The popular Island summer miracle known as the Mukai Studio Ghibli Festival, featuring five award-winning Japanese anime classic films, is only getting started at the Vashon Theatre. We’re sorry if you missed the first one – Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind – last week, but, there are still four to go and the next one, Castle in the Sky, will screen at 7PM on Tuesday, July 9. In this eye-catching extravaganza a young boy and girl with a magic crystal must race against pirates and foreign agents in a search for a legendary, floating castle. All the films are free to the public with a suggested five-dollar donation at the door, so you know, in a setup like this, best get there early if don’t want popcorn to be film time. Castle in the Sky, the second Ghibli Festival offering, at the Vashon Theatre at 7PM on Tuesday, July 9. This has been a Voice of Vashon public service announcement, Ongoing Bliss Department.
