film. The world of the movie looks to use early 20th Century technology, yet it's filled with these giant airships and flying cities. This film, as with the ones that followed it ( Mononoke, Spirited Away, etc.), is yet another example of the explosive imagination that Miyazaki has. Countering the long running time (for an animated film) are characters so likable that you never get bored, you always want to see what adventure is next for them right up to the end. At a running time of just over two hours, Castle in the Sky is filled with enough action, enough characters, and enough character development to fill two or three standard Disney animated films. While Pazu wants to hold up the good name of his father, Sheeta holds a secret that links her to Laputa, and treasure hunters pursue the two. It takes place in a land filled with giant airships and tells the story of Pazu and Sheeta who go on a huge adventure to find the mythical floating city of Laputa. The Movie Castle in the Sky is an epic action-adventure from the premier mind in animation, Hayao Miyazaki. Along with Spirited Away and Kiki's Delivery Service, Laputa is finally seeing a Region 1 DVD release as part of Disney's first wave of two-disc Miyazaki titles, and despite being a little slim on the extras it was worth the wait. It's an epic adventure set in an imaginative land, and it also features one of the best Joe Hisaishi scores.
Laputa, or Castle in the Sky was the first Miyazaki film that I can remember seeing.

Castle in the Sky
PROFOUNDLY influential steampunk film that's famous in Japan. It's a really fun adventure story where a girl and a boy try to find a legendary floating castle while being chased by the military and pirates with airships!! There's action and danger but it also has a lot of calm, beautiful moments and cozy aesthetics. It's a childhood favorite of mine. It's directed by Miyazaki
Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie
Out of all the 'Netflix brought this old show back for a big blowout finale movie' movies, it was easily the most warranted, the most DESERVED, and the most HYPE. the Jungle Movie as a concept was in development hell since Hey Arnold ended and it pays off the entire series. Helga finally confesses her love for Arnold and they actually get together (as much as two 12 year olds can get together at least) and the locket that she's been carrying around this entire series is what happens to save everyone in the end, Helga's love literally saves an entire civilization it's p. great.
Also Arnold finds his parents, a story that's been shrouded in mystery basically from the first time the question of 'why does Arnold live with his grandparents' is considered in-narrative, where all we knew was that they disappeared when Arnold was only like two or so to aid a secretive mesoamerican civilization that was dying off from a mysterious illness and we actually get to see him get them back
and they even show a man die by poisoning and then falling into a ravine so like bonus points there

1986 for the movie ask prompt
I feel like maybe this is a trap by someone who's only ever seen The Labyrinth to get me to pick the only movie that was made that year, hit Jim Henson movie The Labyrinth.
But for my real and very correct opinion, I'd have to go with Little Shop of Horrors. I listen to the soundtrack all the time.

Upon rewatch of the Mario Movie, I really gotta wonder how long the Mario Bros were in the Mushroom Kingdom for.
They get sucked through the pipe past sundown Brooklyn time, which depending on the season is like 8-9 o’clock, Mario arrives in the Mushroom Kingdom in the day time, maybe late afternoon, and spends the rest of the day through the night into the morning on Peach’s Mario Maker level, travels all the next day, sleeps in a Fire Flower field for the night, arrives at the Kong Kingdom mid the next day, leaves the Kong Kingdom on Karts around sunset, which turns to night as they are ambushed, leading to Mario and DK spending the entire night inside an eel only breaking out early the next morning, just to make it barely in time to Peach and Bowser’s wedding sometime around noon, and go back through the pipe to have it be early morning in Brooklyn with the rest of the Mario family carrying on with breakfast as usual.
So they spend 3 Days in the Mushroom Kingdom, but only like 12 hours of Brooklyn time seems to have passed.

Today for my absolut favorite piece of art for this year's Femslash February! ✨
I have always, ALWAYS, wanted to do a Ghibli au with AkanexAkari. And I haven't seen so much done with Laputa castle in the sky. Plus I felt it suited them as well so I ended up with it.
