Castle in the Sky 1986
Every piece of fantasy in media after this has been indubitably influenced by it, that is Miyazaki’s art.
I have fallen in love with the imagery of Castle in the Sky.

Animation is advancing in a spectacular way independently from anime and western cartoons while still accepting their legacy, and Puss in Boots is the prime example…
