When Briquette set out to capture the magic of Studio Ghibli's first animated masterpiece, they knew the build had to soar. Their Castle in the Sky - Studio Ghibli Miyazaki - "The Meeting" project recreates that breathtaking moment when Pazu and Sheeta discover the floating city of Laputa. Already sailing past 6,600 supporters (and climbing faster than their brick-built glider!), this brilliant tribute proves that Hayao Miyazaki's environmental message translates perfectly into plastic bricks.

The centerpiece guardian robot stands watch over the overgrown ruins, embodying Miyazaki's vision of technology serving nature rather than destroying it. Briquette has captured those sweeping architectural curves and organic plant growth that make Castle in the Sky so visually stunning. You can practically feel the wind rushing through Pazu and Sheeta's hair as they approach this awesome floating sanctuary (complete with their detailed glider ready for landing!).

What makes this project shine beyond its excellent construction techniques? Briquette understands that the best LEGO® builds tell stories. Their attention to environmental themes feels especially relevant today, proving that a 1986 animated film about respecting our planet resonates as strongly as ever. The way nature reclaims the abandoned city through clever green pieces and organic shapes shows real building wisdom.


Studio Ghibli fans have been dreaming of official LEGO® sets for years, and Castle in the Sky - Studio Ghibli Miyazaki - "The Meeting" could be the project that makes it happen. With its fantastic balance of recognizable characters, iconic architecture, and meaningful storytelling, this build deserves every vote heading toward that 10,000-supporter finish line. Will you help this floating castle find its way to LEGO® shelves?
