Mari Arita of the ''{{ill|Weekly Asahi|ja|週刊朝日}}'' appreciated the film's dynamic action sequences, favorably comparing its flying scenes with ''[[Peter Pan (1953 film)|Peter Pan]]'' (1953). She highlighted the details in the animation,{{harvnb|Arita|1986}}, republished in {{harvnb|Studio Ghibli|1996|p=118}}. as did the film critic {{ill|Yūkichi Shinada|ja|品田雄吉}} in ''[[Kinema Junpo]]'', who also complimented the background art in the first act. He felt, however, that the film did not convincingly blend its Western "[[fairy tale]]" influences and Japanese manga-derived elements.{{sfn|Shinada|1986}} |

In the ''{{ill|Asahi Journal|d|Q106115611}}'', the writer [[Inuhiko Yomota]] wrote that the film "presents extremely contemporary issues", praising the depiction of Laputa as a utopia which gradually developed dystopian elements.{{harvnb|Yomota|1986}}, republished in {{harvnb|Studio Ghibli|1996|p=118}}, cited in {{harvnb|Kanō|2006|p=106}}. A reviewer for ''City Road'' wrote that the film presents themes that were critical of modern society while still maintaining a "warm and caring" view of humanity.{{harvnb|''City Road''|1986}}, republished in {{harvnb|Studio Ghibli|1996|p=118}}. |
