File:Laputa.jpg, used on the Castle in the Sky page, isn't the best. It's quite small, and undetailed, meaning it's difficult for the image to do its job of illustrating the trope. In my opinion, the ideal width should be around double the image's current size. Plus, there appears to be a very faint watermark on the top right, further diminishing the usability of the image.

Thus, I suggest that we upload a new version of the image, then update the licensing information accordingly. This is the same image, taken from the same movie, only it's larger and has better quality. Bonus: since it's from Ghibli's library of non commercial reusable images under common sense, we have the copyright holder's permission to use the image. Taking the image from an official source is always better than stating "this file is from TV Tropes" because it gives creators exposure.

Pinging the usual folks, although anyone is free to leave a comment.

Agreed that we should replace an image that we're using under Fair Dealing with an image that we can use with permission.

Vote to replace.

Gonna vote yes, especially considering the new image is fair use while being far above the original in terms of quality.
