Dolas Gang (Castle in the Sky) Cobra (Cobra: Space Adventure) Candy Pirates (Codename: Kids Next Door) Conan (Conan the Barbarian) Hookmon (Digimon) Captain Hookmon (Digimon) Regalecusmon (Digimon) Mermaimon (Digimon) Olegmon (Digimon) Voltobautamon. Some of us just can’t help but read sexuality into ambiguities. Air/Sky Pirates: Pirates who operate in the air, or, in general, the atmosphere of a planet, dwarf planet or moon, and travel by aircraft. I think the suggestion of Sheeta vs Dola’s gang as being prurient is more a western or American perception. Yes, there’s the lolita culture in Japan, but Miyazaki’s films have been largely immune from it. Sheeta played that part well, however temporarily, while on their ship. How could she not be? She has to keep her sons and ship in line-like Mama Fratelli from The Goonies, she has no avenue to really fill the mom role. They live on a ship with their mother, Dola, as the only feminine presence in their life, and she’s far from matronly. But there’s no overt indication that the pirate’s interest in Sheeta is prurient. With the pirates, led by Dola and the military, led by Muska, hot on their heels, only Sheetas.
Castle in the sky pirates movie#
I call the interest “odd” because Sheeta, as well as Pazu, are portrayed as early teenagers or younger (depending on which version you’re watching), and having grown men a few steps short of accosting a fairly captive young girl is inappropriate for any movie geared somewhat towards children. Sheeta and Pazu team up to find the mythical castle of Laputa, once a floating castle that is now grounded and abandoned, guarded only by robots and the animals of the forest. If I had a clip of the relevant scenes, I would link them here, but it’s a film distributed by Disney so its been outlawed from being viewed anywhere online. When a girl falls from the sky, wearing a pendant that may be a clue to the lost city, two children go on. Some time ago, on Facebook or on some message board had mentioned the odd interest the pirates took in Sheeta’s presence on their ship. Bear with me if you’ve never seen Castle in the Sky, or you’ve forgotten it.
