10 Most Uplifting Anime Movies

4. Castle In The Sky

Known as Laputa: Castle in the Sky in Europe, this subtle nod to Gulliver’s Travels is the first official film by Studio Ghibli. This film is pure escapism; an adventure about a boy from a small mining town, a girl with a magical amulet, a floating island, and an adorable robot – what’s not to love?

The soundtrack by Joe Hisaishi is one of the most memorable of all the Ghibli films – perhaps of all cinema – and is guaranteed to raise hairs.
