Hello my Toons, Toonies, and Toonettes!

So after seeing the likes and comments for my FN/CITS Human AU, it's time for me to give you a fun mini sneak peak at what I have so far

I do have a synopsis, and character descriptions all set and ready to post, but I wanted to share this with you all just to give you a glimpse at how the characters interact, and some changes as well!

So please enjoy, and I hope you all like this

Everything happened so fast for the two, one minute they were running back from the fortress, after Dory told them to forget about finding Laputa, and now they were pulled inside, and were soon being tied up, Marlin got a good look at who pulled them in. One was Wade, one of the pirates that tried to grab them on the bridge, and the other was Buzz, the one that tried to grab Dory when they got to town. By the table filled with foods and wine, were Jessie and Bo, the leaders of the crew, and a few others that were snickering, Nemo tries to pounce at them, but Buzz pulls him back, tying him next to his father, Jessie smiled at the orange haired boys

"Welcome home, boys. I see you got back here safe and sound" Jessie said, with a tone of both snark and cold mixed

"Get out! Aah! Get out, or I'll throw you out!" Marlin replied back, trying to break free of his restraints. "This is my house!"

Bo softly laughed, taking a small bite out of a green apple. "Oh, you two don't scare us. Besides, you couldn't even protect one girl that you considered your friend!"

"What do you mean by that!?" Nemo said, he then noticed Wade grabbing the coins out of Nemo's pockets, Wade smiled, while Nemo growled

"Hey Jess! Can I keep this money?" Wade said generously, Bo gave him a glance, basically a "Put it back, it's not yours" glance, as Wade placed it back in Nemo's pocket, Jessie clicked her tongue at the gold

"My god. Up and sold the girl, did you?" Jessie said in disgust, some of the other pirates in the room shook their heads

"You don't know what you're talking about! So why don't you keep your words to yourself!" Marlin commented, anger was clear in his tone, Jessie glared at the man, and stepped up, slamming her hands on the table, Mike and Sulley grabbed the food, making sure none spilled to the floor

"Oh how rich! Keep it to myself, They offered you two money, and you both took it, didn't you? You rather take the money instead of defending the girl that you both call your friend! You left because of that!" Jessie said angrily, the others watched quietly, Bo wanted to wait until she spoke for herself. Marlin and Nemo growled at Jessie

"We only left because Dory told us to! That's why, we didn't take the money because we wanted it, we left because she told us to!" Nemo said, plead was in his voice, he wanted them to believe both him and his father

"So, you believed her, and you came back here, right? You both are nothing more than sacred little boys who runs away from dangerous situations!" Jessie said, once again slamming her fist on the table, Marlin looks at her in the eyes, and scoffs

"Oh your the one to talk! You and your crew don't even have the guts to stand up to Sherman and the army!"

This time, Bo spoke, unlike Jessie, her tone was more soft-spoken, but also strong. "She who turns and runs away can steal the treasure another day!"

"Don't you think it's kind of strange… that the army's gotten into the girl napping business?" Bo said, taking a bite out of a ham, she pulls until a piece breaks off, she takes it out of her mouth and gives Marlin and Nemo a confident but kind look

"Do you really think they'll keep her alive? You think that once that they have that necklace on and going, they will take her along their little scheme?"

"Don't you see that they forced her to make a deal?" Jessie spoke, her tone was now calm but also loud and brave

"Huh?" Both Marlin and Nemo said, as Bo places the ham slice in her mouth, she chews on it, and shakes her head

"She saved your lives, do you both get it?" Bo said, still chewing on her ham piece, The boys glance down at the floor, Bo was correct, Dory must've done that to keep them safe, and they didn't even notice, while they were looking down, some of the others were surprised by Bo's words and wisdom

"Wow Bo, you always have a way to amaze me. How do you know these things?" Mater said, taking a small piece of bread and begins to eat it up

"Well, you can't be a sensitive woman like me… without learning a few things. Dory and I are exactly alike, all warm, mushy, and kind."

