Update to Spirited Away Post

By the way, I watched another Hayao Miyazaki film, the 1986 anime film Laputa: Castle in the Sky and I just have to say, it was really a disappointment after Spirited Away. This film was not half as good, nor half as engaging. Mostly, my problem with this film revolved around the underdeveloped and stereotypical main characters, Sheeta and Panzu. I really didn't care what happened to them, and it seems as if Miyazaki didn't care much either. Perhaps in this film, more than Spirited Away, Miyazaki's focus remained on the theme, so that his character were only backdrop.
