I think no young eyes should ever be forced to behold the crappy cover art of this movie. You might want to protect them from that (same goes for my neighbor Totoro)
.
Seriously, I own and have let my entire family see this movie. It's a Miyizaki "children" movie, so all you have to worry about are some explosiong that aren't graphic. Plus, a guy shoots someone's pig tials off, which is just sad. If you're cute enough to have pig tails, no one has the right to shoot them off. So aside from explosions and violence against pigtails, you should definitely watch it! Very family friendly!
BTW, watch the Japanese trailer. The voice for the main male character is so bad that me and my sister still mimic him when we wantt a good laugh. Oh, yeah, there's also a review in our review section if you want a more comprehensive review. (Despite the fact that I think the basics have been throughly covered in this thread already)
EDIT: I was just thinking about it, and I figured I might as well just say that I liked My Neighbor Totoro better than Castle in the Sky. It was just all around cuter and more interesting to me. Plus, no one looses their pig tail.
Give that one a try. It's a Miyizaki classic.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill.
Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality,
