Enjoyable animated film reminiscent of Studio Ghibli

A straightforward romance/adventure film set against the backdrop of a WW2-like conflict. A pilot/mercenary is hired to transport a woman of noble birth to her royal fiancee' as a way to improve the morale of her citizens. But the secrecy surrounding their trip has been compromised and they find themselves pursued by enemy forces.

Essentially, a two character drama (see title),the movie works for me for two reasons. First, the characters are very appealing. The pilot comes from a "mixed-race" background and we see how, despite the bad treatment he's received in the past, he remains honorable and decent. The princess' character is a bit less defined. But she too appears to want to do the right thing and takes her responsibility to marry a man she barely knows seriously. Not too surprisingly, the two find themselves drawn to one another.

Second, the action sequences (air battles) are well-animated and exciting. Just watching those scenes alone you would assume that this is a Hayao Miyasaki film. It's certainly influenced by him. I've no sense of the accuracy in depicting the way the airships and planes move but it certainly worked for me.

In the end, the question is what will become of their relationship once they reach their destination? I'll leave you to discover the details but I will say that the ending is bittersweet but quite satisfying. A really enjoyable animated film!

a socially rejected boy pilot takes a high paying risky job to escort the beautiful princess across the hostile ocean

OK it's not a movie you will watch with guy friends, it's very soothing without the ace pilot kick ass package.

it's a 2 hour escape into a childhood dream, there's the princess, and the sky for you.

if you grab a pina colada or ice tea open the window with cool breeze in the afternoon you'll be in the mood for this little gem

i'm totally into top gun etc but this movie while being the exact opposite, do bring me back in time where dreams are beautiful and nothing else matters, you'll enjoy the graphics and a little bit of pure innocent romance

if you must be a tough guy 100% of the time don't watch it, if you do have a soft romantic side and appreciate a little escape this is for you