"Hey, what about me and the other girls?" Joy said, eating a small red apple

"You guys count as well, at least you would protect those you love, correct?" Bo said, raising an eyebrow at her crew, everyone nodded, as Jessie snatches the wine bottle from Sulley, earning Jessie a glare from him

"Now, so when you boys and gal's either get married, find girlfriends or boyfriends and etc, you go find a gal or guy like Dory!" Jessie said proudly, chugging down the wine like it's nothing, some of the guys spoke up"

"Huh? She's gonna end up like Jessie?" Wade commented, Ember softly chuckled

"I mean, if she is like Jessie and Bo combined, I don't think she would be that bad" Ember responded, Joy and the other girls smiled, suddenly, EVE runs inside, carrying a telegraph machine, it was starting to ring, EVE makes beeping sounds, which makes Jessie smile

"We got something! Move this stuff off the table NOW!" Jessie said, shoving all of the food and drinks off

"Aw, Jessie! That was, The ham! That was a good ham man" the crew groan, as Jessie places the box down, and begins to listen to the telemarketer, Bo also listens in, noticing that the code was being changed

"Jess, they're trying to change the code on us, I need some help"

"Hah! they think that changing the code on me will work, hand me my morse code book" Jessie chuckled, extending her hand, Joy hands her the book, as Marlin and Nemo watched, after a few seconds, Jessie's expression changes from confident to concern

"They're calling for air destroyer Stanton, that means.....Oh no!" Jessie said, standing up

"W-What, what's wrong?" Nemo said, noticing everyone was beginning to grab their things, Some of the boys were still eating the food that was shoved off the table"

"They're planning to take off with Dory, We need to hurry, or it'll be too late!" Bo replied, grabbing her satchel and gear, EVE grabs the telegraph machine, and quickly heads up to the rooftops, signaling the others to get ready

"Come on boys!" Jessie said, but noticed that they were still eating, she stomps her foot, scaring them. "STOP EATING AND LETS GO!"

"AAH!- Were going!- Okay, heard you!-" The boys spoke all at once, and ran up the steps, Lightning and Woody were getting their gear all set up, as well as Buzz, Marlin noticed and tries to get their attention

"W-Wait! Are you going to rescue Dory?" Marlin asked, hoping for a good answer

"No, you no-good coward, We want her necklace!" Buzz replied back, Nemo shook his head

"Wait a minute! You've got to have Dory... to make the Aetherium Necklace work! Otherwise it's completely useless!" Nemo said, concern and fear mixed in his tone

"Please let us come with you! We need to save her!" Both Marlin and Nemo pleaded, Jessie and Bo stopped in their tracks, listening to them

"Dory means everything to me. To Nemo. We want to help! That necklace will not work without her!" Marlin responded, he was praying that the girls will give them a chance

"You know something? You both are acting like sniveling little crybabies, you know that right?" Jessie said, as she was placing on her flight cap and goggles

"Maybe you're right. We should've protected Dory... but instead, I was stupid and angry, Nemo didn't do anything in that decision, I promise. But please, let us come with you guys, and we swear...I swear that I'll protect her this time!" Marlin said, his voice was almost at the point of breaking, Wade and Mater poke their heads around the corner, and smirked

"Marlin loves Dory XD" The two said in unison, "Knock it off, or else we will leave you two behind" Bo responded, glaring at them, causing Wade and Mater to scurry away in frantic. Jessie and Bo look at Marlin and Nemo, their faces showed that they truly want to help, as well as having concern, after some time, Bo spoke

"I guess you'll be useful in getting Dory to cooperate, since I think she trusts you two a lot" Bo calmly spoke, she walks over to them, her expression serious and determined

"You might never come back here again you two" Bo said, wanting them to know the consequences of them coming along

"We know." Marlin said, Nemo also nodded, if that mean't rescuing Dory from Sherman and his nasty army, they would take that risk

"Ready for what might happen?" Bo responded back, garnering her nods from both Marlin and Nemo, she takes out her dagger, and cuts them loose

