Maybe floating castles are just that popular, but out of all the [Studio Ghibli][3] creations, the one that seems to inspire Facebook players the most is [Laputa: Castle in the Sky][4], a 1986 animated Japanese film that was in turn, inspired by a chapter of Jonathan Swift's _Gulliver's Travels_. Even if we've yet to see any official Ghibli sets in Facebook games (aside from a one-time [homage][5] by Crowdstar's Happy Island), the recent [Adventure Week][6] in [The Sims Social][7] gave player lingling000 the tools she needed to build her own Laputa, which can definitely go on record as one of the most [unconventional, yet amazing house designs][8] ever.

But lingling000 went one step farther -- she also dressed up her Sim as Colonel Muska, the primary antagonist of the film, by using the March Hare's Tea Jacket (costs 20 SimCash) from the [Alice in Wonderland theme][9], and Blue Retro Sunglasses (2,200 Simoleons).

Have you seen Castle in the Sky or any of the Hayao Miyazaki films produced by Studio Ghibli? **Sound off in the comments.** **[Add Comment][10]**
