New Unoffical Laputa: Castle in the Sky CGI Short Streamed

posted on by Ken Iikura-Gross
Relive the magic of seeing the Castle in the Sky for the first time

Laputa: Castle in the Sky. Nearly 40 years after the movie's release, a fan has taken that iconic scene and reanimated it using CGI:

The video detailing the new unofficial short was posted on the X (formerly YouTube channel on March 25. The video shows the iconic robot from Castle in the Sky and the landing pad the series protagonists, Pazu and Sheeta, land on as CGI models. The creator also included some behind-the-scenes footage in their video, showing the dedication to this ion project.

I made Laputa: Castle in the Sky by myself. Rather than converting it to CG, I valued the appearance of Laputa when its first revealed, the age of time, and the atmosphere. It took me about 4 months to complete from scratch in my spare time after work or while raising children🤠

While this is an unofficial video, it's amazing to see the work and dedication placed into the short. Considering the creator claims to be an artist at ILM, it's no wonder the animations are such high quality. Check the short video out if you are a fan of Laputa: Castle in the Sky.