"We leave here in one minute! Grab anything that you think is essential to you both!" Bo said, and soon, Marlin and Nemo dashed off, Jessie walks up to Bo and smiled

"Nice work Bo, You think they might be helpful?" Jessie said with curiosity

"I know it, if they truly mean what they said, if what Marlin is true, then we should give them a chance" Bo said kindly, the two then head up to where the Flaptors are, and began to get ready, during the montage, we see Marlin grabbing his satchel, as well as his aviator goggles and cap, Nemo was the same, he wanted to make sure that he had everything for the rescue. Nemo and Marlin then make it up to the rooftops, but Nemo skids to a quick stop, and runs over to the pigeon cages, he opens them, and smiles kindly

"Now, you guys be good. Alright" Nemo said, as the pigeons flew out, after that, he makes it to where Marlin, Jessie, and Bo are, Woody and Buzz were next to them, Jessie hands them a special belt to wrap around their waists

"Here, fasten this. This will make sure that you don't fall out!" Jessie said, as Buzz starts up the Flaptor"

"Right!" They both responded, Marlin helps Nemo out. "Make sure you hold on tight to me okay Nemo?" Marlin said to Nemo, Nemo nodded. "Don't worry dad, with my mechanical arm, I think I won't lose my grip"

Bo gives the signal to the other Pixar Pirates, WALL-E gives them the okay signal to take off, the Flaptors begin to lift off the air, as Jessie gives everyone the signal

"Let's rendezvous at the Tiger Moth. and get the girl and her necklace!!" Jessie shouted, and thus, the flaptors zoomed across the landscape, the pirates cheered, as they make their embark to the fortress"

Saw Castle in the Sky for the first time ever yesterday. It was the subbed version, so alas no Mark Hamill as the villainous Muska (apparently he plays him in the dub).

Watching it it’s pretty clear to me that it borrowed a fair bit from other media while also inspiring quite a bit as well.

Made in 1986 one of the more chilling scenes in CiTS has a robot covered in flames unharmed but looking a bi worse for wear. Yep… 2 years after the first Terminator film did so in its iconic scenes. 9unless that happened in the second Terminator. I can’t remember, think it was the first)

It certainly also I’m guessing inspired Disney’s Atlantis the Lost Empire a great deal. Between the royal main characters and their blue crystals that float and in turn allow their user to float as well as access the technology of an ancient forgotten land.

Now the story itself while very Ghibli/Miyazaki is extremely vague. It’s hard to say what the world IS exactly in it.

The early opening montage plays with the idea that humanity essentially ruined the planet in its scientific endeavors eventually having many create their own dozens if not hundreds of floating islands. This is basically said to be untrue as the film goes on however. Later in the film it’s also heaviliy implied that the world of CiTS is either an alternate present or future mentioning the real life Christian myth of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Ultimately the apparent story is that 700 years ago Laputa was a civilization that ruled the entire world and eventually some form of infighting and cruel love of power led to apparent internal strife. Sadly Miyazaki seems to miss a rather bit plot point that this means as Sheeta is a descendant of the royal family that her family was the one that brought such destruction and cruel intentions to the world. Muska another royal descendant seems to be purposefully created to be the Laputans at their cruelest.

Like with many Miyazaki films a LOT is left open to question. The ending itself shows us that the Laputan Castle in the Sky isn’t going anywhere and that while it’s away from humans for NOW it’s still in reach and in a way less protected than it was at the start of the films story.

So our film leaves us in an oddly crapsack world overall. Humans will be able to reach Laputa again someday and quite likely use its powers negatively yet again. Though understandable given everything that happens Sheeta’s own decisions (along with Pazu) to leave Laputa, in all truth have probably doomed Earth (or will someday) as only she really understands it to any degree outside of say Muska.

Similarly the Earth seems to be running out of specific resources IE tin and aluminum (or was it copper) implying even the Earth itself has been pushed to its limits with humanity. It is interesting that a film about reconnecting to nature so it can provide for you an the future generations also plays up the mining town as a cute eco-healthy thing given how bad mines are for wildlife, clean water etc… overall.
